NIFT Situation Test is for the admission to B.Des program. You can find the NIFT entrance exam sample papers for the same on our website. Here is a glimpse at the pattern of the test.

• Shortlisted candidates who had written the CAT and GAR papers need to take a Situation Test in April 2021.
• This is a hands-on test that evaluates the candidate’s innovative ability for a given situation with a provided set of material. Thus, the test also analyzes the material handling skill of the candidate.
• The model is judged on the basis of space visualization, creative use of provided material, colour scheme, composition of elements, and finesse of model, construction skill, and its overall presentation.
• These parameters will be then checked with the concept explained in a write-up for the constructed model. The language for the write-up must be English.
