Does NID have established, official exchange programs with any schools in English-speaking countries (they must have some already, right?)?

For all practical purposes, students are usually limited to exchange programs with official exchange partners. Otherwise, you have to convince a school in a foreign country to take you on for a semester or year on your own merits, and you may have to pay their full tuition fees as well, which (in the UK and especially in the US) can quickly become extraordinary expensive.

Presuming that NID already has established partners, why don’t you post the names of those partners here? Mostly, someone on Typophile will have direct (or at least second-hand) experience with the school(s), and can offer you specific feedback.

Even though I had never seen or heard anything about it prior to this past school year, SVA always has third year exchange students. I don’t know that they’re actually exchanged, but we certainly take a lot of foreigners for a semester at a time. In the past year I’ve seen Israelis, Norwegians and French exchange students, for whatever it’s worth I don’t see why India would be excluded, although dan_reynolds is right. It may require a little investigation...
