ShikshaTopQuestions-Design

NID is known as one of the best colleges to pursue design. Relying totally on coaching centers to crack NID entrance exam will not be a wise decision.
Being creative is the key to crack NID entrance exam, and for that, you don't have to rely on coaching classes. I would suggest that instead of paying high fees to the coaching centres, you must go on a tour or travel around. If not that, just observe the things around you. Go for a walk every morning and observe the details and designs of the things around. Wherever you go, try to observe and see the things from your perspective. Try to analyse the things and think about them.
Still, I would like to justify your query by suggesting you few of the best coaching institutes across India for NID preparation:

Hello,
Indian Institute of Technology at Guwahati was established in 1994 in Guwahati in Assam. This was established so that students of seven sisters get an IIT nearer to their home. The next step was establishment of department of design. Idea was to train students in India itself who will be experts in varied and different aspects of industrial design. Initially, undergraduate courses began and then post graduate as well as research has also begun leading to awards of PhD. Brand IIT is all pervasive. Guwahati being industrial leader of North Eastern states also helps. Students are placed in internships also with different industries in India and abroad also. Placements are the heart and soul of any education institute of repute and IIT G is no exception. All students who register are placed without fail every year.
