It is the NID for the North-East. Same common DAT Prelims (apply by 30 November 2026; exam 20 December 2026).

Rankings

Not in the NIRF 2025 lists.That doesn't make it a poor choice — colleges decide whether to take part, and many good ones are too new or too small. Check its approvals, results and fees instead.

How to read rankings

  1. The course rank matters more than the overall rank. A college can be average overall and excellent for law.
  2. Each list measures different things. NIRF scores teaching, research, results after graduation, how inclusive a college is, and its reputation.
  3. Small gaps mean little. Ranks 12 and 18 are close; don't choose on a few places.
  4. Not ranked isn't bad. Colleges choose whether to take part, and new or small ones often don't.

Where this comes from

Checked on 30/10/2026 on these official pages:

Couldn't confirm yet: seats per stream (75 in all); whether 2027-28 entry is the B.Des. or the Integrated M.Des.; fees after the first year.
