NID Madhya Pradesh in Bhopal became an Institute of National Importance in November 2019. For 2027-28 its Class 12 entry is the 5.5-year Integrated M.Des.: 7 subjects, 79 seats (it ran a 4-year B.Des. with a one-year foundation up to 2026-27). Tuition is lower than at NID Ahmedabad. The DAT Prelims is common to all NIDs (one form, one fee after Class 12). For the M.Des., NID MP runs its own DAT Mains and needs its own application.

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
The course rank matters more than the overall rank. A college can be average overall and excellent for law.
Each list measures different things. NIRF scores teaching, research, results after graduation, how inclusive a college is, and its reputation.
Small gaps mean little. Ranks 12 and 18 are close; don't choose on a few places.
Not ranked isn't bad. Colleges choose whether to take part, and new or small ones often don't.
Couldn't confirm yet: campus address in Bhopal; mess charges; whether a 4-year B.Des. is still offered alongside the Integrated M.Des. for 2027-28 (the handbook lists only the Integrated M.Des.).
