The momentum of IndiaSkills 2026 continued its sweep across the country, and once again, the leadership of Chandigarh Design School (CDS) was at the center of the action. We are proud to announce that our Director, Vineet Raj Kapoor, was officially appointed as the Chief Expert for Industrial Design Technology (IDT) for the IndiaSkills East Regionals.
This appointment further solidifies the CDS brand as a national pillar for high-end technical skills. From the creative hubs of the North to the innovative landscapes of the East, our leadership continues to define the benchmarks for the next generation of Indian designers.
Maintaining the National Benchmark in the East
Industrial Design Technology is a sophisticated category that demands a perfect marriage of form and function. As Chief Expert, Vineet Raj Kapoor’s mission in the East Regionals was to ensure that the competition maintained the same rigorous WorldSkills international standards seen across the globe.
Key focus areas during the East Regionals included:

Technical Auditing: Overseeing the CAD (Computer-Aided Design) workflows to ensure precision in 3D modeling.
-
Innovation Evaluation: Judging how effectively competitors solved real-world ergonomic and manufacturing challenges.
-
Standardizing the Podium: Ensuring that only the most technically proficient talent from the Eastern states advanced to the National Finals.
The “Expert-Led” Advantage at CDS
At CDS, we often say that our students are “trained by the people who write the rules.” This isn’t just a slogan—it’s a reality. When the person leading the national evaluation for Industrial Design is the same person overseeing your curriculum, you gain an unparalleled advantage.
Our students in Chandigarh benefit daily from the insights Vineet Raj Kapoor brings back from these regional rounds. They learn:
-
What the Jury looks for: Understanding the specific marking criteria that separate a participant from a winner.
-
The “Winning” Workflow: Adopting the high-speed, high-accuracy habits required for national success.
