In Default Magento 2, the “Default” option is selected for the attribute set field when you create a new product. Checkout below image

If you want to change the default selection and set the “Custom attribute set” as the default selection in the Attribute Set field, you can use the below method. Before that learn
[**How to Create New Attribute Sets in Magento 2**](https://magecomp.com/blog/create-new-attribute-sets-magento-2/)

Let’s get started,
## Steps to Set Product Custom Attribute Set as Default in Magento 2:
**Step 1:** Create **di.xml** at the below path
**app\code\Vendor\Extension\etc\adminhtml**

And add the following code
```
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
    <preference for="MagentoCatalogUiDataProviderProductFormModifierAttributeSet" type="VendorExtensionUiDataProviderProductFormModifierAttributeSet"></preference>
</config>
```

**Step 2:** Create **AttributeSet.php** in the following path
**Vendor\Extension\Ui\DataProvider\Product\Form\Modifier**

And add the code as follows
```
<?php

namespace VendorExtensionUiDataProviderProductFormModifier;

class AttributeSet extends MagentoCatalogUiDataProviderProductFormModifierAttributeSet
{
    public function modifyData(array $data)
    {
	// 4 is default attribute set id in my case
        if($this->locator->getProduct()->getAttributeSetId() ==4){
	// Replace it with your custom attribute set id whatever you want to set
            $attributesetId=10;
        }else{
          //This is for already created product we are getting previously saved value
            $attributesetId=$this->locator->getProduct()->getAttributeSetId();
        }

        return array_replace_recursive(
            $data,
            [
                $this->locator->getProduct()->getId() => [
                    self::DATA_SOURCE_DEFAULT => [
                        'attribute_set_id' => $attributesetId
                    ],
                ]
            ]
        );
    }
}
```

**Result:**
