Course Overview

TechCadd's Graphic Designing in Amritsar is aimed at students who have just finished 12th — whatever they have or have not done before. The early modules cover Design Principles, Typography and Colour & Composition, so nothing later assumes knowledge you were never given. From there you take on Photoshop for Designers and Vector Work in Illustrator. The second half is where it turns practical: you work in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Figma, Canva and CorelDRAW the way a team actually does, against briefs that carry a real deadline. Each module ends in something you have built and a trainer has reviewed, so you finish with a portfolio, a CV built around it and interview practice for Graphic Designer, Junior Visual Designer and DTP Operator roles.

What the Graphic Designing programme actually covers

What the Graphic Designing programme actually covers

Design is a craft judged on output, so the course runs on briefs and critique from week two — software training alone produces operators, not designers.

The graphic designing programme runs across 6 months at TechCadd Amritsar and is built for students who have just finished school — no degree, no prior experience and no coding background assumed. Two hours a day, five days a week, in batches small enough that your work is looked at individually.

You can take it as a standalone career course, run it alongside a degree in the evening or weekend batch, or use it to fill a drop year with something a recruiter will actually read. Whichever route you take, the finish line is the same: a certificate, 3 reviewed projects and a portfolio you can talk through in an interview.

  • 12th pass, any stream, and no entrance test
  • Every concept is built before it is examined
  • Mentors are working practitioners, not career trainers
  • Lab access and doubt sessions outside batch hours

Design Principles

Design Principles is where the Graphic Designing track gets its footing. You work the concepts in the lab first, then carry them straight into the running project rather than leaving them as isolated exercises.

Skills you build

  • Hierarchy and balance
  • Grids and alignment
  • Whitespace as a tool

Eligibility

Four kinds of people join this batch. You are probably one of them.

Who this course is for

There is no entrance test and no prerequisite degree. What the programme does assume is that you will show up for the full 6 months and do the project work.

01No experience needed

Straight out of 12th

The programme assumes nothing beyond a 12th pass and comfort with a computer. You start at the actual beginning of graphic designing, and by month three you are working on a brief rather than an exercise.

02Evening & weekend

Studying alongside a degree

Two hours a day fits either side of a college timetable. You graduate with a graphic designing portfolio already built instead of starting one after your final semester.

03Fills the year

Taking a drop or gap year

An empty year reads badly on a CV. A certificate, 3 reviewed projects and an internship letter turn it into something you can explain in an interview.

04Applies immediately

Joining a family business

Bring the business you already know and layer graphic designing onto it. Students in this group usually apply the first two modules inside their own shop or unit before the course has ended.

Future scope

Where graphic designing is headed from here

Where graphic designing is headed from here

A certificate answers what you can do today. This is the honest answer to what graphic designing looks like three to five years out, and why the fundamentals this course spends real time on are what carry you there.

  • Demand is structural, not seasonalEvery brand, product and platform now needs a constant stream of visual and video content, and the studios producing it are hiring faster than they can train people internally.
  • The skill ladder keeps climbingGraphic Designer is the entry rung, not the ceiling. Once that portfolio is in place, junior visual designer is the realistic next step — a promotion earned on the job, not a second course you have to go back and pay for.
  • Tooling changes; fundamentals compoundPhotoshop and the rest of the stack will look different in five years — they always do. What does not expire is the fundamentals this course is built around, which is why the syllabus is reviewed each intake instead of frozen once and reused.
  • Remote and hybrid widen the marketA graphic designing portfolio built in Amritsar competes for the same remote and hybrid roles as anywhere else. Companies hiring for this work are increasingly indifferent to which city the offer letter is posted to.
What you walk away with

The 6 months programme is built around the part that is genuinely in your hands — and you leave holding all of it.

A reviewed portfolio, an industry-recognised certificate and a fundamentals-first foundation you can keep building on. Markets move, as they always have; that foundation is exactly what lets you move with them as design and media work around you keeps shifting.

Why choose Graphic Designing

Why students choose techcadd

Why students choose techcadd

Two decades of training in Amritsar, in a format that has not changed since: small batches, real projects, mentors who still work in the field.

  • 01

    Practitioner-led teaching

    Your mentor works in graphic designing for a living. The examples in class come from that work, and so do the shortcuts.

  • 02

    Small, fixed batches

    Batch sizes are capped so a raised hand gets answered in the session it was raised in, not weeks later.

  • 03

    Reviewed, not marked

    Every submission comes back annotated, line by line. The notes are the point — they are what you carry into the interview.

  • 04

    Current tooling

    We teach Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and refresh the list each intake, because a stale stack is worse than no stack.

  • 05

    Flexible batches

    Morning, evening and weekend tracks, classroom or live online, with recordings either way for revision.

  • 06

    Support that continues

    Resume and portfolio review, mock interviews and hiring-drive access — and it does not stop the day the course ends.

I joined the Graphic Designing batch with almost no background, and what made the difference was that design principles was taught by building rather than by slides. By the third week I was debugging my own code instead of copying someone else's.
Aditya VermaGraphic Designer, Chandigarh
The project reviews are the real value. My print campaign set was picked apart line by line, and those notes are exactly what I ended up talking through in the interview that got me a junior visual designer offer.
Rajiv MalhotraJunior Visual Designer, Gurugram
Weekend batches meant I kept my job through the whole 6 months. Anything I missed got re-explained without fuss, and lab access outside batch hours was never a problem.
Ishita SharmaDTP Operator, Pune
Illustrator and the rest of the stack were set up on day one, so no week went into environment issues. Batches are small enough that a doubt gets answered the same day instead of piling up.
Sahil AroraBrand Design Assistant, Delhi
I had tried learning graphic designing on my own twice and stalled both times. A fixed batch in Amritsar, a mentor who checks your work and a deadline on every module is the only reason I finished.
Simranjeet KaurFreelance Designer, Amritsar
Placement support was not just a line on the brochure — resume and portfolio review, two mock interviews with people who do the job, and a referral into one of the hiring drives.
Manpreet KaurGraphic Designer, Ludhiana
The syllabus is current. We worked in Google Fonts rather than the older tooling most graphic designing syllabi around here still teach, and that came up directly in my first interview.
Gurpreet SinghJunior Visual Designer, Bengaluru
The balance of theory to lab time is about right: enough to understand why something works, then straight into building. I left with 3 projects I can demo, not just a certificate.
Karanveer BrarDTP Operator, Mohali
