Nasheet's Review On National Institute Of Design - [NID], Gandhinagar

NID has its own entrance exams, known as NID entrance only. NID is known as a best design college in India and comes under best 25 Design schools of World, every design enthusiast has a dream to be part of this institute, so do I. Another reason was the course which I have taken, Strategic Design Management, NID is the only institute in India which is running this course successfully.

NID site has all the course information. Select particular course you want to go and see everything from course to your future opportunities. The one best thing about NID is that the course curriculum is not rigid, it keep on evolving every year with the changing World and industry requirement. So student and faculty both are very open to explore their best.

Yes, NID has its placement week, during which they provide internships, graduation projects and placements to students. It happens in December. The minimum stipend limit is 15 k and it goes up to 75 k. They give you full freedom to choose your internship company and project you want to work on with them.

Placements are 100 percent. NID does its best to provide opportunities to students, but many of them choose not to go for job and prefer to start their own company for which NID has an Incubator cell. Companies for Internship, graduation project and placement are almost same, based on their requirement they circulate the opportunities.

We celebrate almost all festivals with same spirit, attire and lots of yummy authentic food. We call it just "Culturals" be it any festival. We have "Bateein Session" almost every second week. It is like an interactive session with industry experts. So you learn from the real people then through case studies or books.

Compare to other design colleges the fee structure is quite feasible. The entire master course of 2.5 year cost you around 9-10 lakhs including admission fees, hostel fees, food and extra expenses. I say the cost to study is really worth it, you can easily earn back the same amount in just one year.

Scholarship is their but based on parents income status. Other than that ford foundation is there to help the students. There are lots of back which provides loan to the students, mostly student go for SBI education loan.

Gender ration is 50-50 in all total, but changes as per the discipline. NID has its own Student activity committee which takes care of all the student requirement and issues. Campus life is one of its own experience. Everyone has a full freedom to nurture their interests and explore their best capabilities.

NID has a jury system not written exam system. You will get 15-30 min of time and you need to present your best work done in entire system. Day is not at all hectic, it just need lot of energy, and once you are into it you will forget about day and night. Day and night are same in NID.

One thing which I have never seen in any education institute is that in NID there is no funda of teacher-student. You can as open to your faculty as your friends. Even student can also suggest faculties what they want to learn. And faculty put their best effort to make it happen if it really holds a value for entire community.
