Testimonials

Asmita V
UI Developer with a Fintech company

I enrolled myself in IIT Delhi's Certificate Programme in Design Thinking for User Experience because my Computer Science Engineering programme did not provide me with a chance to dive deeply into the UX domain. For a beginner, this course gave me an in-depth knowledge of the steps involved in design thinking from beginning to end. As a result of iterative thinking and implementing feedback, I learned a lot. There were quite a few topics covered, and the assignments associated with each topic were quite helpful.

Rahul Mondal
Senior Visual Designer, HighRadius

I started my career as a motion graphic designer. Over the past five years, I have worked with RedBull, HackerRank, Deloitte, SAIL, etc. Before enrolling in the programme, I generally did not pay attention to the needs and requirements of users, nor did I have a proper understanding of UI and UX. My goal was to focus on UX and build a strong foundation and hence, I enrolled in IIT Delhi’s Certificate Programme in Design Thinking for User Experience. The best part of this course was to work with my team members and as a side benefit, we had the privilege of working on a challenging topic which was Food Waste Management in India.
