Wonderful place to be, it help discover one's self, passion and interest.

Placements: Yes, there is a placement cell at NID Paldi campus. It works good for a few disciplines but not for all. Reason being both placements and internships take place simultaneouly. So, the seriousness is not as much. Apart from it, not all the interest areas are satisfied. For instance, students interested in crafts hardly find companies facilitating their interest. As the companies are more industry oriented. Sometimes, professionalism is also faced on the part of employers. Minimum package starts from 8 lac and goes uptill 36 lac, as of now. Another angle is the education system. The way students are taught and provided wisdom through hand driven, self exploratory approach, majority of students go for enterprenuership wherein collaborative design cenetric work takes place. Often, students or Alumni group is more interested towards collaborating with traditional artisans to keep the craft joyfully alive, to maximize its exposure by contemporary additions and innovations.

Infrastructure: The entire campus has been beautifully designed with sequential unfolding of spaces. The proportion of built and unbuilt flow beautifully into each other. There are no strict path to a place, every person decides their own trail. Recently, all the classrooms and studio spaces have been made air conditioned. The library (knowledge management centre) as we call it, is an immense source of authentic information and has been kept systematically. The staff is strict and very helpful. The campus is fully Wi-Fi. There is a gym, mess, canteen, chain zone (we call it chain GATE wonderful green spaces, intermediate courtyards etc. The quality of food is decent and they work on variety as well. As a M.Des student, I did not get to stay at the hostel. But now there is one, newly constructed for M.Des girls.

Faculty: The course curriculum is quiet elaborate and touches upon each aspect in great detail. Though, the amount of knowledge is vast enough to be grabbed in a span of 2.5 years in an M.Des programme. But, at NID, learning comes by doing. So, once this approach is imbibe in a person they learn forever. NID encourages hand driven work. This develops sensitivity towards process and helps inculcate the value of time. Though open to technological advances, NID supports hand work more than machine work. It encourages craft driven approaches and works towards conservation and preservation of crafts through design innovations. Faculty members are qualified have industrial or craft based links. The diversity of courses and view points is the beauty.

Other: The campus is beautiful beyond comparison. It provides opportunity to each user to design their own trail. Movement is not strict and there are multiple ways of reaching one place. This facilitates decision making based on the scenario. The spaces are free flowing. There is an auditorium which features films, student films, talks, etc. After each course students display their work for comments. Students keep participating in competitions and win at them too. In the evening, students and alumni group plays together. Cultural events, competitions, displays keep happening frequently. The campus is near to Sabarmati river.
