Admissions Alert at a Glance

The World University of Design (WUD) has officially opened applications for its 2026-27 admissions cycle, inviting applications for its UG, PG and doctoral design programmes.
The last date to apply for many programmes is listed as 30 December 2025, making this a critical final window for aspirants.
Applicants can apply either via the university’s Aptitude Test (WUDAT) or by leveraging valid national entrance-exam scores (e.g., UCEED/NID/NIFT) for certain programmes.

Step 1: Fill the online application form and pay the prescribed fee.
Step 2: Appear for WUDAT 2026 (or present valid national-level design-exam credentials).
Step 3: Shortlisted candidates attend a campus interview and portfolio review, after which a formal offer of admission is sent.

For UG programmes: Students must have completed their 10 + 2 (or equivalent) in any stream and meet other criteria (for example, a minimum percentage specified for respective courses).
For PG programmes: Applicants should hold a bachelor’s degree with minimum required marks; national entrance-exam qualifers may be preferred.

With the deadline of 30 December 2025 rapidly approaching, aspirants should prioritise their application submission to avoid missing out on admission to one of India’s growing design-focused universities.
Taking part early gives you time to prepare your portfolio, plan for the interview, and secure a seat before late-fee windows or seat scarcity set in.
Since WUD accepts scores from national exams like UCEED/NID/NIFT for certain programmes, verify whether your existing credentials qualify you for direct admission or whether you need to sit WUDAT.
This is an excellent opportunity for 2026-27 batch applicants to secure their pathway into design education—be proactive and treat this as your priority application.

Last date to apply: 30 December 2025 (for many programmes)
