The
graduate diploma programme in design commences with a two semester rigorous
Foundation Programme followed by 3 years of specialized studies in any of the
disciplines offered in GDPD.
The
one year Foundation Programme is geared towards developing values,
perspectives, sensorial skills and aesthetic sensitivity essential for a
designer in making. It introduces students to the fundamentals of design and
helps develop ways of perception, understanding of multidisciplinary nature of
design and relationship of design with human senses and emotions, culture,
environment and ecology.
Basic
design 'studio' courses are augmented by introductory studies in Science and
Liberal Arts. This allows the students to develop a worldview, understanding of
Indian milieu and the socio cultural context for Design to operate. The varied
inputs over two semesters provide the necessary direction, stimuli, facilities
and experience to foster creativity and thereby help each individual to
discover their own identity and potential. The Foundation Programme is the
basis on which the remaining design curriculum is built.

REGISTRATION
& EVALUATION
PGDPD candidates
selected for admission will be intimated by April 21, 2014 and GDPD candidates
selected for admission will be intimated by May 5, 2014. They are required to
pay fees for the entire academic year (by Bank Draft in favour of the National
Institute of Design payable at Ahmedabad) along with their letters of
acceptance as well as the rules and regulations duly endorsed by individual
candidate and by his/ her parent or guardian. These documents and the payment
must reach the Institute by the date as indicated in the offer letter. In case
the Institute does not receive the letter of acceptance and the payment as
aforesaid, by the date indicated, the offer of admission will stand withdrawn
and the available seat will be offered to those in the waiting list.
GDPD
candidates are required to submit attested copies of certificate and marksheets
at the timing of joining NID. PGDPD candidates who are waiting for the results
of their qualifying examinations will be offered provisional admission into the
programme.
The
Graduate Diploma Programme students are admitted only into the Foundation
Programme and their entry into different design domains is not automatic. On
successful completion of the Foundation Programme, the Semester Jury will
recommend the final decision on the specific design domain.
All
students are required to be present for the Orientation Programme and no
exceptions can be made. Failure to be present at the Orientation programme may
mean an automatic withdrawal by NID of its admission offer. Students who leave
the Institute in search of other career or other programmes elsewhere,
immediately after joining will be refunded the deposits as per rules. NID has
evolved a unique system of evaluating the knowledge and skills a student
acquires during his/her stay at the Institute. The evaluation of the student is
through critiques, qualitative feedback and specific award of grades and
credits. The overall aim is to enable each student to develop his/her strengths
and the areas in which his/her achievement needs to be further enhanced.
Evaluation thus becomes a review of each student’s progress judged against
his/her own ability and potential, and standard and objectives set for each
course. This encourages self improvement.
National
Institute of Design offers professional education programmes at Undergraduate
and Post Graduate level with five faculty streams and 18 diverse design
domains. NID has established exchange programmes and ongoing pedagogic
relationships with over 50 overseas institutions. NID has also been playing a
significant role in promoting design.
The
Professional Education at NID has both UG and PG Programmes— Graduate Diploma
Programme in Design (GDPD) of 4 years duration for students after 10+2 or
equivalent like AISSCE/ IB/ ISC, and the Post-Graduate Diploma Programme in
Design (PGDPD) of 2 ½ years duration for graduates from various domains
specific to each discipline.
Having
entered the 6th decade of design excellence, NID has been active as an
autonomous institute under the aegis of the Department of Industrial Policy
& Promotion, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India; in
education, applied research, service and advanced training in five faculty
streams, Industrial Design, Communication Design, Textile, Apparel & Lifestyle
Design, IT Integrated (Experiential) Design and Interdisciplinary Design
Studies. NID offers a wide spectrum of design domains while encouraging
transdisciplinary design projects. NID is a unique institution with many
problem-solving capabilities, depths of intellect and a time-tested creative
educational culture in promoting design competencies and setting standards of
design education. The rigorous development of the designer’s skills and
knowledge through a process of ‘hands on-minds on’ is what makes the
difference.
The
overall structure of NID’s programme is a combination of theory, skills, design
projects and field experiences supported by cutting edge design studios, skill
& innovation labs and the Knowledge Management Centre.
Sponsored
design projects are brought into the classroom to provide professional
experience. Interdisciplinary design studies in Science and Liberal Arts widen
the students’ horizons and increase general awareness of contemporary issues. A
unique feature of NID’s design education programme is the openness of its
educational culture and environment where students from different faculties and
design domains interact with each other in a seamless manner. The benefit of
learning in such a trans-disciplinary context is immeasurable.
