    Hey there aspiring students! It has been observed that the NID exam 2026 question paper did not include any questions linked to the general ability test and therefore does not contain any part A questions. The NID 2026 exam solely included questions from the drawing/sketching section. Although NID is famous for its experimental format and uncertainty, we cannot say for sure that the NID 2027 Exam will not contain any Part-A based questions and therefore it is smart to prepare for both keeping drawing and design aptitude as main focus.
