The Heart of Student Life: A Culture of Creativity and Practical Learning
Student life at Delight Technical College is built around one powerful idea:
Learn by doing.
From the first day of class, students are immersed in hands-on training. Whether you are learning how to stitch your first garment, edit your first film, design your first logo, or build your first AI model, you are not just sitting in a classroom taking notes. You are creating.
The Learning Atmosphere
Delight’s classrooms feel more like creative studios and innovation labs. You will find:
- Fashion workshops buzzing with sewing machines and design tables
- Media studios filled with cameras, lights, and sound equipment
- ICT labs equipped with modern computers and internet access
- Photography and videography spaces for practical shooting
- Design labs for graphic and digital creation
Students collaborate, critique each other’s work, and grow together. It is common to see fashion students working with photography students for portfolio shoots, or film students collaborating with graphic designers for posters and branding.
This cross-school interaction creates a rich, professional learning environment that mirrors the real creative industry.
