NID Amravati is a National Institute of Design campus located in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, distinct from NID Amaravati in Andhra Pradesh. The campus was established as part of the NID national expansion programme to bring Institute of National Importance design education to Maharashtra beyond Mumbai and Pune. Admission is through NID DAT, with the same two-stage Prelims and Studio Test process used for all NID campuses.
The campus offers B.Des programmes in Product Design, Communication Design, and Textile and Apparel Design. Vidarbha is part of Maharashtra's cotton-producing heartland, and the broader Maharashtra design context includes significant craft traditions: Paithani silk saris from Paithan (Aurangabad), Warli tribal paintings from the Palghar-Nashik border region, Kolhapuri leather chappals, and Bidriware metalwork. These traditions provide textile and product design students with direct material and craft research opportunities.
The campus connects to NID's national network. Maharashtra's strong manufacturing base, including automotive components, consumer goods, textiles, and the Pune-Mumbai design and technology corridor, provides NID Amravati graduates with regional industry access alongside the pan-India placement support that comes with the NID institutional brand.
