Overview

DQ Labs was established with the express intent to inculcate design thinking and design sense in students in India in order to better prepare them for the requirements of future careers. DQ Labs has regular online classes that teach anyone over Class 5 from how to draw to how to make a digital design. An annual design hackathon for students of Classes 9 to 11 helps them test and hone their design skills if they are contemplating further education in the area after Class 12. DQ Labs also focuses on training students who wish to take admission tests to colleges for design, fashion or architecture. Over the years DQ Labs has been instrumental in helping many students enter the premier design, fashion and architecture institutes like NID, IIT, NIFT, SPA and CEPT amongst others. DQ Labs has the highest success rate across all major entrance exams among all coaching institutes. The coaching for the entrance classes is provided online across the country as well as offline at centres in Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Mangalore and Thrissur. Established in 2007 by two designers from IIT Delhi, DQ Labs boasts of devoted teaching staff comprising designers and architects from premier institutes. One of the main reasons for the high success rates in entrance exams is the mentorship and the individualised care that students get from the faculty. DQ Labs also has an online platform to teach and assist students looking to write entrance exams. The award-winning platform, called DQ Edge, carries past years' question papers, practice tests and instructional videos. Some of the content is accessible free of cost but advanced levels are available on subscription. In the coming years, DQ Labs plans to expand its online and offline reach further to help more students grasp the elements of design as well as take up further learning in creative fields.
