There are some vocational diploma courses also after class X or XII in Interior design and Ceramic design.

Many people who are graduates in other fields can also join Industrial design courses at an advanced level. Graduates in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Electronics, Industrial, Production), Architecture, and Computer Science can join an advanced level course in Product design. Graduates in Engineering (Civil, Mechanical), Architecture, Interior Design, Fine Arts and Applied Arts can join an advanced level course in Furniture Design. Graduates in Fine or Applied Arts, Architecture, Engineering and Ceramic Technology can do an advanced entry program in Ceramic Design.

Des) program of IIT, Mumbai, the M. Des of IIT, Delhi, and the 2 years advanced entry program of NID are some of the most sought after courses.
