NIFT, NID exam preparation
I am in FC and the fee for my course is Rs 25000 per semester and there are 8 semesters over 4 years in a UG course. The UG courses offer B.Des and B.tech degrees.
NIFT has Undergraduate and Postgraduate courses. I DON’T KNOW ABOUT PREPARATION FOR PG COURSES. Undergraduate courses are for people fresh out of school. At least thats the minimum requirement. We do have students who finished grad but decided to give in to the artsy/design bug in them and joined a UG NIFT course.
You could enter the technology stream or the design stream. To all people confused between engineering and NIFT b.tech: Doing a technical course at NIFT doesn’t make you the head of a petrochemicals company or give u an internship at IBM. It gives you knowledge about the garment industry. After the course you could do management and enter apparel companies like Levi’s, Bombay Dyeing, all kinds of fashion imports and exports, Tommy Hilfiger.. whatever.. But NIFT is not IIT. So if you do a technical course at NIFT, it is good if you are in the fashion mood.
Ok, let’s talk of Bachelor in Design at NIFT. For the entrance exam for the design stream there is a written test + situation test.
The written test is different for students who opt for the fashion technology stream an dthose who opt for fashion design stream. I gave the exam for fashion design.
The written test has maths (10th level, basics), aptitude, logical ability, GK, design very simple stuff u dont need to prepare for.
It has 3 designing Qs, if I remember correctly. Each Q has choices.More…
In one you have to make a black n white sketch.
One of the two choices in this Q was a flyover when I sat for the exam.
I think it was testing your sense of PERSPECTIVE
The other one was to design a photo frame or a party invitation.
I think they just wanted to see AESTHETICS in this.
The last was to design a product.
One of the choices was a book rack.
I attempted this one and put silly lights all over the rack.
in this they wish to see your PRACTICAL sense, APPLICATION of design, INNOVATIVE ideas, USEFULNESS of ideas.
You sIt for the situation test if u get through the written exam.
This is held at NIFT centres.
You are given a set of things like fevicol, needle, thread, plastic sheets, straws, paper, ice cream sticks, aluminium foil.
Out of this stuff you have to make something.
We had to design a mall.
In the situation test they judge ur sense of 3 D, exploitation of the property of materials provided, INTEGRITY of your design.
They see how well it holds together, if you have considered various aspects such as storeys, fire exits, sections, facade of the mall. The whole thing should not look like its about to collapse.
for NID exam
You should know a bit of plans and elevations…
We had to make a plug from 3 different angles. So you should be able to visualize small objects to the tiniest detail. PERSPECTIVE is mega important. Rendering techniques such as shading the screw to make it look metallic is an added advantage.
Another object that could be asked is a stapler.
In case ur sense of perspecive is shaky, practice of isometry would help. Just take an object and draw it keeping all the vertical lines at 90 degrees to the horizontal, while making all the other lines at 30 degrees, or 45 degrees or 60 degrees. It is a set square and ruler pencil thing. practice would help.
You should know about colour - primary, secondary
This is not colour mixing as n light but as in pigments - paints
So you should know mixing what gives what
We were also asked to write a passage on an image which I later discovered was Van Gogh’s starry night. So you should be able to explain imagery in terms of emotions, feeling conveyed.
In the nid exam timing is critical.
if you get thru u go for the interview

hi mam, i think u will not be remembering me but i have contacted u before for the situation test help. thanx for helping me those days , mam i lost pthe war in nift entrance test only due to my badluck by choosing an unbalanceable stuff design and finally loosing the war. i have just completed 3 years diploma in textile technology from a government college , i also appeared for the btech entrance exam and well secured normal ranking of 658 all over UP through UPTU and will get admission in 2nd year of btech in top private colleges but not in government college. as i have interest in compuer science but equally or more interested for nift now i am duch dilemma wht to do go for btech or reprepare for nift my heart always say for nift but sumtimes i lose my confidence due to less sketching ability. mam i know this is my personal matter and no one can suggest better than me but whn i came to know that u also belongs to lucknow i freely contacted u for this matter. mam pls suggest wht to do will practice make my sketching good i am scared sum wht mam suggest me one thing how to reprepare again and pls tell me in this blank year how it will be to join nift 1 year certificate programmes that are going to commence recently i saw ur result on nift web congratz for tht in wait of ur rply regards & thnks divya
July 6th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
hi.I need some help regardint nift/nid.If anyone can guide me plz ..help..
July 7th, 2008 at 4:40 am
Hey divya,
Option 1 – Work, use your diploma in textile technology, 1 year later give the NIFT exam again
Option 2 – Join your btech course, give NIFT exam again next year. If you clear it, great! If you don’t clear it, continue with btech to finish it.
Option 3- Do a 1 year NIFT course, if the combo of 1 year NIFT course+ textile design diploma will get you a good job. i dunno abt it..so u’ll have to find out on our own.
The choice depends entirely on ur inclination and future plans. I cant be of help there.
Good thing about NIFT is that u don’t have to drop 1 year to prepare. You have to smart abt NIFT exam preparation. A little sketching practice will help – 3 D shapes, perspective drawing and human figures
July 8th, 2008 at 9:18 am

