Design

Hi,
I may be the best person to answer this question as I have been through the NIFT interview. It was not that interesting as I expected but, was really entertaining.
It started with:
1) Tell your educational background
2) Why did you decide to switch from (your field) to fashion?
3) How are you going to align your previous education with fashion industry?
4) How pursuing Master from NIFT will boost your career?
6) What line of career would you choose after the completion of the course? I was well prepared for all the above questions so answered quickly with confidence. Then suddenly interviewer asked, Do you watch movies? I said yes, I am really fond of watching movies and Fashion is my favorite movie (In excitement or you can say to impress), and then I was dead with the cross questions because I had no idea about it apart from Priyanka Chopra and Kangana Rannaut.
He asked about the director, producer, costume designer and so on. I was speechless and later I admitted the truth.
He started laughing and said don't worry I won't cut your numbers.
So, overall It was a great experience and I watched Fashion too.

NID is known as one of the best colleges to pursue design. Relying totally on coaching centers to crack NID entrance exam will not be a wise decision.
Being creative is the key to crack NID entrance exam, and for that, you don't have to rely on coaching classes. I would suggest that instead of paying high fees to the coaching centres, you must go on a tour or travel around. If not that, just observe the things around you. Go for a walk every morning and observe the details and designs of the things around. Wherever you go, try to observe and see the things from your perspective. Try to analyse the things and think about them.
Still, I would like to justify your query by suggesting you few of the best coaching institutes across India for NID preparation:
