Q:   Which NID is better - Ahmedabad or Bangalore?

A: 

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 offers only MDes course.

Both the NID 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 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:
