IIAD Entrance Exam

The IIAD DAT paper includes:

• Visual and creative thinking questions

• Drawing-based problem-solving

• Observation and design sensitivity

• Analytical and logical reasoning

• Situational responses

Candidates are selected for IIAD UG and PG programmes on the basis of the following:

• Performance in the IIAD Design Aptitude Test (iDAT) or iMAT (for management programmes)
• Performance in the Studio Test/Personal Interview
• Portfolio review (for some programmes)

The process is similar, but PG applicants (M.Des / MBA) are assessed using iMAT instead of iDAT, and emphasis may be placed more on portfolio, work experience, or interview performance.
