At INSD Pune, we are driven by a commitment to excellence and holistic development in the field of design education. Our approach to nurturing future designers goes beyond traditional teaching methods; it’s about creating a learning environment that not only imparts knowledge but also builds character, confidence, and resilience.
The Philosophy Behind Our Approach
Our belief in rigorous and dynamic education stems from the need to prepare students for the ever-evolving design industry. In a field where trends and standards are constantly shifting, it’s crucial for our students to stay ahead of the curve. This is where our External Juries play a pivotal role. Held every semester before the term-end exams, these juries serve as an external benchmark for assessing student performance.
Why External Juries Matter
External Juries are instrumental for several reasons:
- Objective Assessment: By involving industry experts, we ensure that assessments are fair and merit-based. This external validation of student work helps in maintaining high educational standards and aligns learning outcomes with industry expectations.
- Industry Insights: Jurors provide valuable feedback on current trends and industry standards, keeping students informed and relevant in their field.
- Building Confidence: Facing external jurors helps students become more resilient and better at handling criticism, an essential skill for any designer.
- Motivation and Excellence: Constructive feedback encourages students to strive for excellence and fosters a culture of continuous improvement.
Celebrating Achievements: Anuranj
‘Anuranj,’ our Annual Day Felicitation and Awards Ceremony, is a cornerstone event that epitomizes our commitment to recognizing and celebrating exceptional contributions within our community. This event is more than just a ceremony; it’s a celebration of hard work, dedication, and the collective spirit of INSD.
The Significance of ‘Anuranj’
- Recognition and Motivation: We honour team members who have gone above and beyond their roles, as well as students who have demonstrated outstanding dedication and creativity. Awards like the “Student of the Year” not only recognize individual excellence but also motivate others to engage actively and excel in their studies.
- Strengthening Bonds: Beyond awards, ‘Anuranj’ includes performances by students, which help build camaraderie and strengthen relationships within our community.
- Boosting Morale: This annual event is a powerful morale booster, reinforcing the values of hard work and excellence while fostering a sense of pride and belonging among students and staff.
Conclusion
At INSD Pune, our focus is on delivering the best design education while fostering the overall development of our students. Our practices, including the External Juries and the ‘Anuranj’ celebration, are designed to ensure that our students not only gain academic knowledge but also develop the skills and confidence needed to excel in the real world. Through these initiatives, we aim to create a nurturing environment that champions excellence and personal growth, preparing our students to become leaders in the design industry.
