A pivotal concept in The National Education Policy for Higher Education is Interdisciplinary, Cross-Platform learning, and this is precisely the strongest feature of the NICC curriculum and course structure. NICC is a pioneer in this pedagogic system and is the first Indian Design Institution to embrace this policy which it has implemented in a unique highly industry-integrated manner for almost two decades.

STEAM Education

The STEM model of education is a root pedagogic system in schools worldwide, but current studies have shown  that it is inadequate in providing the right framework for truly creative professionals - particularly in the various fields of Design which are central to innovative evolution in Industry. There is, therefore, an intense global movement to include Arts & Design ('A'in STEAM ) as part of Integrated Curriculum systems. NICC is the first Indian Institution to have implemented this concept in its continuously evolving, industry-connected development of pedagogy for almost 2 decades. The essence of the STEAM model is expressed well by Robin Mathew: "Design is where Science & Art break even."
