Dear Student, 

When you are making your portfolio for BITS Design School (BITSDES), keep in mind that although the school does not offer sample portfolios, it does give a lot of direction to enable you to make your own. The most important thing is to concentrate on demonstrating a combination of project diversity, depth, and solid technical skills. To assist you in this regard, BITSDES has posted an effective YouTube video on "How to Make a Portfolio for BITS Design School" from which you'll get tips and suggestions for communicating your skills and creativity successfully.

Apart from the official advice, you may also learn valuable insights from online forums where previous applicants post their experiences. For instance, one applicant submitted product designs, pencil drawings, and computer artwork as part of their portfolio. Although these instances may provide you with valuable insights, keep in mind that they are individual experiences and not official advice from the school.

To get a wider perspective, you can also look at general resources on building design portfolios. There are many websites that provide articles and advice on making instructional design portfolios, which, although not BITSDES-specific, can still give useful tips and ideas for your portfolio creation.
