Overview

About Pearl Academy Bengaluru

Pearl Academy Bengaluru is a design college in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Pearl Academy Bengaluru is privately managed and self-financing. It is affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development (RGNIYD). Pearl Academy Bengaluru offers 12 programmes, 6 at undergraduate level and 5 at postgraduate level. These include B. Des. in Communication Design, B. Des. in Fashion Communication, B. Des. in Fashion Design, B. Des. in Fashion Styling and B. Des. in Interior Architectural Design, among others. The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 360 seats. Pearl Academy Bengaluru is at No. 31, Residency Road, Bengaluru. The official campus page names Rajesh Mamidala as Regional Campus Director; his listed qualifications are BSc in Microbiology and EGMP in Business Administration. For intakes from 2024 onward, the academy states that undergraduate and postgraduate degrees are enabled by the Creative Arts Education Society (CAES)–RGNIYD MoU. The 2022 and 2023 Bengaluru cohorts instead received a Pearl Academy Professional Diploma and a degree from Bangalore City University (College Code P20GLD0291). The 2026-27 academic calendar is published; no campus-specific faculty totals, medium of instruction, research counts, or principal title were located. The 75% attendance figure is the academy-wide minimum for end-semester assessment; the semester pattern is inferred from that wording. Pearl Academy is a unit of Creative Arts Education Society (CAES). The official campus page states that the 2022 and 2023 cohorts received a Pearl Professional Diploma plus a Bangalore City University degree under college code P20GLD0291; this is historical and limited to those cohorts. From the 2024 intake, the official Pearl and RGNIYD pages state that CAES operates as RGNIYD's implementation partner and RGNIYD degrees are awarded at the Bengaluru campus. The current 2026-27 admissions page is open, but it does not publish a Bengaluru-specific seat intake or campus-specific email.
