At Mantra Academy, you will learn design skills in a short amount of time through intensive training. Mantra Academy has a team of industry-leading designers and trainers who have decades of experience in automotive, product, and UX design. These experts are handpicked for their ability to teach you the skills that you need to succeed in your career.
Our training is what the industry wants from a designer. Our curriculum is the closest you will find in India that caters to how a designer works in the industry. We are not a college, so it means everyone gets individual attention. The trainers don't give lectures; they train you through demos, workshops, and masterclasses..
The trainers at Mantra Academy are practicing designers with decades of experience in Automotive, Product, and UX Design. They are also experts at guiding students through the process of learning design principles and practices..
We only offer a 9-month program, not affiliated with any university. Instead, we are a private training academy. We don't offer degree programs to issue degree certificates. Upon course completion, a candidate must clear all tests and submit the project files to receive the course completion certificate from Mantra academy.
Consider the Automotive Design & Research course if you're interested in becoming a creative designer. This course covers various topics, including research, ideation, sketching, surfacing, photo-realistic renderings, VR modeling, and clay modeling. If you want to work as an automotive digital designer/sculptor, apply to the Automotive Digital Design program.
The fundamental difference between these two courses is that the automotive digital design course only focuses on imparting advanced digital design skills. On the other hand, the automotive design and research course provide end-to-end training, from sketching to clay.
"Power to Create" is the Mantra at Mantra Academy. So doing is more important than just studying when it comes to design. Practice is the key to learning at every stage. We don't train through lectures but through demos, masterclasses, and workshops. Designing means multiple iterations, where learning from feedback from the experts is essential.
Yes, of course! We are happy to connect you with our alumni. You can find them on social media such as 'LinkedIn', 'Instagram', and 'FaceBook'. You can also check out our 'Reviews' page [www.mantraacademy.com/reviews], where you will find the social profile of some of our alumni.
Automotive Digital Designers create accurate digital models from sketches to computer-aided surfaces (CAS) or Class-A surfacing. Apply for the automotive digital design course if you want to make a career in automotive digital sculpting.
The Automotive Design and Research course at Mantra Academy is for individuals interested in pursuing advanced degrees in automotive design from a national or international university or working for automotive design startups, preferably EV startups.
It's important that you ask this question, but there is no definitive way to see if you can excel as a designer until you learn the skills and make an effort to design. A dedicated timeframe and the right mentorship will enable you to acquire the skills. Once you develop the skills, you must put your thoughts into ideas and then ideas into conceivable design concepts. While working at it, you will realize if designing can be your career option. But to start with, you must be passionate and excited about designing; else no point in proceeding further.
Higher education in design requires extensive training in all aspects of automotive design. Hands-on experience with sketching, ideation techniques, concept generation, 2D renderings, 3D surfacing, photo-realistic renderings, UI/UX, and portfolio preparation is essential. The above skills can be learned from the Automotive Design & Research course. Visit www.mantraacademy.com/courses for more information.
You must work at least 8 to 10 hours in our studio during training. The work doesn't need to be taken home because you need good sleep for the next day's work. It takes time to learn how to design. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Yes. You need to carry your laptop because all data about your project must remain on your machine. Sharing design or digital data among the participants during training is not permitted.
Yes, there is a scholarship available for students with exceptional creative works. To apply for the scholarship, you must notify the student counselor at counselor@mantraacademy.com with your portfolio and the application form.
No, we do not provide accommodation. But we are located in a neighborhood filled with educational institutions, so finding a paying guest (PG) or independent house would be super easy.
Car designers are typically required to have a bachelor's or master's degree in automotive design, with a portfolio showcasing their skills in various projects and design tools. A car designer needs to be a problem solver. They need to be able to take a complex problem and break it down into manageable steps, then design solutions.
It is possible to learn automotive design if you are interested. It doesn't matter if you don't have a background in engineering or are from another field entirely. As long as you put in the effort and are
passionate about automotive design, you will be able to learn it.
The answer is a resounding "yes." With the electrification of vehicles, autonomous, AI-driven
technologies are expanding, and so is the demand for transportation designers. The future of automobile design is inextricably linked with the future of transportation. The
transition to electric vehicles has already begun and will continue to accelerate over the next decade. In addition, as new powertrains enter the market, they will require new designs to
accommodate them. AI-driven technologies like self-driving cars and connected vehicles are also expanding rapidly. As these technologies become more widespread, there will be an increased demand for transportation designers who can develop new systems that integrate these features into cars and trucks.
The best way to learn car design is to enroll in a reputable automotive design school and work on internship projects under expert designers. This process will give you a thorough understanding of the car-design process and allow you to
network with other designers who can help guide you through your career.
A car designer's salary depends on many factors. For example, the type of company they work for, location, position, and many other factors affect what a car designer might make. The most crucial factor in determining how much a car designer will make is the area of
specialization. But, in addition to domain, there are also regional differences. For example, it may be easier in some countries to find higher-paying work than in others.
Finally, the amount of experience you have as a car designer can also affect your salary. Generally speaking, the longer you've been doing this work, the higher you should expect to earn.
It's a common question and one that's often asked by people considering a career in automotive design.
The short answer is that car designers make a lot of money. But it's important to remember that "lot" is a relative term.
It would be difficult to prove how much more money is earned, especially compared to other fields. But if you're motivated by salary alone, then it may not be the right career path for you. For example, suppose you feel money is the only criterion when choosing a career path. In that case, it might be best to look into other related fields such as business management or investment banking.
Having said that, if you enjoy designing things that people will see daily (and use!). Then there are many reasons why a career in automotive design could be right for you!
This strategic alliance benefits the candidates pursuing automotive design training at Mantra academy. The partnership is to impart workshops/demos/masterclasses under the theme Sketch2Clay, providing end-to-end training at all stages of automotive design.
The workshops will be conducted by experts from both organizations, who will guide the students
through different stages of the process and help them develop into better designers.
Students will be able to learn about various design processes and tools used in automotive design
through this unique collaboration. In addition, this will help them gain practical knowledge of how these tools are used in real-life situations.
The new curriculum includes Clay modeling, UI/UX (console design), VR (design evaluation), and, most importantly, industry mentorship through collaboration with Ultraviolette automotive. In addition, the training period has been extended from 6 to 9 months. In addition, there is a group project at the end.
Admission to Mantra academy is through a selection process. First, you must apply online on our website - www.mantraacademy.com/registration. Then you will be called for a selection interview at our design studio in Bangalore. Admission to the course is based on the candidate's performance in the selection interview. We only admit 14 candidates in a batch.
The selection interview assesses a candidate's interests, motivations, and ability to perform under high-pressure training at Mantra academy. We love seeing any creative work an applicant brings
during the selection round.
After completing the course, we assist candidates in finding internship positions with OEMs, service companies, or startups. We cannot guarantee 100% placement for enrolled candidates because it depends on several factors, including the economy, a candidate's performance in an interview, etc. However, you will have a portfolio showcasing your design skills upon successful completion. We will support your placements until you find employment. Visit the Reviews page to learn more about where our alumni work.
All our training programs are full-time; there is no part-time training. Also, once a batch is started, all our focus is on that batch until they complete the course. So we don't run parallel batches.
