Yes, it is possible to change your NICMAR campus from Goa to Pune, but it may depend on several factors, including the availability of seats and the policies of the institution. You can contact the admissions office of NICMAR to inquire about the procedure for changing your campus.
Regarding being looked down upon as a sponsored candidate, it is unlikely that changing your campus would have any impact on how you are perceived by others.

The NCAT is the entrance exam for NICMAR. According to some of my friends who have taken the exam, it is not that difficult but easy if you prepare well.
- For the written exam, you need to have hands-on practice with the aptitude and reasoning section.
- You need to have good time management skills to ace the exam.
- The next round would be Group Discussion. For this, you have to keep a record of the current affairs of both the World and India along with the domain you are studying, be it Interiors or Civil.
- Have a sound knowledge of the current technologies and reforms made in the particular domain.
- The last would be the personal interview round. It's quite easy if you have a command over your communication skills.

If you are a working individual, you can share your learning, experiences, and the contribution you have made in the industry while working tenure.
