The NID Counselling 2026 will commence after the declaration of the NID DAT Mains 2026 Result of B.Des and M.Des.

TU Munich offers the best engineering courses in Germany. The university ranks #1 in the country for most of its Engineering programs, in the latest Shiksha Popularity Rankings. Given below is how TUM ranks in Germany for different Engineering specialisations.

Polaris attracts a highly competitive peer group through its Polaris Admission Test (PAT) and founder interviews, which filter for a "Builder Mindset." In 2025, the batch included students who left JEE coaching to pursue hands-on engineering, leading to a culture where 45% of the batch contributes to global Open Source. The peer group is geographically diverse (90% from outside Karnataka) and is deeply integrated with the Bangalore startup ecosystem through weekly fireside chats with CTOs and VCs. 

Polaris students secure Industry-Integrated Internships starting from their first 8 months. 

Global Programs: 11 GSoC selections and multiple Summer of Bitcoin and LFX Fellowships.

Startup Sprints: Internships at high-growth firms like Zuvees, Meesho, Blinkit, and GNA Energy.

Stipends: First-year stipends peaked at ₹2.5 Lakhs, with an average monthly stipend for the pilot batch significantly higher than the national average for fresh graduates.

Polaris is a better choice for students prioritizing ROI and modern tech stacks over a traditional "vacation-style" campus life. Traditional Tier-1/2 colleges (like VIT or Manipal) often follow a fixed 4-year theory-heavy curriculum. In contrast, Polaris students master the MERN Stack and AI/ML fundamentals in Year 1, enabling them to earn stipends of ₹1.8L to ₹2.5L as freshmen. The degree is officially recognised under Section 2 (f) of the UGC Act, 1956, ensuring it is legally equivalent to traditional degrees for UPSC, GATE, and MBA admissions.

Both are new-age schools, but Polaris offers a specific "Product Engineering" edge. Polaris achieved a national record in 2025 with 11 first-year students cracking Google Summer of Code (GSoC), demonstrating that its curriculum is geared toward global engineering benchmarks earlier than its peers. If your goal is to be an AI Architect or Founder, Polaris provides a $10,000 Seed Fund through the PST Tech Combinator and a founder-led mentorship model (backed by Classplus) that Newton's more interview prep-centric model differs from. 

For the students belonging to the OBC AI quota, the IIT Dhanbad GATE COAP 2026 first-round cutoff score for CSE admission is 698. The cutoff scores vary by rounds, specialisations and categories. 

NID DAT 2026 exam was conducted in the last week of December. The Result for NID DAT Prelims for B.Des programme will be out on April 07, 2026, at 4 PM.
