Is coding taught at IILM, Gurugram if I’m not from a tech background?

Students who benefit the most from this programme are those who:

• Are curious about people and behaviour.

• Are open to discussion and reflection.

• Are willing to read and think regularly.

• Understand that psychology is about patience and depth, not quick answers.

The course balances both theoretical and practical learning. 

Practicality is achieved through:

• Case discussions to understand real psychological situations.

• Assignments that involve observation and analysis.

• Exposure to applied areas like counselling, organisational behaviour, or mental health.

• Discussions around ethics and professional boundaries.

• Internships and industrial exposure

Yes, the curriculum at IILM Gurugram is reviewed and updated periodically for all programs offered. Faculty members incorporate current industry practices, case studies, and contemporary examples into coursework. The university ensures students are learning concepts that are relevant and up-to-date.

Staying back is not mandatory, but many students choose to. Design work needs space and focus, which studios provide better than hostels or homes.

Typically:

• Students stay back during heavy submission weeks.

• Studios are used for printing prep, mock displays, and group discussions.

• Seniors and juniors often overlap in studios, leading to informal learning.

• Faculty may also be available during extended hours before juries.

Attendance in the design department is taken seriously, with the mandate being 75%.

The reason attendance matters more in design is because most learning happens in the studio, not from slides or notes. If you miss a studio class, you miss both content and feedback.

Faculty mark attendance regularly during studio sessions. However, if a student communicates a genuine issue early, faculty are generally understanding.
