Admission at NID involves a multi-phase process starting with an entrance exam in the first or second week of January. Application forms are available in October and November. Successful candidates move on to a studio test and an interview. Admission is granted upon passing all stages. The faculty at NID are experienced, with some having international expertise, and the institution occasionally hosts visiting faculty from abroad. As a government college, NID offers relatively low annual fees of about 3 lakhs, including hostel and food, compared to private design colleges.
Students can also obtain a loan from the Bank of India without collateral. The demand for design students is increasing, resulting in more companies visiting for placements. While many students pursue entrepreneurship, the college hosts a large placement event with prominent companies. Although the college does not provide internships, some companies recruit interns, offering varying stipends. Scholarships covering 50% to 100% of tuition fees are available, based on the applicant's family income.
A committee conducts interviews to determine scholarship eligibility.
