An initiative by UforUX
Ten seats.
One studio.
Every year.
Super10 prepares ten students a year for India’s toughest design entrance exam, on a full scholarship — taught by the working designers of the UforUX network.
Why it exists
Design school shouldn’t go to whoever could afford the coaching.
The entrance
Rewards trained observation.
It is not a syllabus you can cram the week before.
The coaching
Costs more than most families can carry.
So the seat quietly goes to whoever could pay for practice.
The result
Talent gets filtered by budget.
Studios end up hiring from a much smaller pool than they think.
Super10
Ten fully funded seats a year.
Taught by designers who were once on the other side of that filter.
What a seat includes
One cohort, four commitments.
01
A full scholarship
Every seat is free. No fee, no instalments, no catch — the network funds the cohort so cost never decides who gets taught.
02
Studio-led mentorship
You are taught by working designers from the UforUX network, not career coaches. The people reviewing your sketches ship real products.
03
A portfolio, not a prep file
You leave with a body of work you would show a studio, not a folder of solved question papers.
04
The craft the exam tests
Observation, material sense, storytelling and timed making — drilled weekly against the standard the entrance actually sets.
How the ten are chosen
No entrance test for the entrance test.
- Step 01Open callApplications open once a year and close when the intake fills. Anyone appearing for a design entrance can apply.
- Step 02The Super10 QualifierA timed, exam-style assessment that mirrors the real entrance's format. Early bird pricing of ₹899 runs through September 23 — ₹1,299 after that.
- Step 03Ten seatsThe ten highest scorers on the Qualifier are offered a place — ranked purely on performance, no separate interview round.
- Step 04The yearWeekly studio sessions, monthly full-day reviews, and a standing critique channel until the exam is behind you.
The whole idea, in one line
“Ten students a year should not be stopped by a fee. Fifty designers can carry that.”
What you walk out with
A year that outlasts the result.
Portfolio
Fifteen to twenty finished pieces.
Sketchbooks, material studies and one long-form project, sequenced into a folio you can defend in an interview.
Process
A way of working that survives the exam.
Observation habits and critique reflexes that keep paying off long after the result is out.
Studio literacy
You will have sat in real critique.
By the interview stage, a design studio conversation is already familiar ground.
The network
Fifty designers who know your name.
Every alum stays in the room — for referrals, internships and the next round of critique.
Questions we get
Before you apply.
What does a seat cost?
The Super10 Qualifier costs ₹899 as an early-bird rate through September 23 (₹1,299 after). That's the only cost at any stage — the ten students who score highest get a full year of coaching for free, no fee, no instalments.
Why does the Qualifier cost anything if the seats are free?
It covers running and proctoring the assessment at scale. Every applicant who sits it — not just the ten who're chosen — is what keeps the funded seats free.
Who can apply?
Any student preparing for a design entrance in India. You do not need prior art training, a portfolio or a design background to apply.
Do I need to be in Bengaluru?
No. Studio sessions run online, with in-person reviews in Bengaluru for anyone who can travel. Nobody is at a disadvantage for being remote.
How much time does it take?
Plan for one weekly studio session plus a monthly full-day review, alongside your own practice. It is built to sit beside school, not replace it.
Why only ten?
Because critique stops working at scale. Ten is the number of portfolios a volunteer mentor group can genuinely hold in its head.
Take one of the ten.
Sign up below to sit the Super10 Qualifier. Score in the top ten and your full year of coaching is free.
