NIT Rourkela Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

Dear student,

If you're passionate about design and have a decent JEE Main rank, the choice between ISDI Mumbai (Product Design) and NIT Rourkela (B.Tech in Industrial Design) comes down to your goals.

ISDI Mumbai is a pure design institute focused on creativity, innovation, and hands-on learning. The program emphasizes real-world projects, portfolio building, and exposure to Mumbai’s design industry. It’s best for those who want a career in creative design , user experience, or product innovation. Admission is based on the ISDI Challenge , not JEE.

NIT Rourkela , on the other hand, offers a design-oriented B.Tech that blends engineering and product design. It’s a good fit if you're looking for a technical degree with a design element . The course includes CAD, UX, manufacturing, and product development. Admission is through JEE Main and JoSAA , with strong placements and a top-tier campus.

Your decision should align with whether you see yourself as a designer first or an engineer with design skills .

Take your time
