Developing your sketching and visualization skills is crucial for design questions because your designs are an obvious reflection of your technical proficiency and creativity.
Practice depicting everyday objects, composing dramatic scenes, and sketching human figures with accurate proportions and perspective. Try experimenting with shading, hatching, and line quality to add depth and dimension to your work to make it more realistic. Keep in mind that simplicity is essential; keep your drawings tidy and eye-catching because a well-drawn concept frequently has a greater impact than one that is too complex.

Hello,
For admission to Ajeenkya D.Y. Patil University (ADYPU), you must score a minimum of 50% in your 12th grade for the general category. However, ADYPU conducts its own entrance exam, known as the ACET ADYPU Common Entrance Exam, which includes a studio test and a personal interview. So, you would have a chance for admission based on how well you score in the entrance exam.
Hope it helps!!!
