Review of National Institute of Design, Madhya Pradesh.

Placements: This college is new, so we don't have a lot of previous batches who have passed out. This year's fourth-year batch is the first batch. They were very talented.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. Our college provides us with all facilities. The hostel is new. The hostel has LAN, bathrooms, and cold and hot water. The food served in the mess is good. We have a male doctor, a female gynecologist, and a female psychologist. We have a football ground, two basketball courts, two volleyball courts, a cricket pitch, a lawn tennis court, an open gym, a gymnasium with table tennis, musical instruments, voluntary yoga classes, etc.

Faculty: Our teachers are well-qualified. Every course is a challenge. They give us assignments. They follow the basic curriculum of all NIDs. It is effective, but it should be improved.
