National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad

The questions around package and companies are useless unless you specify a domain/discipline (too broad, no insight). Several graduates tend to start their own studio. According to LinkedIn, 377 out of 3500 graduates are Entrepreneurs (Nowhere close to the 60% stat by Submit Shah, but I hope he can give some source). Popular companies (based on number of NIDians employed) are Cognizant, Microsoft, SAP, Adobe, Samsung, Godrej, HFI etc. All your main/sub questions lead to one destination that is how much money you can earn after graduating from NID. If you that's the only concern you have then start your own business to earn. NID won't teach you how to earn money. You have to use the % brains you have to be on the top. What NID can help you to put you in good companies. It also depends on the stream you apply for. Now, look at another scenario. Let's say you love textile design, and you want to apply for Textile/Apparel design at NID, right! What if I tell you that go for some of the UX related courses at NID to get more packages, will you just listen to me and go ahead with it? If yes then you have GOT no passion for a particular design rather than earning money. If that is the case then stop doing it. Have a vision where do you want to be and as a what. You will earn money for sure after graduating from colleges like NID or IIT that would take some time along with the level of industry experience you have Thank you.
