How is the course curriculum of Bachelor of Design [B.Des] (Textile Design) in NID Ahmedabad?

Nid follows a old style curriculum which has its own pros and cons. Here we prefer sticking to the basics in the beginning we believe in building our base rather than rushing. We imply more of practical knowledge rather than theoretical basically we experiment live with our ideas a lot and we are allowed to explore anything that we are interested in

I'm persuing textile design course at nid and it's a really well structured course compared to nift in terms of value and exposure. The curriculum includes various practical skills and theoretical courses which prepare you overall and give you a good base to start in the industry.

The curriculum has about 6-12 modules each semester which are vastly varied subjects. In majority of them a visiting faculty is appointed for guidance. The institute mostly believes in learning by doing and rarely spoonfeeds or holds the hand. There is a CGPA system and at the end there is a Jury presentation of the semester's work.

It focuses on the design field. There are 3 design fields which includes - Communication design, Industrial Design and Textile and apparel design. It's a hectic course and you leave every day gaining a lot if knowledge.
