NID Haryana is the second-best NID after Ahmedabad.
Placements: 99% of students get placed in either through campus placements or self. The highest package offered last time in the textile department was 75 LPA. The average package is 12 LPA. A lot of companies approach including Daily Objects, Adobe, Microsoft, etc. A lot of students got internships during graduation projects. Creative director or creative head are the top roles offered here.
Infrastructure: It has a well-maintained hostel with decent means. Wi-Fi is good but can be better. It has decent studios and a library. It has very good facilities like AC, TV, and digital library. We have our own ambulance in case of emergency and a doctor is present on the campus. Mess is open till 1 am.
Faculty: We get highly qualified and reputed faculty members. They are excellent in their respective disciplines. To be frank, in-house faculty members are bad and need to change especially discipline coordinators and external faculty is good. We have 2 juries in one academic year and it is very subjective.

Good in everything, literally the best of NIDs. Majority of students are satisfied.
Placements: Since I am in the first year, I don't have a proper idea about the placements. But one thing I am sure is that our placement cell is providing placements to many companies all over India, as per the college's brochure. I have personally heard from some seniors that they also got many internship offers, thanks to the college.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is really great and beautiful. Unlike other NIDs, this college's aesthetics is more like IIT. And talking about facilities, we have pretty much all the basic facilities both in college and hostel. The college has great high-end facilities like air-conditioned classrooms, good and secure Wi-Fi, labs with high-end computers and devices, and the workshop is also having everything we needed, such as metal workshop, wood, clay, laser cutting, and 3D printing workshops. And about hostels, we have high-end Wi-Fi, spacious rooms, and automatic washing machines. The mess food is the greatest food you will ever find in any college. Totally worth it.
Faculty: Teachers and faculty members are mostly guest faculty members (in the first year), but they are highly qualified. The college always takes reviews about faculty members and arranges them accordingly. The course curriculum is also very well planned and also hectic as *. But it's totally worth it. Regarding semester exams, we don't have an exam system but rather Juries. Jury is conducted at the end of every semester.
Other: Good community is built within the college, with a strict anti-ragging and discipline board.
