Unitedworld Institute of Design does not offer direct admissions. The selection to BDes (Hons) and MDes course is based on UID-DAT scores. Selected candidates are further called for portfolio interview. Further, for management quota, college offers admission based on last qualifying exam score. The college informs the candidates about their selection. Once selected, candidates are required to pay the course fee to confirm their seat in the college.
