Despite the fact that both NID and NIFT are well-known institutions that constantly produce the top brains in fashion and design, let us look at the differences between the two.
NID is the premier Indian institute for product design, idea creation, and design innovation, with a global reputation for design quality.
NID teaches students about design and art, as well as aesthetic sense and design engineering extracts. It is primarily concerned with art, aesthetics, and product design.
NIFT is India’s foremost fashion design institution, producing the greatest stylists and fashion designers year after year. Fabrics, illustration, aesthetic sensibility, garment manufacturing, style, and the technology that surrounds it are all areas of concentration at NIFT. In other ways, the emphasis is on garments and clothing.
