Leadership Perspective: Redefining Career Choices
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Vice-Chancellor, World University of Design, said:
“Many students today find themselves at a crossroads after board results—especially those who may not wish to pursue conventional paths. At WUD, we encourage students to look beyond labels like Science, Commerce or Arts, and instead discover where their curiosity and strengths truly lie. Design education today is not about drawing alone—it is about solving real-world problems, creating meaningful experiences, and shaping the future across industries.”
