Homo-sapiens since inception have showcased their creativity through various objects, designed by them for decorating either themselves or their homes. If we look at the evolution of human beings since Stone Age, we will find very interesting objects and painting created by them. The creative instincts are visible in small kids whenever they are capable of holding a pencil or a crayon. A visit to various museums across the world will show that human beings were at their creative best at all ages. So the design education is as old as the human beings themselves. However, the creativity and design education has changed tremendously over a period of time and has taken altogether a new shape today owing to the vast development in technology. Industry, Trade and Commerce are highly dependent on designers to create innovative products, packaging materials, advertisement, brochures, films, garments, apparels and pamphlets etc. Jaipur is one of the largest commercial hubs having a very strong market in Gem & Jewellery, Fashion and Textiles, Interiors and craft products, Graphic, Tourism, Hospitality and Hotels, etc.

The School of Design at JECRC University has undergraduate four-year degree programs in Bachelor of Design, Bachelor of Visual Arts,Master’s in Design and Master’s in Visual Arts with different specializations. The Programsare based on integrated contemporary design thinking, techniques and materials with traditional sensibilities. During the programs, students develop a conceptual approach alongside a practical understanding of the materials and processes adopted by small and large manufacturer’s designers and artists.

The program curriculum reflects the transition from a closely supervised skill based, first year, to an experimental, exploratory approach in the second year, and in the final year, where the student is more self-led with a final major project where students demonstrate their accumulated knowledge, skills and expertise.
