Course Curriculum Overview :
The course carriculum is very well planned and structured and very relevent to the requirements of the students of each discipline. The foundation students has a common curriculum where as once you get into your discipline its different for each. The curriculum is very well structured that helps in building the required skill you need to have when you reach the industry. Since you are continuosly evaluated and given proper guidance and suggestion it provides room for constant improvisation and betterment of yourself and your works
Internships Opportunities :
The college doesnt provide any internship oppurtunity but rather has an industry connect team that helps you in sending and recomending you to various companies according to your works. The college has contacts accross the industry which helps or makes it easier for you to work or land on internships with companies of your wish
Fees and Financial Aid :
I am a b.des communication design student. To have got to study in here was one great oppurtunity. With the all the facilities provided here. The college has it lab, mac lab, weaving studio, and workshops, with seperate lecture halls and class room, basket ball courts, football court etc. The courses provided are for bachelors in textile design, communication design and industrial design. The fee structure is as follows: semester fees for |,||,|||,|V,V,V| Tution fee on semester basis : 1,14,700 Hostel fee on semester basis : 26,600 Mess fee on semester basis : 38,500 Total semester fee : 1,79,800 semester fee for V|| : 1,70,200 The college doesnt provide any scholorship or financial aid of its own. Student get scholarships or loans from outside. All students who are at the college are required to stay at the hostel and hence compulsorily pay the hostel and mess fee. The college is in a very rural locality which is one of its cons. There are all requires facilities and small town near by. But getting adjusted to live there is tad bit difficult at the beginning. There are cafeteria and design store inside the campus which provides us with required small stuffs
Campus Life :
The college celeberates every festival as students from all over the country are there. like new year, christmas, onam, diwali, halloween, navaratri, holi etc. There is also freshers and farewell. The college provides a huge library with humungous amount of design resources,advanced technology and easy acces to all of its students. The classrooms are well equiped with tables and chairs for each, airconditoned and has presentation screens. The college hosts a sports day and also has all required sports facilities. The college also has a variety of clubs like dance, film, cycling etc. All of this helps the students to build a sense of community and a home away from home
Hostel Facilities :
The hostel has all required facility, seperate beds, study tables, socketcs and shelves each and also has a balcony in each room. Also has seperate washrooms and shower stall on each floors. A washing machine and drinking water facility on each floors. The first year students get a 3 sharing room, 2nd year a 2 sharing and 3rd gets a single room all of are spacious and clean. The mess provides breakfast, lunch, evening tea snacks and dinner. The breakfast keeps changing each day from dosa, chole bhature , puri, aloo paratha, poha etc. Lunch menu is mostly rice and chappati with aloo and dal,soya, rajma and curd, pasta, chowmein etc. Dinner menu is chappati and rice with aloo, dal, egg, chicken. keeps rotating each day. The taste is very poor especially lunch and dinner
Admission :
I applied to NIFT, IIT and NID all 3 design colleges, i cleared all of their entrance exams. And chose NID as it met my career dreams and was also one of the most prestigious design college in india. Hence i knew it was the right choice for myself. The entrance exam consist of 2 rounds. The prelims which is a written exam where we are tested on our drawing skills, general knowledge, aptitude and arithematic skills. The 2 nd one is the mains which is a studio test where you are tested on you material handling, drawing, visual and auditary skills.The cuttofs keep changing each year. and its very difficult to get in as the no of seats are very limited.
Faculty :
There are only a very limited no of permenant faculties and at time its mostly visiting faculties. all of them are approachable. All of them are helpfull and guide us on our works and projects. The college doesnt follow an exam system rather its a semester wise jury system where you have to present the works of your entire semester to a panel consisting of an external and an internal jurer. along with that your are continuosly evaluated on the basis of each of your works in each courses through out the semester. Students who are regular with their works can clear all of this easily
Interview Experience :
There is no group discussion. It is prelims and mains. prelims being written exam where your tested mainly on your drawing skills, time management and also general knowledge, mental aptitude and arithematic skills. The mains is a studio test where you are judged on your material handling, time management and drawing skills.
