Overview

About Whistling Woods International Bengaluru

Whistling Woods International is a design college in Mumbai, Maharashtra, established in 2006. Whistling Woods International is privately managed and self-financing. It is affiliated to Tata Institute of Social Sciences. Whistling Woods International offers 4 programmes at undergraduate level. They are BDes in Game Design, BDes in Animation, BDes in Visual Communication Design and BDes in Fashion Design. The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 50 seats. Whistling Woods International is listed in Mumbai, Maharashtra; the input state 'Karnataka' conflicts with the official campus location and should be corrected. For the 2026 intake, the official page identifies a 4-year, 8-semester BDes in Visual Communication Design with 50 seats, awarded by Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), a deemed-to-be university. Eligibility is 10+2 or equivalent; selection uses MECAT, CAT plus submission, SOP and personal interview. The official site states the School of Design is associated with TISS and describes UGC/AICTE recognition, but no current campus-specific faculty totals, principal, attendance rule, research metrics, or laboratory count were published in the reviewed official sources. The official fee policy and programme page also note ongoing Filmcity-campus litigation and continued operation under interim court relief. The input state is incorrect: official address identifies Maharashtra, not Karnataka. WWI is a private creative-arts institute founded by Subhash Ghai in 2006; its design school launched in 2017. The 2026 BDes Visual Communication Design page states 50 seats, 10+2 eligibility, and selection through MECAT, CAT/submission, SOP and personal interview. WWI says its degree programmes are offered in association with and awarded by TISS. The official 2026 fee policy notes ongoing Filmcity-campus litigation and interim orders permitting educational operations; long-term lease finalization remains in progress.
