A one-year immersive programme where you learn design by transforming real homes, shops, streets, schools and public spaces — side by side with master designers and municipal authorities. No theory. Only transformation.
At MIB Design Academy, your classroom is a construction site. Your teachers are working designers. Your results are visible on streets, in homes, in the communities you touch. You are not just learning a profession — you are becoming part of India's largest design movement.
Mission India Beautification was founded on a singular belief: that thoughtful design can change the way people live, think and feel. The Academy was created to put that belief in the hands of the next generation — passionate, courageous designers who want to build something real.
Every lesson happens on an active transformation site. You measure, plan, execute and witness change with your own hands.
You work with industry-grade equipment, digital design tools and emerging technologies from Day 1 — not the last week of a course.
Your projects contribute to Mission India Beautification's national mission. Your work appears in real cities, real neighbourhoods.
Interact directly with great designers, architects, urban planners and municipal planning authorities. Network that matters.
MIB Academy students work across 8 distinct space typologies over the course of one year. This breadth makes you a complete designer — capable of transforming any environment, not just a single niche.
The MIB Academy curriculum is structured around real-world project phases. Each module is delivered on active project sites, progressing from fundamentals to full independent project leadership. Duration: 12 months. Commencement: Batch basis.
MIB Academy does not shortlist based on marks or prior design education. We select based on passion, curiosity, courage and a genuine desire to change how India looks and feels. Here is what we look for.
You must demonstrate a real, felt love for how spaces look, feel and function. This could be through personal projects, photos you've taken, homes you've noticed, or a lifestyle that shows design sensitivity.
Submit any evidence of creative thinking — hand sketches, room rearrangements, DIY projects, Pinterest/mood boards, before-after photos of a space you improved. No prior training needed.
Write 300–500 words on: Which space in India would you most like to transform, and why? How would you do it? This tells us about your vision and your voice.
Site work is physical. You must be willing and able to work on active construction and renovation sites, handle tools and equipment, and work in variable site conditions.
We work in teams with clients, communities and authorities. You must show an ability to listen, communicate and collaborate — even with people very different from yourself.
All applicants must be at least 18 years of age at the time of programme commencement. No prior design degree or qualification is required.
Complete the application form below. Upload your creative portfolio (any format) and write your Personal Statement of Intent. No application fee.
Our selection committee reviews your application and creative evidence. We look for passion and potential — not polish or prior training.
Shortlisted candidates are invited for a 30-minute in-person or video conversation. We talk about a space you love, a transformation you imagine, and what design means to you.
Final candidates are invited to spend half a day on a live MIB project site. This is not an exam — it is an experience. We want to see how you observe, engage and respond.
Selected candidates receive a formal offer letter. Enrolment is confirmed upon receipt of the initial programme fee instalment.
Full access to all live project sites, tools, equipment and materials used during the programme.
AutoCAD, SketchUp, rendering tools and digital design platforms — all included in the programme.
