Attracted towards Kinder Joy Toys, I would like to learn toy designing and making and want to choose career in it, can you please suggest me.

Dear student,

To be able to design toys like Kinder Joy, you should have a Bachelor's Degree in Design(B.Des). After 12th, try to go for programmes specialising in Product Design, Industrial Design, Toy Design (if available, though rare in India specifically for toys), or even related fields like Fashion Design (for soft toys) or Graphics Design (for character development). Some good design institutes in India include:

• National Institute of Design (NID) - Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Bengaluru
• National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) - Various campuses
• Srishti Manipal Institute of Art, Design and Technology - Bengaluru
• Pearl Academy - Various campuses
• World University of Design (WUD) - Sonipat (near Gurugram)

Diploma Courses: You can also consider pursuing diploma courses in product design or related areas to build a foundation, if a full felged B.Des is not possible at the moment.
