Hello Stefanie,
There are 2 courses offered by NIFT:
1) Bachelor of design
2) Bachelor of fashion technology
First decide which course you want to go for.
There are 2 phases for getting into Bachelor of Design and 1 phase for getting into Bachelor of Fashion Technology.
Both are different courses offering different curriculum for building you as per job perspective.
Bachelor of Design consists of fashion design, knitwear design, fashion communication, leather design, textile design and accessory design.
For B.Design, you need to appear for CAT and GAT and if you are shortlisted then you are called for a situation test.
CAT Consist of drawing which you need to crack on the frequency of your creativity and GAT is general aptitude (English, maths, analytical and GK) and in situation test, you are asked to make a 3D model from the material provided to you.
For B.Fashion technology, there is only GAT.
You should keep checking the website as the forms are available every year in the month of October or late September. Do read the prospectus.
12th marks are not counted for admission until this academic year but if there are any changes, they will be mentioned in the prospectus.
Sample question paper is provided on the website which you help you get an idea about the exam.
Exam is not that tough but if you study, you will definitely get through.
Once the result is out, last year Common Merit Rank list is uploaded on the website, you will get admission on the basis of your Common Merit Rank (CMR).
Be focused, keep practicing.
You can refer to Arihant Publications book for GAT and for CAT, keep practicing drawings, human anatomy, posters, sequential drawings, depicting emotions through colors, perspective drawing helps a lot.
I wouldn't suggest any coaching classes.
Keep checking the website and read newspapers and watch ads and most of all, be updated.
