<p>No, NID Bangalore does not offer direct admission. For admission to the institute, candidates must take the Design Aptitude Test (DAT) Prelims and Mains. The M.Des programme at NID Bangalore requires passing the NID DAT in order to be admitted. As a result, NID Bangalore does not offer direct admission.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
