What PG course should I do after BE? I am interested in design. I am a final year student of BE (mechanical).

You are eligible for NIFT M.Des course next year. The nature of fashion has evolved beyond its association with apparel, to become multi-disciplinary and multi-dimensional. Its approach to various concepts, material, technology, craftsmanship, culture, business, economics, promotion, consumption and innovation now tends to creating unexplored areas that present immense scope for study and research. Master of Design degree caters to this multi-disciplinary and dynamic nature of job profiles that seek professionals who can work in versatile environments. Research is one of the tools that empower one to take up challenges, which may emerge in contemporary complex systems. Therefore, this course builds its specializations based on the foundation of design thinking and research practice. Students are provided with options for forming their own Career Pathways to create new avenues from varied areas of interest. The unique aptitude and ability of each student is recognised and honed through specialised training and skill development during the course of two years. Students from different disciplines provide multi-dimensional and innovative thought construct for providing critical and creative solutions to future problems.

You could try for M.Des in industrial design or product design courses available in IIT and NID for which you need to appear for CEED exam and qualify. Also, you might need a portfolio as well.

Well, it is nice to go for higher study. Since, you are a mechanical engineer and interested in design, you can go for software course as well as hardware course. As you are interested in designing, you can opt for software design especially in designing stream. I suggest you to take software designing courses like solid works, CATIA , pro-e, ANSYS etc. In another case, you can also go for management courses like lean management, sigx sigma belt courses, total quality management and the list goes on. You can also take linear modelling, non-linear modelling, piping design, control valve sizing etc. Since, mechanical is the vast stream in engineering, you make your way of classification broader from automobile engineering, production engineering, manufacturing engineering, marine engineering, aeronautical engineering, aerospace engineering, avionics engineering, automotive engineering etc. There are many specialized courses in every field. A mechanical engineer can choose any course where his/her interest is being focused. Hence, you can join any course of your interest. All the best for future.
