This is the first stage and is conducted at various test centres across India. Candidates should note that appearing for the DAT Prelims or being ranked in the shortlist does not guarantee automatic entitlement to admission.

Stage 2: NID Design Aptitude Test (DAT) Mains

Candidates shortlisted after the DAT Prelims are invited to appear for the second stage at one of the NID’s campuses in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru or Gandhinagar.

Hi Bhuvanshakthi,

Only those candidates can apply to appear for NID DAT who have passed or will appear for higher secondary (10+2) qualifying examinations in the admission year from any recognised board of education such as CBSE, IB, ICSE, or their equivalent. Also, applicants have to be up to 20 years of age on or before June 30 of the admission year (relaxable by three years for those belonging to reserved category). 

Thus, you cannot appear for NID DAT this year because neither you have passed nor are appearing in 12th class exams in 2018. You can apply once you fulfill the academic and age requirements prescribed by the Institute.
