Interior Designing

Interior design plans spaces inside buildings that are useful, healthy and beautiful for the people using them. Courses take students after Class 12 through entrance tests, some from any stream and some from Science, and it leads to work with architects, builders, hotel chains, hospitals, exhibition organisers or a business of one's own.