Hi Shivani,

August 25th, 2008 at 12:43 am
hey shivani,
i wish u had fiolled nift forms without quittin grad. quit only when u get thru nift for sure. MJ
September 9th, 2008 at 2:09 am
hello,i m prep for NID09,can u provide sum stuff to practice…maybe ques. papers..?
September 9th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Hi Malvika,
I am new to India and would be joining a course next year. I have been a visitor to your blog for couple of months.
I want to get into fashion design/model. Is there a course that combines both?
I am pretty tall and was wondering if it is considered negative in Indian society that would hamper my admission into these institutes?
Thanks
Jenny
September 11th, 2008 at 3:33 am
Hi Jenny, there is no course that combines both design and modelling. howevr, while you are pursuing your course at NIFT, it is easy for u to work as a model. Get in touch with ELITE modelling agency. some friends of mine have been handling study and modelling together. NIFT will love you for college ramp walks. i am tall as well, its admired and not considered negative in Indian society. thats a funny misconception. if you are a foreigner, you will land up with a lot of modeling opportunities in India. This country makes a lot of money selling fairness creams!
September 11th, 2008 at 3:34 am
hey pop, i dont hav any Q papers
September 12th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Hi Malvika,
I am new in India but can’t comprehend why tall girls would be admired here and why fairness cream would be a good selling item? Mostly, I don’t see very fair people and tall people here so why would they like to get a fair cream and use very tall models? Wouldn’t you want to promote and admire people who look like you?
Jenny
September 14th, 2008 at 4:12 am
hey jen, figure it out for urself! thats how facts stand
September 16th, 2008 at 10:21 am
hii !!!MALVIKA .. I read about nift.

But my mathematical skills are not upto the mark… which are quite required for passing the entrance exam.. Can u pls suggest me some good coaching institutes name in delhi so that i can clear th exam with flying colors… Waiting for ur reply… Thanks
October 9th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
Hi Neeharika,
I don’t know of any coaching institutes or about the details of PG courses. I strongly suggest you talk to the current students/ seniors/ alumni of the NIFT PG course. You’ll easily find them on orkut.

hi charan, I dunno about PG exam. as for accessory design, no special prep as the UG Design entrance exam is common for all the depts that fall in the category..
December 8th, 2008 at 11:27 am
Hello mam
i m in class 12. I have just filled in nift form for B.Ftech. Can u plz tell me about some book for its preparation. Secondly, can u also tell me about how much percentage of marks would fetch me a good rank.
Thirdly about its future prospect n whether its better than a conventional btech course from a NIT or any other good college.
I know dat u were from des. but i m sure u can help me out. Plz reply mam.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:13 am
hi nitish.. an undergraduate tech course from NIFT is very very different from an ordinary tech course as it is wholly related to the apparel industry, garment construction and production. no light, speed and sound. so make an informed decision. talk to tech seniors at nift abt whr they end up.
December 12th, 2008 at 5:34 am
what about the previous year or sample paper for a bit preparation of B.FTech in apparel production
December 22nd, 2008 at 12:36 pm

hey i want to knw about cat of nift ug…
if we get to make scenes like market scene…bus stands etc..
how many no. of figures il b required…
February 3rd, 2009 at 12:15 am
2 akansha:
Market scene .. bus stands.. i am figuring.. since both are populated places, you would have to make many figures .. getting on and off the bus, not just standing.. a test of ur perspective, body postures, observations at a marketplace/bus stand.. it’s your wish how to choose to do it..
a market-scene can be enlivened with lots of bargaining.
i suggest you put some ’spirit’ of the place into your sketch.. even if you make few people and aren’t so sure of your hand

February 9th, 2009 at 1:43 am
I did my NIFT GAT and CAT test only yesterday with preparation only with the help of NIFTGURU online, n a little bit of practice. I am terribly regretting that i did not do any serious browsing into the matter and that i missed this useful site of yours. one of the questions was about filling up a hexagonal grid, using colours, depicting the essence of any 1 of the given 3 emotions, which i had no idea of. it carried thirty marks and i forgot to underline the topic i chose to depict.
the other 2 questions wer attempted confidently, though.
do you think i’ll lose the entire 30 marks for a simple flaw?
February 9th, 2009 at 1:46 am
what percent of CAT will account for the written exam?
February 9th, 2009 at 1:50 am
Can you provide me with the necessary details as to where i should do my coaching in case i have to repeat the NIFT exam, for the best result?
PS:Sorry to have posted my queries in different posts

If u dont get thru fashion college.. at leats u will graduate to 2nd year of ur grad course wherever u join it.

