NID, which was founded in 1961, is renowned as being the most competitive design school in India. It only has 275 seats available in its M. Des programme and only about 100 seats in its B. Des programmes.
It is a legally recognised institution run by the Indian government's DPIIT, Ministry of Commerce and Industry. Due to the National Institute of Design Act of 2014, it has been designated by an Act of Parliament as a "Institution of National Importance."
NID is solely focused on design fields. There aren't many courses specifically focused on fashion. People work extensively in every design-related field, including fashion, motor vehicles, lifestyle, architecture, movies, cartoons, communication, and many more. They do not only focus on the fashion industry.
