Yes, NID Jorhat is little more expensive than UPES. Both institutions have distinct advantages and offerings.

NID Jorhat is known for its reputable design programs and may appeal to those seeking a holistic design education with a potentially more affordable cost.

On the other hand, UPES, though pricier, offers programs like B.Des Communication and Media Design with specializations in Animation & VFX and Graphics, as well as B.Des Industrial and Product Design through its School of Design.

The decision should consider factors such as program content, faculty expertise, campus facilities, and potential networking opportunities.

If cost is a significant factor and NID Jorhat aligns with your goals, it could be a more financially viable option, but careful consideration of program specifics is crucial to make an informed decision tailored to your academic and career needs.

Admissions at NID Jorhat are both entrance-based and merit-based. Candidates must first qualify for the institute's design aptitude test (DAT) by scoring well in the National Institute of Design Aptitude Test (NID-DAT), a national-level entrance exam. The DAT further evaluates candidates' design skills, creative thinking, and problem-solving abilities. Finally, shortlisted candidates undergo personal interviews to assess their communication skills, motivation, design philosophy, and overall suitability for the B.Des program.

In essence, the selection process at NID Jorhat is a combination of entrance exam (NID-DAT), design aptitude test (DAT), and personal interviews. Candidates are evaluated based on their performance in each stage, and admission is offered to those who demonstrate the strongest combination of design aptitude, creative thinking, problem-solving skills, and overall suitability for the program.

Here's a breakdown of the selection process

NID-DAT: The NID-DAT is the first hurdle in the admission process. Candidates must score well in this entrance exam to be considered for further evaluation.

DAT: Shortlisted candidates from the NID-DAT are invited for the DAT, a hands-on studio-based test that assesses their design skills, creative thinking, and problem-solving abilities.

Personal Interviews: Candidates who perform well in the DAT are invited for personal interviews to assess their communication skills, motivation, design philosophy, and overall suitability for the B.Des program.

Merit List: A merit list is prepared based on the combined performance in the NID-DAT, and personal interviews. Admission is offered to candidates based on their ranking on this merit list.

So, while NID Jorhat considers both entrance exam scores (NID-DAT) and design aptitude (DAT), the overall selection process is merit-based, meaning that candidates are ultimately selected based on their overall performance throughout the various stages of evaluation.
