The NID (National Institute of Design) counseling process is a critical step in securing admission to NID's Bachelor of Design (B.Des) and Master of Design (M.Des) programs. It plays a pivotal role in determining which program you are admitted to, as well as the NID campus where you will study.
During the counseling process, you have the opportunity to choose your preferred discipline (specialization) and the NID campus where you wish to study. The allocation of seats is based on your merit rank and choices. Therefore, your choices during counseling directly impact the program and campus you get admitted to.
NID programs are highly competitive, and the number of available seats is limited. The counseling process helps allocate seats to deserving candidates based on their ranks and preferences. Failing to participate in counseling or not making choices in line with your preferences can affect your chances of securing a seat.
The counseling process allows you to select the specific discipline or specialization within design that aligns with your interests and career goals. This choice can have a significant impact on the course of study you pursue during your time at NID.
In addition to the main counseling rounds, there may be subsequent rounds or spot counseling to fill any vacant seats that remain after the initial rounds. Participating in these rounds can provide opportunities to secure admission even if you were not allocated a seat in the first round.
