NIFT Scores

Hello Anirudh,
Here are some of the key points to crack NIFT entrance exam :
1) Practice is the key to success. Try to sketch almost anything and everything you come across.
2) Browse through various newspapers, magazines and online sites.
3) Take ideas from various advertisements, posters, banners etc., you come across.
4) Keep your eraser away from you while practising.
5) It'll help your lines become more bold and confident.
6) Give importance to detailing where ever required, like the face of a human figure or the humans outfits etc.
7) Try to master the skills of human illustration. Concentrate more in proportions, form etc.
8) Calligraphy skills come handy in posters, banner design, etc. Learn and practice different styles of lettering as they can come handy.
9) Stick to the prescribed syllabus of the NIFT entrance exam.
10) While sketching first make a light sketch and later darken the drawing once you are confident about it. This helps you save time erasing mistakes.
In the Examination Hall:
1) Please use quality colour pencils. Best and economic option would be faber castle colour pencils with at least 24 shades in it.
2) Planning is very important. First plan your ideas and then start on with sketching.
3) Start off with simple ones like logo design or t-shirt design. Go for the complicated ones like scene drawing later.
4) Please, Plan your time and try to complete the paper.
All the best.
