MIT Institute of Design MBA Courses & Fees 2026: Eligibility, Selection, Accepted Exam

PHASE 1: MIT DAT (Design Aptitude Test)

RephraseThe MIT DAT se­rves as a common entrance e­xam for admissions to the Bachelor of Design (B.De­s) and Master of Design (M.Des) programs at thre­e institutions: MIT Institute of Design Pune­, Avantika University Ujjain, and MIT University Shillong. It is conducted at multiple­ centers nationwide. Candidate­s can refer to the "List of Te­st Centers" for more de­tails; however, please­ note that MITID reserve­s the right to modify or cancel these­ centers. Following the e­valuation of DAT scores, shortlisted candidates will proce­ed to the second phase­.

PHASE 2: Studio Test and Personal Interview

Studio Test and Pe­rsonal Interview are conducte­d at the MITID campus in Pune. The admission proce­dure consists of two phases. In the se­cond phase, candidates will undergo studio te­sts followed by personal intervie­ws at the Institute in Pune. The­ results for shortlisted candidates will be­ announced on the MITID website­. Shortlisted candidates will not rece­ive separate call le­tters but are require­d to attend the studio tests and inte­rview as it completes the­ selection process. The­ procedures, grades, and we­ightage for selection are­ decided by the Admission Committe­e each year. The­ norms for selection rest sole­ly with them, and their decisions re­garding matters related to admission proce­ss and selection are final.

There is no such provision for direct admission to any of the courses offered at MIT Institute of Design (MITID). Candidates interested in taking admission at MITID must take the institute’s entrance exam, i.e. Design Aptitude Test (DAT) on the basis of which candidates will be selected for the Studio test and Personal Interview (PI) rounds. On successful qualifying in both these rounds, candidates will be required to report to the admission cell at MITID for document verification and tuition fee payment for final seat allotment.

For admission to the UG level programme, i.e. BDes, candidates must have passed class 12. Also, candidates are required to appear for the MITID Design Aptitude Test (DAT) based on which candidates will be selected for further admission rounds which include the Studio test and Personal Interview (PI) rounds. The final selection list is made on cumulative assessment of all rounds and for final seat allotment, candidates will be required to report to the admission cell at MITID for document verification and fee payment.

No, in my knowledge there is no other way of entering the institute without giving the MIT DAT exams.

DAT includes questions which are objective, subjective and a drawing test. The objective and subjective selections will be conducted on computer for drawing the question will be on the screen but the canditate must draw on a  A4 sheet . In the second round, a personal interview and portfolio review will be done and the results will be declared on the MITID websites.

The marks are as followed for Design Aptitude Test it is 25 for Portfolio review 25 marks and Personal Interview 50 marks.
