NSD Placement 2026: Highest Package, Average Package, Top Recruiters

The National School of Drama (NSD) does not offer direct placements or internships. However, students often find opportunities in theatre and media due to the institute's strong reputation and alumni network, which includes renowned actors such as Anupam Kher, Irfan Khan, Om Puri, Neena Gupta, and Naseeruddin Shah. While the average placement package reported last year was 3 lakhs, the focus is on skill development and practical training.

Approximately 94% of students reportedly secured placements through their own efforts, with around 90% obtaining internships. The institute emphasizes exposure and skill enhancement, preparing students to independently secure roles in theatre, TV shows, and films.
