Overview
About Acharya School of Design
Acharya School of Design is a design college in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Acharya School of Design is privately managed and self-financing. It is affiliated to Bengaluru City University. Acharya School of Design offers 5 programmes at undergraduate level. They are B V a. / B.Des in Graphic & Communication Design, B V a. / B.Des in Interior & Spatial Design, B V a. / B.Des in Animation & Game Art, B V a. / B.Des in Product Design and B.Sc in Fashion and Apparel Design. As of the 2026-27 target cycle, official ASD pages identify the institution in Soladevanahalli, Bengaluru, as affiliated with Bangalore City University and offering four BVA visual-arts programmes: Graphic & Communication Design, Animation & Game Art, Interior & Spatial Design, and Product Design. The attendance rule and semester context are from the available 2022-23 NEP BVA syllabus and may be historical rather than a confirmed 2026-27 regulation. The dated quality-assurance PDF names Prof. Ramesh Narayana Rao as principal as of 16 March 2023; it does not state his qualification. No campus-specific faculty total, PhD count, student-faculty ratio, patents count, recognised PhD centre, or numeric research output was published in the reviewed official material. Parent hospital is not applicable to this design institution. The official site lists professional-organisation networks including ABAI, KAVGC, ADI, InDeAs, CCI, IIID and ICCR, but does not provide cycle-dated MoU details. The cited Bengaluru City University PDF is a 2025-26 document, not 2026-27. It names Acharya School of Design, Soladevanahalli, but the listed sanctioned programmes/intakes are B.Com General (100), BCA (225) and B.Sc Computer Science/Mathematics/Physics (60), not the design programmes. No official 2026-27 university affiliation list, design seat matrix or current-year sanctioned intake was located in the reviewed evidence; therefore 2026-27 continuity and intake are not asserted. The college website currently describes BVA/B.Des programmes in Graphic & Communication Design, Animation & Game Art, Interior & Spatial Design and Product Design and states affiliation/approval by Bengaluru City University. Individual course pages also contain an undated conflicting template reference to Bangalore University; this is retained as an unresolved page inconsistency rather than silently resolved.

Fee details pending confirmation
No official numeric 2026-27 programme fee schedule was published in the reviewed ASD material. Official programme pages state: “Refer offer letter for actual fee.” For B.Sc Fashion & Apparel Design, the stated inclusions are tuition, university registration, eligibility, miscellaneous, laboratory, library and sports fees; uniform/stationery and university/board examination fees are excluded. The official ASD pre-arrival guide publishes AY'26 hostel room-category charges, subject to confirmation in the offer letter. ASD lists B.V.A/B.Des programmes in Graphic & Communication Design, Animation & Game Art, Interior & Spatial Design and Product Design, plus B.Sc Fashion & Apparel Design; the design degree pages identify Bangalore City University affiliation. Generic scholarship wording is recorded separately and is not treated as a guaranteed award.
