Good. Waiting for offline classes.

Placements: Well, many of my seniors are working for good companies. And you have to do a graduation project in the final year of NID. And your portfolio is more important to get some good jobs. It's not precisely like engineering colleges. Design institutes have slightly different systems.

Infrastructure: As of now, we don't have any hostel or mess service. But our new NID campus is being constructed in Amravati. It's almost done. We will be shifting there soon. It will have all the requirements you want. The construction was a little slow because of some government issues. but hopes we will be there soon.

Faculty: There are good faculty members. The course curriculum is based on NID. And there are no exams in NID. There will be a jury instead. But you will have to do a lot of work and will have time limits for submitting it. And there will be visiting faculty members. Many of them have graduated from good colleges as well.
