Voices of the Batch of 2026: Students Share Their Experience at Desizn Circle International

The Batch of 2026 has been an exciting and successful year for , with many students securing admissions and strong ranks across leading design, fashion and interdisciplinary institutions in India.

Among them, a group of students chose to share their personal experiences through testimonial videos — speaking about their preparation journey, mentorship, learning environment and their time at Desizn Circle International.

These testimonials do not represent the entire list of successful students from the batch, but they offer a meaningful glimpse into the experiences of students who went on to institutions such as NIFT, NID, IIT, IDC, CEPT and BITS Design School.

The students who shared their journey include Aadhya Singh, Arshita Chakroborty, Jai Parwal, Manya Bansal, Misbah Naaz, Siddhima Sharma, Sunyansh Thapa, Vanshika Gupta and Yuvani Madan, who secured admission to NIFT New Delhi.

Rennae Chatterjee joined NIFT Bengaluru, while Anohita Chaudhary and Mahak Aggarwal progressed to NID Gandhinagar.

The batch also saw students move into highly competitive interdisciplinary programmes. Drishti Soni secured admission to IDC School of Design, IIT Bombay, while Agastya Trikha secured admission to IIT Delhi and also achieved AIR 10 in NIFT.

Naman Chaturvedi achieved an outstanding AIR 1 in the General Category for NIFT B.F.Tech, alongside his admission journey with CEPT. Saanvi Manglik moved forward to BITS Design School, Mumbai.

Through their testimonial videos, these students reflected on different aspects of their preparation — from developing ideas and improving creative thinking to understanding entrance examinations, handling mock tests, building confidence and learning through regular feedback.

A recurring part of the Desizn Circle approach is to encourage students to think independently rather than follow fixed solutions. Preparation is designed around observation, problem-solving, experimentation, visual communication, portfolio development and examination strategy.

Every student approaches design differently, and the objective is not to make everyone think or create in the same way. Instead, the mentoring process focuses on identifying individual strengths and helping students communicate their ideas with greater clarity and confidence.

For aspiring students, these testimonial videos offer something beyond ranks and results. They provide a first-hand perspective of what the preparation journey can look like — including the challenges, improvement, practice and creative growth that happen before the final admission result.

Desizn Circle International is proud of the achievements of the entire Batch of 2026, including the many students who successfully secured admissions across different institutions.

We are especially grateful to the students who took the time to share their experiences and give future aspirants an insight into their journey.

Their results mark an important milestone — but also the beginning of the next stage of their creative education.
