Amravati (also spelled Amaravati), the second - largest city in Maharashtra's Vidarbha region, has a genuinely small Interior Designing education landscape. Note: like Fashion Designing, Interior Design specifically is a thin category here - multiple aggregator sources independently report only 1 - 2 colleges in the city, distinct from the broader Design category. After checking directly, five institutions in and around Amravati offer genuine, verifiable Interior Design programmes at varying levels (B.Des, B.Voc, and Diploma); this list sticks to those five rather than padding with unrelated general Design or Fine Arts colleges.
The best Interior Designing colleges in Amravati are Masane Patil Institute of Technology (the only college in the city offering a full B.Des in Interior Design, private, admission based on Class 10/12 marks), Cadence Academy (established 2002, private, affiliated with Himalayan University, Itanagar, offers a 3 - year B.Voc in Interior Design plus M.Voc and Advanced Diploma options, well - equipped studio facilities), P.R. Patil College of Architecture (offers a 3 - year Diploma in Interior Design with 40 seats, AICTE approved, located on Kathora Road), G.H. Raisoni University (cited among the top private Interior Design providers in the city, part of a larger private university with modern infrastructure), and Fashion Glory Institute of Interior Technology and Designing (private, most affordable option, offers a 2 - year Graduate Diploma in Design and a 1 - year Diploma in Interior Design) - operating under Maharashtra state or AICTE recognition, with Masane Patil being the only true degree - level (B.Des) provider among them.
Admission to Interior Designing colleges in Amravati is merit - based on Class 10 or Class 12 marks, without a dedicated national design entrance exam (unlike NIFT/NID/CEPT elsewhere in India) - colleges here admit directly based on academic marks, and in some cases a portfolio review or interview. Minimum eligibility for the B.Des/B.Voc route is Class 12 (any stream) with basic aggregate requirements (typically around 50%); the diploma - level programmes accept candidates straight after Class 10 or Class 12. Programme duration ranges from a 1 - year Diploma up to a 4 - year B.Des, with fees ranging from around ₹25,000 per year (Fashion Glory Institute - most affordable, diploma level) to ₹78,000 - 80,000 per year at the B.Des/B.Voc providers. Total fees for the complete programme in Amravati range from roughly ₹25,000 (1 - year diploma) to over ₹3.1 lakh (4 - year B.Des).
Interior Designing graduates from Amravati's institutes generally pursue roles assisting local architecture and construction firms, furniture and space - planning businesses, or move to larger Maharashtra cities like Nagpur, Pune, or Mumbai for stronger interior - design industry opportunities, since Amravati's own design and real - estate sector is limited compared to metro hubs. Career paths include Junior Interior Designer, Space Planner, CAD Draughtsperson, and Furniture/Furnishing Consultant. Average starting salaries range from ₹1.8 LPA to ₹3.5 LPA locally, with graduates who relocate to bigger design hubs after further training commanding higher packages. Many graduates pursue further specialisation through a PG Diploma in Interior Design or set up independent design consultancy practices locally.
