NID DAT prelims for bachelor degree is a written exam. The course curriculum is elaborate. faculties provide vast knowledge in four year programme. NID faculties encourage students in hand driven work.

I think NID has a good structure and a strong right knot community system, which when tapped into well, can act as a brilliant system of support and upheaval. The course syllabus could be more up to date and market-oriented, but at the same time, it is also thinking based and human-centric which works well for understanding the fundamentals of a design thinking and process. Also, NID is a place with a rich history, this having an abundance of good alumni and visiting faculties. It usually leaves you up with your devices, so most learning here happens from self-driven motivation and curiosity.

The course curriculum is set by the head of the department and is improvised every year since the start of the college, sometimes the faculties from outside India also comes as a visiting faculty.
