Is it worth going for World University of Design with a 190 rank in UCEED? If not, then what other college should I go for?

World University of Design is a very new college. Since this college is very new it will take time to establish itself in the market. The only good thing about this college as of now is that you will get a UGC certified degree from this college. The college doesn’t have experienced in-house faculties for core subjects. The academic structure of the college is not well structured because of this you might face problems. There is no proper course structure and the management is not reliable. You won’t have any placement support. It will be riskier for you to join such an institution at an initial stage. If you have other options available then you must go for them. MITADT, Shristi, DAIICT, Symbiosis Aavantika are some of the reputed design institutes that you can consider.
