It completely depends upon the cutoff marks for this year. It also depends upon how many marks you get in the first round. If you have a high score on the written test, a lesser score might get you a seat too. But, I believe a fairly high score in both the first and second round is needed to secure a seat in NID Ahmedabad. 

Hey Subham,

NID is a four year program. But if you join NID after your diploma then you will clear it under 3 years.

After diploma students join NID in 2 year. They have already study all the things in their diploma so they don't need to study that thinks agains.

Thank you!

Yep, there are other things to consider, which are not specifically related to product design, but to M.Des in these institutions, which might be factors worth considering.

One is that the fees at NID are very high compared to those at IITB. It looks like NID being autonomous, has to generate its own revenue, and one way of doing it is to jack up the fees. Second, there is no hostel accommodation for M.Des students at Ahmedabad campus. Third, there's no concept of teaching assistantship at NID, whereas the same is available at all IITs. Fourth, the M.Des course duration at NID is 2.5 years vs. 2 years at IITs. Fifth, the IITs, being primarily tech institutes, have vast tech resources in the same campus. For example, I notice that the Mechanical Engineering department is adjacent to IDC, IITB. That's important from an industrial design perspective.

It would be tough to tell you the exact number but Around 20,000 students appear every year for the National level Design Entrance exam for a total of 100 undergraduate seats. You can also check its cutoff & seat matrix with the given below link.
