• I had applied for NID, IIT IDC, MIT ADT, BITS, KIIT and NATA as well. I got accepted in all the pvt colleges I applied to except the govt colleges(NID & UCEED). I chose SID because of it's course structure and renowned reputation. • I couldn't make it to NID because I got AIR 258 and there are only 45 seats all over India for general students and I couldn't get IIT due to the reservation system :( • To get into SID, first you need to pass the SEED entrance exam which is of 60 marks and I had scored 43. Then after passing that you have to submit your Portfolio and prepare for a PRPI task and personal interview. After that there are 3 merit lists and you'll secure a seat there if you pass all the three.

• The faculty-to-student ratio is 1:3. Like there are 220 students in my batch and we have 6 sections with 2 sections sitting in one classroom. Every class have 4-5 faculty members to guide and supervise every student. You can go to them anytime you want and you'll get the guidance and support you want. • We have jury exams at the end of each semester (in design schools you don't have written exams, you have jury). So, you have jury exams which is not very difficult if you actually know your work.
