Aspirants of design courses look for ways to crack the entrance examination for both bachelors and masters courses. They know that qualifying in this examination can open up a window of opportunities for them.

Are you also planning to do the same? If yes, then you have come to the right place. This post will cover the key aspects related to design courses in NID.

 

Does NID have the course of interior designing?

Though NID Ahmedabad offers a wide range of designing courses, it does not provide admissions for interior designing courses.

Instead, for the aspirants of interior designing, the institute provides furniture and interior design courses. It seeks to improve the living and working atmosphere in by making changes to objects and structures lodged in residences and workplaces. Most interior design experts believe such changes play a leading role in raising the bar of the quality of life.

 

The discipline bears some resemblance to environmental design and industrial professions. It draws ideas from these professions.

The pieces of furniture in a room play an important role in creating a good atmosphere. Among other things, they contribute to the psychological aspects of individuals. Choosing the right set of furniture can make a big difference in a person’s way of thinking. 

As such, the discipline of furniture and interior design has gained in popularity. Unlike interior design, this course creates better prospects for one’s professional career. Just like interior designing, this course also provides a great impetus to the creativity of an individual.

How is NID different from NIFT? Which is better?

NIFT and NID are the two premier institutes for fashion designing courses in India. Most career-oriented students, who wish to craft a career out of designing, seek admission in the courses available in these reputed institutions. 

While there is no denying the fact that a seat in these institutions is high on demand, there is a clear line of distinction between both. 

In terms of courses, NID only offers bachelors and masters courses in designing. However, on this front, NIFT offers a wider spectrum of courses. These include MFM, M.F.Tech, M. Des, B.F.Tech, and B.Des courses.

NID lays greater emphasis on specifics, whereas NIFT explores the greater possibilities of each course that it offers. That is to say, NIFT allows the students of its courses to dig deeper into their chosen fields as per their convenience. By doing so, it paves the path for broader job prospects for them.

Apart from the aforementioned variations, there are also differences in these institutes in connection with the number of seats and course fees.

While NID has a capacity of 15 seats in 3 centres, the NIFT offers 30 seats in all their 15 centres.

Lastly, the semester-wise fee for NID is two times that of NIFT.
