    Hello,

    The main difference between a Bachelor of Design (B.Des) in interior design and a B.Sc in interior design is that a B.Des focuses on creativity and aesthetics, while a B.Sc focuses on technical aspects:
    • B.Des: Focuses on creativity, design principles, and aesthetics.
    • B.Sc: Focuses on technical aspects, lighting designs, and sustainable practices. 
       
    LPUNEST is a national-level entrance and scholarship test for undergraduate and postgraduate programs at Lovely Professional University (LPU). It's mandatory for most programs as both an eligibility and scholarship test, but for some programs it's only a scho

    The interior and furniture design B.Design and B.Sc. programs differ slightly. The main way it differs is in the length of the program.
    It is up to the student whether they want to follow a four-year B.Design degree or a three-year B.Sc. program; in the former case, the fourth year is mostly focused on coursework.
    If you meet the qualifying requirements, which include having 60% in 10+2 and English, you may apply online for admission. Completing this requirement will help you get a place in LPU's design track. In this instance, LPUNEST serves as a scholarship criterion that lowers the program cost.
