Woxsen University, a prominent private institution known for its focus on new-age education and world-class infrastructure, has announced the opening of Round 2 applications for its highly sought-after Bachelor of Design (B.Des) and Master of Design (M.Des) programs.

With an industry-endorsed curriculum and a strong emphasis on practical learning, the design programs at Woxsen are tailored to produce creative professionals ready to tackle the challenges of the modern design landscape.

The application window for Round 2 is now officially open, and candidates have a limited time to complete their submissions. Aspirants for the B.Des (Hons.) program should note that the application deadline for the August 2025 session is approaching fast, with the last date to apply being August 7, 2025. Similarly, candidates for the M.Des program must also meet this deadline. The university operates on a rolling admissions basis, meaning seats are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and the application window for a particular round may close earlier if all available seats are filled.

Holistic Admission Process

Woxsen University's selection process for its design programs is comprehensive and designed to identify candidates with a strong creative aptitude and a passion for design. The admission is not based solely on entrance exam scores but on a composite evaluation of a candidate's overall profile. The process typically involves three key stages:

1. Application Submission: Candidates must submit a detailed online application form through the official Woxsen University website, woxsen.edu.in. Along with academic details, applicants are also required to submit a Statement of Purpose (SOP) explaining their motivation for pursuing a design program and their career aspirations.
2. Entrance Test: Aspirants must either appear for the Woxsen Design Test (WDT), the university's in-house entrance exam, or submit valid scores from national-level entrance exams such as NID DAT, NIFT, UCEED, or CUET. For candidates applying through CUET, specific domain-specific subjects like Fine Arts or Visual Arts are mandatory.
3. Psychometric Test, Personal Interview & Portfolio Review: Shortlisted candidates will be invited for a final round of assessment. This includes a psychometric test to gauge a candidate's personality and cognitive abilities, followed by a personal interview (PI) where the panel assesses their communication skills, creative thinking, and subject knowledge. A portfolio review is a crucial part of this stage, especially for design programs. A well-curated portfolio showcasing a candidate's skills and thought process can significantly improve their chances of admission.
