Admission Process

The Design Village is a global ecosystem where learners want to learn and facilitators want to share their lived experiences. TDV thrives on curious and ambitious people who align with the village and are passionate about what they do.

TDV through its entrance exam wants motivated individuals with the potential to be future designers, people whose curiosity makes them aware of their surroundings and the ones who can take responsibility for their actions.

The examination process consists of a written exam/design test followed by a personal interview. Please scroll through to understand the components of the written exam.

Visualise in Space

The section tests the candidates with realistic yet hypothetical scenarios that they build around the prompts. It assesses the observation of a student toward the objects around us that we often overlook and how they function in a space, whether through displacement, projectile, remodelling or changing the point of impact.

How well a person can visualise an object through their drawings while keeping in mind the form, texture, proportions etc in 3-dimensional space is primary here. The physics of an object such as pull, fall, twist, break, splash, etc., and the level of investigation or curiosity with which one has comprehended the question are interesting components of this section.

The context in which one has placed the object while still keeping it in focus also matters immensely.

Communicate Through Visuals

The potential to communicate an idea with the freedom of using any media available to a candidate is primary in this section. It could be paints, microns, markers, scrap materials such as old clothes, magazines, newspapers, posters, old labels and packaging along with basic stationery etc.

The test focuses on surfacing the inventive / experimental / imaginative and artistic capabilities of the candidate by putting them into a time-bound situation and indulging their minds to compose something meaningful.

Composition, imagination, courage, perseverance to explore the question, articulation in words and the ability to manipulate the materials and media to represent the mind are all being evaluated here.

Position Yourself

Potential for compassion while at the same time, courage to build an argument and support it with logic and rationale is of essence in this section.

  • Developing an argument or perspective of an issue that is backed with facts.
  • Reflecting your true personality through your response.
  • How well one uses the medium being offered.

Be Aware

How one combines new information with the existing awareness that one has, about the world, to build a narrative is being evaluated here.

A candidate will display their ability to make correlations out of the information provided and the ability to use the medium creatively. The perseverance to delve deeper into research to get suitable information will be beneficial here.

The information and the prompt could be based on everyday lives or even the currently common global issues. It would depend on a candidate’s ability, awareness and curiosity to comprehend the prompt enough in order to build the story that they want to.

Tell Us Who You Are (Personal Interview)

A brief discussion with the interviewer about personal goals, aspirations, opinions and ideologies so that the entrant’s alignment with design and TDV could be understood.
