NIFT Entrance Exam Syllabus

The NIFT entrance exam is considered moderately difficult. The level of difficulty of the exam depends on a student's strengths and preparation. Since seats are limited and competition is high, even average questions feel tougher due to the pressure.

• B.Des exam tests creativity, design aptitude, observation, logical reasoning, and general awareness, which can be challenging and requires practice and skills like creativity, good observation, design thinking, etc.

• B.F.Tech exam has more focus on quantitative ability, reasoning, and English, making it closer to an aptitude test. Mathematics is compulsory for B.F.Tech.

• M.Des, M.F.Tech and M.FM, demand a basic understanding of the fundamentals of design.

For students who regularly practice sketching, mock tests, GK, and reasoning questions, the exam is quite manageable. NIFT is not about rote learning but about creative thinking and time management.

NIFT is not only one of the most competitive entrance exams in the country, with a large number of applicants, but it is also among the toughest. The syllabus for the NIFT 2024 exam is quite vast, and most of the questions can range from medium to difficult.

So, to prepare for an exam like NIFT 2024, you need to have enough time in your hands.

If you are only beginning your NIFT 2024 now, i.e., with only a few months left for the exam, you need to pace your preparation accordingly. For instance, it will be foolhardy to try to complete the entire syllabus from the get go, because that you will put unnecessary pressure on yourself and things can only get complicated.

Instead, what you can do is make a list of high-scoring, easy-to-prepare topics. First master these topics as fast as you can. Make a study plan if you need to. Once you are done with these topics, you can move to the next category of topics, and continue this strategy until you complete the entire topic.

If you are not able to complete a topic because you are finding it too difficult, don’t panic and waste time jostling with it for long. Leave it for the time being, and come back to tackle it later if you have time in your hands.

Do solve sample papers and previous years NIFT papers as much you can.
