This looks like pure gatekeeing and reeks of license raj. Why would NID do something like this? https://cdindia.org.in 

What proof do we have this “point” system works? What scientific soundness does it have?

“We will tell you who the real designers are”.

It’s a shame that an institution that was supposed to be measured on the relationships it builds and producing media is investing in gatekeeping the next generation of designers.

If you’re not privileged enough to get these points; sorry our industry is closed for you.

Indian designer community is diverse and includes your top rock stars to photoshop pros designing mass comm material in printing shops. You are no one to certify them.

Do we have anyone from the committee who can explain how this is not gatekeeping, elitist, licsense raj, and unethical?

When was the last time we saw a contribution from NID on information assymtry during a pandemic, whatsapp lynching, fake news, aadhaar and arogya Setu privacy issues?

All issues that need a deisgner. Won’t solve a fucking problem but will be the first one to gatekeeper
