Design India Collective | Uceed, Nid, Nata & Nift Coaching institute in Mumbai 65 Google reviewsPosted on Huzefa Nulwala23 March 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are extremely happy with our experience at Design India Collective coaching institute for Design training and NATA / UCEED entrance preparation. Our son has been attending classes here for the last four years, and the growth we have seen—both academically and in overall confidence—has been truly remarkable. What sets this institute apart is the personalized guidance given to each student. Nitin Sir goes beyond regular teaching and provides career counselling as a mentor, helping students understand their strengths and make informed decisions about design careers and college options. The curriculum is well‑structured, regularly updated, and complemented by extra activities such as college visits and hands‑on workshops, which gives students real exposure to the design world. These initiatives have helped our child develop a strong portfolio, creative thinking, and clarity about future goals. We have also seen the institute itself grow and evolve over the years, constantly improving its teaching methods and student support. The dedication and genuine interest the mentor shows in student’s progress makes a big difference. Highly recommended for parents looking for a serious, student‑focused coaching class for design entrance exams with long‑term mentoring and holistic development.Posted on Bhavna raman21 March 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a parent, I have seen a big change in my child after studying at DIC . He has become more responsible, more confident, and more clear about what he wants to do in life. I have also seen improvement in his design sense, practical thinking, communication .The environment here has helped him grow not just as a student, but as a person. Today, he is moving in the right direction in his career, and as a parent, that gives me a lot of happiness. We are very thankful to Nitin sir for guiding and supporting him throughout this journey.Posted on Total Locha19 March 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Studying at Design India Collective played a huge role in starting Totallocha.

DIC is a place where I learned everything from scratch and gained real hands on experience. It helped me understand how things actually work in the market and gave my portfolio a different and more meaningful touch. The environment always felt like a real workplace, full of opportunities to learn new skills, build networks, and explore materials through trips and outings. What made it even more special was the constant support from seniors and juniors who always encouraged us. And of course, Nitin Sir an amazing mentor whose story sessions and fun Thursday classes are memories I’ll always cherish. Even after leaving DIC 3 years back, he has always been just a call away whenever I needed guidance. Im truly grateful to him for always being our support system.
