Index Plus 2025: Interior Jediiians Master High-Pressure Compact Living Design Challenge

The world of interior design thrives on creativity, adaptability, and the ability to think on one’s feet. This spirit was perfectly captured at Index Plus 2025, Interior Design Competition, held at Yashobhoomi (IICC), Dwarka, Delhi, where Interior Design students from JD Institute of Fashion Technology excelled in a high-stakes competitive environment. This premier design and interiors showcase provided Jediiians with unprecedented exposure to industry innovation, trends, and talent.

Design Unfolded: The 3-Hour Studio Sprint

The competition challenged students to design a compact living space under unique climate and cultural constraints. With only three hours on the clock, participants were required to think critically, sketch rapidly, and develop layouts that reflected both creativity and functionality.

What made “Design Unfolded” stand out was its real-world approach. Students weren’t just working on theoretical designs, they were responding to practical challenges that designers often face in the industry. From limited space optimization to sustainable material selection, every decision counted.

The event beautifully showcased how design can adapt to different lifestyles, climates, and cultures, proving that creativity truly has no boundaries when guided by thoughtful planning.

Real-World Application and Professional Triumph

JD Institute students participated enthusiastically, translating their academic learning into detailed layouts and innovative concepts under strict timed conditions. The experience was invaluable, allowing them to:

• Develop Quick Problem-Solving Abilities: Learning to make instant, informed design decisions when time is the critical constraint.
• Refine Presentation Skills: Effectively articulating their design philosophy, concept rationale, and solutions to a professional jury of industry experts and experienced design mentors.
• Gain Exposure to Industry Standards: Observing how leading firms approach design briefs, timelines, and material sourcing in a competitive setting.

The success of JD Institute’s participation was officially validated when one of the students secured the 3rd Prize in the highly competitive “Design Unfolded” challenge.

This remarkable achievement stands as a testament to the talent, rigorous training, and dedication of the participants.

Industry Experts and Mentorship

The event was supported by a panel of industry experts, design mentors, and experienced faculty members who evaluated the entries. Their feedback gave students meaningful insights into current market trends and evolving client needs.

The furniture masterclass was another highlight, where professionals demonstrated techniques used in furniture design and fabrication. It was an excellent opportunity for participants to interact directly with experts, understand material behavior, and witness how design ideas transition into real-world prototypes.

Inspiring the Designers of Tomorrow

The participation of JD Institute Interior Design students in Index Plus 2025 stands as a proud testament to their creativity, technical understanding, and innovative thinking.

Winning the 3rd Prize added another feather to the institute’s cap, but the real success lay in the learning, exposure, and confidence students gained throughout the event.

Such experiences continue to inspire the next generation of designers to think differently, act swiftly, and design spaces that make a real difference in people’s lives.
