NID DAT 2027 registration is open. Students who want to apply for design programmes at the National Institute of Design (NID) must submit the online form by 11:59 pm on November 30, 2026. The date is the same for the B.Des/Integrated Pathway and M.Des applications listed on the official NID admission portal.

The deadline covers the 5.5-year Professional Education M.Des (Integrated Pathway)/B.Des at NID Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar and Bengaluru. It also covers M.Des at these three campuses, NID Madhya Pradesh and NID Haryana. The portal has separate signup links for the B.Des/Integrated Pathway and M.Des forms.

What NID DAT 2027 applicants should check

Choose the programme and campus you want before starting the form.
Read the B.Des/Integrated Pathway or M.Des admissions handbook on the official NID portal for the exact eligibility rules.
Keep your personal details, academic records, photograph and required certificates ready in the format asked by NID.
Save the application number and payment receipt after submitting the form.

NID has listed the B.Des/Integrated Pathway and M.Des application links on its official 2027-28 admission page. The page also says that submitting an application does not by itself confirm that the student meets the eligibility conditions. Applicants should check the relevant handbook before paying the fee.

What to Do Next

Open the official NID portal, select B.Des/Integrated Pathway or M.Des, and finish the form before November 30. Read the handbook first, then keep the receipt safe after payment.

Students should not wait for the final evening to upload documents. If the portal shows an error, use the contact details given on the official page and keep a screenshot of the issue.
