The momentum at Chandigarh Design School (CDS) continues to build as we welcome the next wave of elite talent. Following their stellar performance at the regional rounds, the National Qualifiers from Maharashtra have officially arrived at our Chandigarh campus to begin their high-intensity, advanced indiaskill national training residency.
As one of the most industrially and creatively advanced states, Maharashtra has produced a formidable group of competitors. Their choice to complete their “Road to Nationals” journey at CDS reinforces our brand as the ultimate training ground for India’s future design leaders.
Advanced Training for a Competitive Edge
The Maharashtra delegation is here for more than just practice; they are here for the CDS Advanced Training Model (powered by SXILL). This specialized residency focuses on the granular technicalities that separate a participant from a podium finisher.
Key Training Areas for the Maharashtra Cohort:
-
3D Digital Game Art (3DDGA): Mastering the technical asset pipeline, from high-poly sculpting to game-engine optimization.
-
Digital Interactive Media Design (DIMD): Deep-diving into user-centric logic, accessibility standards, and high-fidelity prototyping.
-
Performance Benchmarking: Our trainees undergo rigorous daily evaluations based on the international WorldSkills marking scheme to ensure no point is left on the table.
The Power of the CDS Ecosystem
Hosting champions from across India—now including the powerhouse state of Maharashtra—creates an environment of unparalleled creative energy. At CDS, these students gain:
-
Elite Infrastructure: Access to high-end rendering workstations and dedicated design studios.
-
Jury-Level Mentorship: Daily interactions with Vineet Raj Kapoor and our expert faculty who understand the “Winning Blueprint” of the Indiaskills National Finals.
-
A Culture of Excellence: Working alongside the “Tamil Nadu Titans” and other state champions, fostering a healthy, high-stakes competitive spirit.
A Vision of National Dominance
“Hosting the Maharashtra qualifiers is a proud moment for the CDS brand,” says Vineet Raj Kapoor, Director of CDS. “Maharashtra has always been a tough competitor, and by bringing them into our ecosystem, we are helping them polish their raw talent into world-class expertise. We are building a national community of designers who are ready to take on the world.”
The labs are full, the lights are on late into the night, and the focus is absolute. The journey from Mumbai to Chandigarh is the final step toward the National stage.
