        CAR DESIGNING EDUCATION- TO MOVE ON IN LIFE

     Car designing is an inseparable part of the automobile industry. But it is a dream vocation for many, because in order to persue career in this field one has to spend money in lakhs and stay abroad for learning. Now India has made remarkable progress in this field and India has left foot prints in the world of automobiles.
      India has also got some car designing schools. Some of the best schools are DSK-ISD Pune, MAEERS Pune, MIT -Design Institute Pune and NID –National Institution Of Design Ahemdabad. Aspirants should mainly consider the educational environment provided by the school, scope for the practical learning and also the tie up of schools with car producers for recruitment. One more fact to be considered in Student Exchange Programs i.e a program under which students may go to foreign schools to learn and vice versa. The benefit derived from such programs is that the students are provided with an opportunity to learn not only in local environment but also to develop themselves at international level. One noticeable part is that it helps in attracting the international customers/clients.
       Car design is the pinnacle of all designs. The person who wants to be car designer should be thoughtful and experimental by nature, one should be an expert to solve problems and always curious to know how things work out. Above all on should be a good artist. If you have all these features surely you could become an excellent designer. A good car designer initially earns a minimum of $ 60,000 Per annum the earning may go up to $ 120,000 to $ 200,000 as the time passes by. The earnings wholly depend upon the stats of car design. In India a car designer earns about 8 to 12 Lakh on yearly basis.
       The priceless talents of students remain untapped as a result of non-availability of information about car designing. Students due to the persuasion of parents or as a matter of prestige, unwillingly take up Engineering, Medical and Management courses. How can we expect students to show good performance in the field where they are not interested? Aren’t we watching the results of the same?
       Off late the time has changed to some extant. Now days, parents are trying to take care of interests of there wards and providing the opportunity for children in take up the course in which they are interested. It is a welcome development. At the same time some of the students take up those courses for which their friends, classmates apply. Such students also convince their parents on amount of handsome earnings and bright future in such careers. But why do they plunge back after few months?  Such students make self evaluation, find out their hidden talents and set up their career preferences. It’s never too late to extract the hidden talents. Folks, talents are there in everyone naturally by birth only the need is to polish and enhancement. In India many are fidgety to become car designer. But they are frustrated due to non-availability of information, no proper schools etc. The information given here with might well help such aspirants.
       A number of people are still not aware that car designing is part of higher education. There are specific schools who offer courses in car designing. One who learns there has get a future to relish. There are different specializations in engineering like automobile, mechanical, aeronautical etc, in the same way car design is a specialization subject in Transportation design.
