Hi Saurabh,

The sample papers have been provided officially by National Institute of Design (NID). But the institute has yet not provided answers for the questions. We will be providing the solutions as soon as NID releases the answer key.

You can refer to the nearby book stores for the same. If they provide sample papers with answers for NIT DAT entrance if not available online.

Good Luck.

Hi,

First of all let me clear one concept. NID is primarily a design institute and the courses are oriented like that. Courses are not segregated as per the background. So first you have to decide which area of design you are interested in. These courses are not to be taken according to what is suitable because suitable may mean career for some, interest for some or something else and that no one can decide for you except yourself.

Engineering graduates generally opt for product design, graphic design, digital design, information design, strategic design management etc. These are some specializations that may work for you if you want to match your engineering background with the design course.  But the basic thing is that you need to check the syllabus and the course design of each specialization before you join in. Other than NID, there is CEED also that you could check out. 

Hi Karthik,

Unfortunately, you are on a wrong platform to ask these kinds of questions.

We would like to say, to ask queries related to your career. 

Not these stuffs.

Regards.

Hi Akansha,

Admission to all of the programmes will be granted on the basis of a two-stage competitive exam, comprising a Prelims stage and a Mains stage.

NID DAT (prelims) will primarily evaluate each candidate on the following abilities-

• Analysis
• Creativity
• Knowledge
• Visualisation
• Comprehension

NID DAT Prelims will consist of following two parts- 

Part I: Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) marked out of 70 points. This part will have questions with one or more than one correct answers. The responses of this part will be recorded on an Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheet and evaluated digitally.

Part II: Subjective questions marked out of 30 points. The responses are to be provided in visual and/or written formats.

NID DAT Mains will consist of following two parts- 

Based on the scores obtained in prelims, eligible candidates will have to appear for DAT mains.

It consists of following 2 parts-

1. Studio Test:

This may consist of tests in different formats such as drawing/sketching, hands-on model making, group discussions, etc. This test will be marked out of 100 points and will be conducted in English. 

2. Interviews:

The interviews will be conducted separately for each discipline, immediately after the  Studio Test,at the same centre. 

Apoorva at your age it is quite common to have diverse interests. History is broadly a humanites  subjects  and there are plenty of general BA/ BA hon courses dealing with this. Culture is manifested in music, arts, performance arts and each one of them have different courses. And human mind is dealt with in disciplines as diverse as neurology to psycology.  Culture also deals with issues like indian culture or western culture which are best dealt with in sociology or anthropology.

But interestingly even the course for which you are currently geting coached for also deals with each of these domains. Design is  good way to engage with all these issues. NID has a facinating programme in textiles which if you are so inclined could lead you to deal with  all these issues that you highlighted. So  take it easy enjoy the coaching as much as you can.

There is  also liberal arts, a new way of looking at education being offered by institutues like Ashoka, Flame and O P jindal. You can look at them as well if you want  a rounded education without tying yourself up to either history or human mind
