NIFT Mock Test 2024 - Candidates preparing for the NIFT entrance exam are recommended to take mock tests to improve their problem-solving and time-management skills. 

Note that the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) doesn't typically conduct any mock tests for the exam, but the candidate can take unofficial mock tests, like the ones conducted by the Symbiosis Institute of Design (SID) and coaching institutes.

When the NIFT exam was conducted in home-proctored mode during COVID-19, the National Institute of Fashion Technology conducted mock tests to help candidates get familiar with the application and the process. A special hotline was also created to help candidates check system readiness, like internet strength and reliability. 

However, with NIFT reverting to a computer-based test (CBT) mode, no mock tests were conducted in the last edition of the exam.

So, it is unlikely that any mock tests will be conducted for NIFT 2024 written exams. That being said if mock tests are actually conducted, the direct link will be provided on this page.

The Creative Ability Test CAT will be held offline, while the General Ability Test GAT will be conducted in a computer-based mode.

NIFT 2023 Mock Tests - FAQs

Go thorugh the frequently asked questions related to NIFT 2024 mock tests below:

Q:   Is it mandatory to take NIFT mock tests for exam preparation?

A:
Note that during COVID 19, the mock tests were used as a tool to help candidates get accustomed to the application and the process as the NIFT 2022 exam was held as a remote-based exam. Consequently, the mock tests were made mandatory, given candidates were appearing in the exam from their homes or a place of their picking. The mock tests in such circumstances helped to test internet strength, speed, reliability, check camera quality, for recording the test, etc. But in the last edition of the NIFT exam, the CAT and GAT written exams were conducted in a centre-based mode. Also, the National Institute of Fashion Technology didnt conduct any mock tests before the exam. So, we have to wait and watch to SEE if mock tests will be conducted at all for NIFT 2024 exam, and if they are conducted, whether they will be mandatory.

Q:   Are mock tests enough to prepare for NIFT 2024 exam?

A:
Mock tests are not meant to be alternative to holistic exam preparation for NIFT 2024. This means the candidate must first go through the text books, learn the concepts, solve the problem Sets given at the end of each chapter or from problem booklets, and take notes. Also, solve sample papers to develop ones problem-solving and time-management skills. The prime purpose of mock tests is to help the candidate get an exam-like experience and fix last minute gaps. So, mock tests are tools to improve ones chances of getting a few extra marks and thus improving ones chances of admission.

Q:   What kind of questions will be included in the NIFT 2024 mock tests?

A:
The mock tests will include representational questions, or questions similar to the ones asked in the entrance exam. So, by taking the mock tests the candidate will get to know about the types of questions asked, marking scheme, weighate, etc. Another important benefit the candidate can draw by solving sample paper is understand the question paper layout. For instance, the candidate will know which questions are placed where, the sequence of questions, whether the candidate needs to complete one section before moving to the next, etc. Another thing is mock tests may conduct fewer number of questions than the total number of questions asked in the NIFT exam.

Q:   Can I ask queries to the admission committee when taking the NIFT mock tests?

A:
The NIFT admission committee may take student queries in case the NIFT exam is conducted as a remote-proctored exam. In this case, special hotlines may be created to help the candidate get their system in place. But note that as of now, there is no notification yet whether the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) will conduct mock tests or not. The institute will release the relevant notification, if needed, on its official website, once the admission process gets underway. In the NIFT 2022 exam, when the exam was held in a remote-proctored mode, candidate were allowed to ask queries during the mock test.

Q:   Can I take mock tests of other exams to prepare for NIFT 2024 exam?

A:
Along with sample papers, mock tests are considered essential tools to prepare for the NIFT 2024 exam. However, considering the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) may or may not conduct mock tests for the NIFT 2024 exam, the candidate may conduct mock tests of other exams. For instance, the candidate may take mock tests conducted by the Symbiosis Institute of Design (SID). But it may be noted that the difficulty level of the SEED exam is not at par with the NIFT exam. So, while mock tests will help the candidate get an exam like ambience, it is not enough. It is therefore recommended that the candidate solves as many sample papers to improve ones problem-solving and time-management skills.

Q:   What is the best time to take NIFT 2024 mock tests?

A:
The mock tests are meant to be taken closer to the NIFT 2024 exam. This means you won't gain a lot of benefit if you start taking mock tests early in your exam preparation. Instead in the early stages, solve sample papers and previous years question papers. You can solve sample papers after completing a topic; for instance, pick all the relevant questions related to that topic and solve them. In the last few days leading up to the exam, you can start taking mock tests. The mock tests will help you plug last minute gaps and understand what the exam-day would look and feel like.
