Hi Akash,
You need to qualify NIFT only if you are appearing for NIFT Institute. For IIJ, there is no entrance exam as such. You can directly apply to the college for admissions.

Leather designing is a field of real hard work, especially of physical strength.
The most important capability in this field is to have a brain to think beyond. As leather is something very difficult to work with, many a time people find themselves out of ideas while designing stuff off leather. So, it's very important to have the capability to think out of the box and make something new while never running out of ideas and designs.
Apart from this, yes it requires the other basic qualities.

Hi Meenakshi,
That is a design aptitude test which is conducted by various design colleges like NIFT, MIT Institute of Design, etc., as a part of their admission process. You can pursue B.Des/M.Des course in fashion design, accessory design, leather design, textile design, fashion communication and so on after qualifying this exam.

Of course, leather designing is one of the major course under fashion designing. You come across so many things in your daily life, which are made of leather like footwear, jackets, carry bags and handbags, belts and a lot in clothing as well and minor things hard to imagine. All these are to be designed by a leather designer. It may sound very basic but leather designing is really tough and demands a very creative brain.
