Remember this discussion from a couple of years ago? DC College of Automotive Studies

A first in India, it will be offering Automobile-centric education programs in the field of Design Engineering and Management. More details on the college and their courses below.

Postgraduate Program in Automotive Styling
Duration: 2 years

Fees: 7 lakhs per year

Applications for admissions will be accepted in January and July every year. All applicants will have to will have to go through a specially designed entrance test. The student's creative ability will be given importance apart from the test scores obtained in the exam if he has to qualify for admission. The Center will also offer scholarships to talented and needy students.

There will be project work too where the students will be able to build an actual car at the end of the course. The final year project is even more interesting where students will get a chance to work on building an actually prototype right from from the design stages to the full working model.


The Center will also help the freshly graduated students to get internships and look at employment opportunities at the end of their course.

Facilities include a 300 seat auditorium, aesthetically designed studios and classrooms equipped with state-of-the art video projection systems.

As long as DC doesn't force his ideas for styling a car and merely trains students with the tools of the trade, this is welcome.

If students are allowed to think out of the box and do something new, its a good option. if syllabus contains references from DC design, no point in doing this course.

any idea what is the cost of teh course?

Also, there is no correspondence courses available at the college.
Moreover, it would have been good if they could offer select courses from their cirriculam to people who are interested instead of having to take the entire degree.

*Bumping up an old thread*.

Hi guys,

One of my cousins, who is artistically talented and interested in cosmetic modifications on automobiles (cars mainly), would like to take up such an auto-designing course. Going through the DYP-DC's website and trusting DC's brand image, their courses seem promising. But what are the other options we have for similar programmes in India? (or abroad). I'm not sure whether correspondence courses are viable, but do we have anyone else other than DC offering design courses?

There is Raffles Design Institute which you can check out.
They don't have a Automotive styling course but there is this Product Design course which has Transport Design in its curriculum.
Its a 3 yr course with a bachelors degree in design from Raffles, Australia.
Actually I went to the Santacruz branch of raffles last week for the course enquiry. Fees are approx 18 lacs for the entire course.