Hi,
I’ve been shortlisted this year for NIFT as well as Srishti, and reading your blog really helped answering my queries regarding the Situation Test.
At Srishti, though, they have a Portfolio Review as well as a Personal Interview. I was wondering if you had any tips for portfolio presentation, as those would be REALLY helpful at this point.
Thanks.

@beena: wow .. NIFT guru.. 1 year postal shit n stuff.. lol. i dont think NIFT needs that much prep. the written test is damn standard. the designing paper in the written test needs you to learn sketching and learn a thing or two about creative design over 2 weeks. and for situation test u need 1 or 2 model-making practice sessions.
May 4th, 2009 at 1:21 am

@sanjana: no
May 9th, 2009 at 9:58 am
plzzzz reply me ma’am…!!!!
May 9th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
@ beena: to crack NIFt u don’t need to know about fashion. u need to know about basic design - designing for target customer, attention to detail and ergonomics, stuff like shapes and colours, perspective drawing, sketching objects, sketching human figures. Gotta be imaginative. for the written test, gotta know some basic GK and math. If you get through the two written tests (one is general and one is design-based), then you can read my blog on the situation test to see how to crack that.

May 22nd, 2009 at 11:26 pm
hi malvika ma’am’
this is Archna Ramchandran.i had attended your nift mock situation class held on 19th april.my rank in nift is 251.do you think i have any chance of getting in FC?i really want to do FC and nothing else..out of delhi is not a problem..im in a dilemma…i have got a call from Symbiosis insti of design pune for the studio test on june 1st…n that is costing a lot..please guide me regarding nift interview n whether i should go to pune..i dont have anyone to advise me so could only think of you..
thank you..
May 22nd, 2009 at 11:58 pm
hi archna,
the first seats to be filled up are FC and FD. so calculate total no. of FD seats in delhi n bombay+ total no of FC seats in delhi. is it greater than your rank, 251? if so, u stand a chance. u will have to take the risk, maybe lose some money.
thing is FC takes u directly to fashion (magazines, shoots, ramp shows, WLIFW etc). Symbiosis will take u into design. Both will lead to graphic studios and advertising agencies, i am guessing. If the symbiosis course teaches more video, animation and website coding stuff, then you stand to become technically stronger through that course for short/long film industry. I don’t think symbiosis will make a stylist or fashion journalist out of you. So sit and think, what is it that you would liek to be doing everyday as work - fashion biz or the stuff symbiosis leads to. And decide.
Let’s see, if you forego symbiosis and dont get FC.. then? Then we are in a royal soup. Becoz knitwear design, accessory design is entirely different stuff. I think you should take symbiosis and be ready to lose some money.
May 23rd, 2009 at 12:09 am
@archna:hw do u know ur nift ranking?d result isint out as yet.
May 23rd, 2009 at 12:25 am

Is NIFT the best option for FD? or symbiosis?
May 23rd, 2009 at 12:28 am
@ meena: in FD nothing beats NIFT of course, in india. Check the alumni list.
May 23rd, 2009 at 12:47 am

u r the onli source i have…………………….
May 25th, 2009 at 1:17 am
@ shruti: it’s very funny that you should not be interested in fashion, even to be doing a technical course of NIFT. of course, if your rank falls within the total no. of seats, u will get through.
To all people confused between engineering and NIFT b.tech: Doing a technical course at NIFT doesn’t make you the head of a petrochemicals company or give u an internship at IBM. It gives you knowledge about the garment industry. After the course you could do management and enter apparel companies like Levi’s, Bombay Dyeing, all kinds of fashion imports and exports, Tommy Hilfiger.. whatevr.. But NIFT is not IIT. So if you do a technical course here, it is good if you are in the fashion mood.
May 25th, 2009 at 5:58 am
Hi Mam,
My daughter’s rank is 807 and mentioned that you are in waitlist. So is there any chance of getting a seat nift B.des ?

hey malivika!!!
went to nift today to enquire about the no. of seats and the centres which are good after delhi.they told me that 15 seats are reserved and the other 15 are available for general category. delhi centre is the most sort after centre. they told me that almost all nift centres are the same.there is same curriculum and same exam papers. i asked why delhi is popular and he answered coz its the oldest branch of nift thats makes it so popular.he told that banglore, hyderabad,mumbai and chennai are also good.he told me about the new nift centre opened at himachal he told that one and the centre at bhpal are coming up well.hoping this information will be helpful to all the blog readers….
