In India, there are seven NIDs in all. Applicants can review the following list of NIDs in India:

NID Ahmedabad

NID Bengaluru

NID Gandhinagar

NID Andhra Pradesh

NID Madhya Pradesh

NID Haryana

NID Assam

NID Bangalore and NID Ahmedabad cannot really be compared because NID Bangalore is the extended campus of NID Ahmedabad and the institutes have a common admission process and a centralised placement cell.

NID Ahmedabad offers BDes and MDes, on the other hand NID Bangalore only offers an MDes.

Both the institutes offers different MDes specialisations, therefore the choice of institute will majorly depend on the specialisation selection of a candidate. For instance, if an aspirant wish to pursue MDes with specialisation in Digital Game Design, he/she will have to take admission at the Bangalore campus because the NID Ahmedabad does not offer the aforementioned specialisation.

The list of specialisation offered by both NIDs is mentioned below:
