Hi,
If you are specifically talking about government jobs after completing Master of science in jewellery design and management, then there are very few opportunities in this field. It's more of a private job thing. But you can get a job in teaching field in government colleges of designing like NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology), NID (National Institute of Design), etc. But for that you have to complete your education first. You need to do Bachelor's as well as Master's and then PhD. If you don't want to do PhD then you should have 2 years of experience after your Master's (only the experience after your Master's will be counted). Apart from teaching line, ministry of textile and Handicrafts & Handloom Exports Council of India also offers some government jobs, but for that you need to have experience in craft sector.
One can always apply for SSC jobs.
I hope this will help you.

Hi,
I am not very sure whether one can get good placement opportunities after completing Masters from M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences or not. You should do it from a place where it's worth paying fees and you can get to learn enough.If you want to do Bachelor's in designing only then there are much better colleges for it like NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology ), NID (National Institute of Design), IIT-CEED (Common Entrance Examination for Design). These colleges are design specialised and will give you better career opportunities. These all are government colleges and comes under top 50 design colleges all over the world. One can easily get a starting salary of 3 LPA from them.I hope you will make a good decision.

Hi,
There is no room for doubt, you should definitely go for National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad over Apeejay Stya University. It's a government college and the best college for design in India and comes under the list of top 50 colleges all over the world. It provides quality education and design knowledge. the education programmes under each discipline are designed to meet these objectives so that students are able to progress through their courses in an integrated manner.
The curriculum should generate the scope for opportunities to integrate experiential and explorative learning in order to understand and achieve a high degree of creative innovation and quality.
A flexible framework for student-centered learning, whereby courses and assignments are able to harness the potential each student has in terms of creative expression and multi-dimensional learning.
Each programme must provide the opportunity to identify, plan and achieve learning goals through an understanding of cultural, social and technological developments in the context of historical, contemporary and individual concerns.
The objective, learning value and standard for each course are predetermined, but the context and relevance is repositioned by the faculty depending on the changing realities of the design profession and the level of professional competence achieved and demonstrated by the each group of students.
To provide interdisciplinary and progressive knowledge of design but with a focused understanding of an area of specialisation suited to the professional design practice.
There should be ample opportunity to develop innovative and exploratory thinking, necessary technical skills and the ability to locate individual design approaches within the appropriate professional context. To enable the students to develop a sense of social and professional commitments. They must learn to own the responsibility for their professional decisions.
The ability to develop critical, analytical, speculative and reflective problem-solving skills in an integrated manner. To understand the scenario cum user based and culture centric approach of design.
To provide thorough understanding of technical, managerial and design fundamentals along with a strong exposure to real life situations so that they are able to experience how the intellectual, creative and other skills acquired could be adopted to benefit the user, society and industry.

Hi,
National Institute of Designing interviews are held only to check whether you are really interested in that course or not. They want to see how keen you are to pursue for that particular course and what is the reason behind it. Personal interviews are not to check your abilities or the speaking skills or the language because you have already cleared the GAT (General Ability Test), so it's clear to them that you are good at English language and you have knowledge about design and you are creative.
So, they only ask you very general questions like:
- Tell me something about yourself?
- Where are you from?
- What do your parents do?
- Which college you are from?
- Why do you want to pursue for this course?- Why did you choose NID for this course?- How do you think this course will help you in your future?
- What are your future planes?- What are your interests and hobbies?
- What are your strengths?- Why did you score less in your Bachelor's?
I hope this will give you a little idea about NID's personal interview.
