NID is purely dedicated to design areas. There are few courses only for fashion related.
People works in depth of each area of design viz, fashion, automobiles, lifestyle, architecture, film, cartoons, movie making, communication and many more. They're not just stick to fashion world.

NID people work to change the world.

NIFT is mostly dedicated to fashion world as I said earlier.
There are many branches but indirectly they all are connected with fashion only, viz; Leather, Textiles, Lifestyle, Knitwear, Fashion communication etc.

I hope this will give you some idea.

well, I would say nothing is better or worse though there is only one NID in India, so everyone wants to be on top.
Don't you…?

NID have very limited no. Of seats for both PG & UG.

Nid exams pick up different categories of students each year based on what they are looking.
Like, if they are picking students who are good in imagination or they have good presence of minds.

Hello Bhanu 

The differences are vast of you into depth and obviously NID is better than NIFT. NID is purely dedicated to design areas. There are few courses only for fashion related.

People works in depth of each area of design like, fashion, automobiles, lifestyle, architecture, film, cartoons, movie making, communication and many more. They're not just stick to fashion world.

First of all nid only has a few 100 seats whereas nift gives admission to thousands, and that tells about the placements .

Second nid is the leading designing school in India compared to about 16 nift colleges.

If u are interested in fashion u can select nift and if u want other designing courses like product, animation, film, graphics, industry etc u should try nid.
