Design Entrance Exam

Sorry. NIFT entrance test is closed in the month of January.
All the best for next year.

Hi Pushpa, You can appear for NID entrance in 2019 as the entrance test has already taken place for 2018 batch. Also, for NID, you should know that your age should be maximum 20 years while applying for a UG course. NIFT is also a premium college for design courses but again, you cannot appear for 2018 batch as you have missed the entrance exam. Maximum age to be eligible for NIFT is 23 years. So, you still have a chance to apply for the UG course next year. Also, I would suggest you to check the PGD courses in design rather than pursuing another UG course.

Hi Lakshmi,
NIFT offers B.Des in Fashion Design, Leather Design, Accessory Design, Textile, Knitwear design, Apparel Production and Fashion Communication. To answer your other question, no, you don't have to opt for science to qualify for NIFT. You can opt for any stream. All that you need to appear for NIFT exam is your design aptitude.

Books you can refer to for design aptitude test (B. Des):
1) NIFT (B. Des) Entrance Books & Test Series by Afaindia (Author)
2) NID (B. Des) Entrance Books and Test Series by Trend Academy (Author)
3) NIFT/NID/IIFT Entrance Examination 2017 by Dharmendra Mittal (Author)

No. One cannot get admission in NIFT without writing the entrance exam. If you're interested in Diploma course then you just need to clear a personal interview. Otherwise for Bachelors programme you ought to sit for the exam in order to get admission.

Hi Gautami. For Bachelors programme entrance in NIFT, your school grades does't matter at all. All you need to do is get through the entrance exam with the best possible rank.

No, it is not compulsory to take up Science in class 12. She can take up any of the streams in Class 12 (Arts, commerce, or Science). She should take up arts, as that will be better suited to her future designs. For admission to NID, there is an entrance exam which she will need to clear, and also needs to clear her class 12 examinations successfully. Regards.
