Dear student,
If you're passionate about design and have a decent JEE Main rank, the choice between
ISDI Mumbai (Product Design)
and
NIT Rourkela (B.Tech in Industrial Design)
comes down to your goals.
ISDI Mumbai is a pure design institute focused on creativity, innovation, and hands-on learning. The program emphasizes real-world projects, portfolio building, and exposure to Mumbai’s design industry. It’s best for those who want a career in creative design , user experience, or product innovation. Admission is based on the ISDI Challenge , not JEE.
NIT Rourkela
, on the other hand, offers a design-oriented B.Tech that blends engineering and product design. It’s a good fit if you're looking for a
technical degree with a design element
. The course includes CAD, UX, manufacturing, and product development. Admission is through
JEE Main and JoSAA
, with strong placements and a top-tier campus.
Your decision should align with whether you see yourself as a
designer first
or an
engineer with design skills
.
Take your time
There are several factors to consider when comparing NIT Rourkela CSE and IIT Hyderabad Biomedical Engineering:
Placements
IIT Hyderabad: Has a high placement rate, with the highest package recorded at INR 90 LPA and an average package of INR 22.5 LPA in 2024. Some sources suggest the CSE department has an average package of INR 29.68 LPA. Top recruiters include Google, Microsoft, IBM, Capgemini, and Amazon.

IIT vs NIT Tag
IITs have a prestigious reputation, known for academic excellence and strong alumni networks. IIT graduates often secure higher placements and easier access to higher education opportunities abroad.
NITs are also excellent institutions, offering strong programs and opportunities, although they might not carry the same brand recognition as the older IITs.
Ultimately, the "best" option is subjective and depends on individual priorities and goals. It is recommended that your friend research both programs thoroughly, consider their interests, and perhaps consult with professors or professionals in both fields to make an informed decision.
