The best package for placements at UID Ahmedabad are not available readily. But in 2022, the average package for a B.Des was around INR 8–12 LPA, and the average package for an M.Des was INR 10–14 LPA. Prominent recruiters such as FabIndia and Byju's took part, thus individual offers might have exceeded those ranges.
