Wide spectrum

Likes

This is a really open and inclusive place irrespective of your gender , sexuality, caste etc.
Considering the fact that most of the courses here have visiting faculty it makes you open to new people and let’s you know more perspectives and help you think differently
The overall staff is really good and helpful

Dislikes

The infrastructure is really old which dates back to 1961 and over the time it has just been renewed and not completely furnished or reconstructed
I guess they should change the curriculum since they have been following the same curriculum since the beginning and ig it’s high time that it gets updated
The water is not purified and sometimes we barely get cold water

Experience of nid Ahmedabad

The other students and how everyone is different from eachother.
The culture of nid is very rich and have a good alumni system
Everyone is very helpful and facilities is also very good and supportive

The weather of Ahmedabad and specially during summer it's very hard to sleep in hostel without ac's
Mess food is not very good too much oil and roti not properly cooked
Hostel are getting really old now should give them a proper renovation

I applied for nift and fddi. I got accepted in both of the colleges but i choose nid over them because it was more suitable for my career and nid have different decipline like product design, ceramic and clay design, film and video communication, graphic design, exhibition design, furniture design, animation and film design so i can learn from others also and can build my own portfolio according to my interests

National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad - a basic Review

I first knew about it from one of my senior. So I applied right after my XII exams. There are two levels- DAT and MAINS. I chose this institution because I always wanted to do animation. And this seemed to be one of the best design colleges in India which provides this course. The admission happens around April-May.

Sruti's Review On National Institute Of Design - [NID], Ahmedabad

It was my best shot. I was unsure, and they had a year-long foundation course, so I could still make up my mind if this is what I truly wanted. It was a lucky shot, but worth it. Right now, I am doing animation and film design, and the wealth of insight and info I get here is probably most human-centric and community-based.

Best Design School in India

I wanted to pursue Transportation Design since childhood. I also applied for Product design but ended up choosing Transportation because sketching cars was something that I have been doing since childhood. For the admission process you have to appear for an Aptitude Test and if you get shortlisted then you will be called for an interview and a discipline specific aptitude test. In the interview you have to show your portfolio. The interview may or may not be around the discipline that you select because they want to check your knowledge about the subject but also want to know about your thinking process.

First of all there is an entrance exam to be given, the qualifiers that go to the second round of selection that is a model making and sketching round. Once you clear both the exams you get a mail regarding the dates of joining and other details.
