If you compare IIT BDes with NID courses, your decision relies on what type of designer you want to be. In NID, you are exposed to a hands-on approach where creativity and experimentation are utilised for learning. The graduates are hired from companies like TCS, Infosys, and Titan, with average packages going up to around INR 18 lakh for the top students. Conversely, IITs are technology blended with design thinking, readying you for product-based and industrial design careers. Microsoft and Samsung hire from IITs extensively and pay the median salary of INR 5-7 lakh. Go for NID if you enjoy artistic freedom and actual design exposure, or IIT if you enjoy a solid technical grounding and overseas opportunities.
