M.Des Graphic Design - Batch of 2022-01-01

I'm pursuing M.des as I'm having interest in UI/UX designing so I adopted this Course from NID.
The faculty are well trained and qualified from best college of designing.
The curriculum is updated and quite hectic, loads of assignment we have to do on daily basses. College provides us workshops that make us job ready.
College Infra
Our college infrastructure is very very good as college have all the advance facilities from advance classroom to studios to advance and well-furnished library.
College area is clean and well maintained by the staff.
college do provide hostels for student, but food of the college hostel is not good.
As I take admission, they provide me design kit and campus has best good training facility for students like advance board, advance software laptops for designing.
College campus does have sports area for students.
Campus Life
The yearly monsoon celebration, aesthetic, and variety of culture activities make NID campus life something to looking forward to.
Event like fashion shows happened in our college at big level.
As college is located in a good near to all the main market, hospital, cafes, malls so the place is safe for students and do handle all the emergency situations.
Placements
As I'm in 1st year so I don't know about much but yes college do provide 95% of placements.
As a Freshes college do provide internship opportunities for all the students.

All the college faculty are supportive in our placement process.
Value For Money
For 1st year I had pay 5 lakhs and for 2nd year I have to pay 4 lakhs 40 thousand.
considering the other college design fee our college fee is quite inexpensive and college do provide internships and good placement for student, so money I'm spending is worth it.

Design education at its best

B.Des Graphic Design - Batch of 2021-01-01
Academics
The B.Des courses at our college are all very sought after by aspiring designers, we have great faculty and technical professionals to train us in design thinking as well as how to get going in the industry. The curriculum is based on the Bahaus school of design which is considered as the pioneer functional design in the world. We have an open classroom system wherein students from different disciplines can attend classes of other disciplines. It encourages collaborative endeavours.
College Infra
Love the fact that the spaces in our studios are very mobile, can be changed as per course requirements. Very open, students gets ample working area for individual projects as well and personalisation of your space is permitted which makes it more student friendly. It's a cohesive environment and the labs too are well equipped with trained professionals to guide the students. Hostel rooms are also well maintained as per government standards and the mess food is also pretty decent.
Campus Life
The campus life at NID is definitely something to look forward to with a range of cultural events, the annual monsoon fest, sports etc. Being a small student community of 400-450 students get very familiar with each and everyone by the end of the first year. The staff and facilities also become like family since we reside in the same hostel campus. We have adequate help provided during emergencies, and the college is located in the midst the main city so everything is nearby.
Placements
We have an industry Interface every year and over 100 companies/firms/studios come to offer full time placements as well as six month internships for final semester students for graduation project (both M.Des and B.Des students).
Value For Money
Being the cheapest and the best design school in the country, I would definitely say that it is a very affordable design education considering the fees of other private design colleges in India. NID offers freeships for students coming who need financial leeway. There's an Earn while you Learn program that helps students earn some money by helping in projects given to the institute by government and other agencies.
