here I am listing down few points please keep it in mind

1. The most common misconception among NID aspirants is that if you draw well, then you can crack NID, which is totally false. Though good sketching is essential, the questions are framed to judge a candidates creativity, imagination & visualization skills/ observation / general awareness etc. So, developing these skills are equally important.

 2. Be Creative - Creativity is a mysterious trait. Many people have tried to define creativity in their own ways but there is no single universally accepted definition. It is difficult to summarise in a few lines but we can say that creativity is the ability to come up with new, original ideas which are not conventional. It is the breaking away from the stereotype, routine, accepted set of thoughts and possessing a deeper insight to problem solving. In short, a creative person experiences rebirth everyday with his or her ideas.

3. Understand that your drawing & creative skills are useless if you are not able to present your thoughts in the exam in the limited amount of time. You stand to lose marks for the questions you fail to answer or which are left incomplete, it doesn't matter how good you are at your work. So speed is equally important.

 5. Don't practice in A3 size sketch books. Work in A4 size as that is normally the standard size of answer sheets in the examinations.

6. Don't mug up G.K. books but be more aware about what is happening around - Read the newspapers regularly. Increase your observation power. Try to find out about people who have genuinely contributed to the field of design, their innovative works etc. Read books / magazines & develop a genuine passion for your field.

7. Find your own deep and compelling reason to successfully clear NID. Motivate yourself. Work with enthusiasm & you will be amazed at your ideas & creations.

 8. In questions requiring drawing, always draw with a light hand first, doing mainly the outlining without the details. When you are satisfied with the proportions & the rough outline, you may finalize. You will save a lot of time that students normally waste in erasing & re-drawing.

 9. Practice more with dry mediums ( colours ), as they are convenient to use and take less time in exams.

10. Plan your time for school/college study & NID entrance preparation. Use your time effectively with a time table.

Hello Aspirant

Congratulations as you did what many could not do. As per your query, I would like to tell you that ut would be quite tough for you to grab a seat in NID but dont get diheartened. You could lokk for other options. Hope this answer helps you. All the best.

Hello,

National Institute of Design (NID) is an ‘Institute of National Importance’ as per the NID Act 2014 as well as an autonomous institute under the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP), Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India. It conducts Design Aptitude Test (DAT) for admissions to Bachelor of Design Programmes offered at NID Ahmedabad (main campus).

NID DAT exam, as a whole, consists of three stages –

• Written Exam (Prelims and Mains): Those candidates who qualify the written exam by clearing NID 2019 Cut-Off will be called for the studio test and personal interview.
• Studio Test: The second stage involves a studio test of 100 marks which includes drawing/sketching, modeling and group discussion.
• Personal Interview Round: In the third stage, an Interview is conducted immediately after the studio test at the same center.

A final NID Merit List of selected candidates is prepared after this round. Only the candidates who clear these three stages would get admission in the college.

No doubt your rank is really good and you stand really good chance in NID, but admission is based on not just one's rank (as you can see above). There will be PI and studio test too which you'd need to clear in order to be selected for admission. 

Thank you.

Hi Lakshmi.                                                                                           

Your daughter's rank in mains is 245 and she called for counselling so she have decent chance to get seat in good college but where that i am unable to tell because it doesn't decided after counselling

Hello Jihoo,

The basic idea behind counseling session conducted by NID is to sort the admission process based upon merit list. For the 1st merit list, the procedure will be completed before 15th June 2019, and for 2nd merit list, the procedure will start at the end of June 2019.

The counseling process for B.des and M.des primarily involves 3 steps;

1) Online consent by qualified candidates

2) Uploading of documents

3) The provisional offer of admission

NO, you don't have to pay anything.

All the best!
