Alongside placements, the cell also supports students through portfolio development sessions, resume guidance, mock interviews, and career-oriented workshops.

Dr. J. P. Sampath Kumar
Director, NID Assam.
At NID Assam, the design education is not just about learning skills, but about nurturing creativity, problem-solving, and a sense of responsibility toward society and industry. We believe that design has the power to transform lives, strengthen communities, and create sustainable solutions for the future. Our students are trained to think critically, innovate with empathy, and adapt to the evolving needs of global industries.
As we look forward to the placement and internship season, I take great pride in inviting companies, organizations, and studios to engage with our talented pool of designers. They represent the next generation of thinkers and doers who will contribute meaningfully to diverse domains of design practice.
Our institute offers three major disciplines of design:
- Communication Design – where students bring ideas to life through visual storytelling, digital media, branding, UI/UX, film, and animation.
- Industrial Design – where creativity meets functionality to develop products, systems, and experiences that are user-centred, sustainable, and innovative.
- Textile and Apparel Design – where tradition meets technology, with students creating fashion and textile solutions that balance aesthetics, functionality, and cultural identity.
We are confident that our students, through their rigorous education and hands-on projects, are industry-ready and prepared to contribute fresh perspectives to your organizations. Internships and placements are not only opportunities for our students to apply their learning but also provide valuable avenues for industry partners to engage with young talent who can bring creativity, innovation, and design-led thinking into their teams.
I warmly welcome you to partner with us in shaping the future of design by offering opportunities to our students. Together, we can foster a culture of collaboration and innovation that will positively impact industries, society, and the world at large.
Warm Regards!

The Placement Cell works continuously to build strong partnerships with industry, craft clusters, development organizations, and entrepreneurial ecosystems. We see placements not merely as career opportunities but as platforms for collaboration between young, talented designers and organizations seeking innovation, empathy, and design excellence.
Our graduates from Communication Design, Industrial Design, and Textile & Apparel Design bring with them not only technical proficiency but also cultural sensitivity, sustainability-driven approaches, and a spirit of experimentation. They are trained to work at the intersection of tradition and modernity, craft and technology, local relevance and global impact.
I invite recruiters, collaborators, and industry leaders to engage with the vibrant talent pool at NID Assam. Together, we can shape the future of design while creating opportunities that are meaningful, impactful, and future-ready.
