What is the admission process for Bachelor of Design [B.Des] NIFT Chennai?

My main focus was to get into NIFT. But to keep options, in case I wasn't able to clear NIFT, I had applied for IIAD and UID as well. I am in a general category so I didn't get any quota. To appear for B.des in NIFT, you must pass STD Xll, any stream. The maximum age to apply for this programme is 23. The entrance exam is taken in 3 parts; One day, you'll have CAT (Creative Aptitude Test) and GAT (General Aptitude Test). In CAT there are questions to judge your creativity, you'll have the drawing part here. This paper will be for 3 hours. In GAT you'll have basic Maths, Reasoning, English and General Knowledge. This paper will be for 2 hours. Once you get shortlisted, you'll have to appear in the situation test. You'll get materials here, and you'll have to make a 3D model according to the question, and a write up explaining it. Once you get the final result, you'll get your rank and then will appear for counselling where you can choose the course and campus according to the availability of seats.

It had a huge scope of improvement then and i am sure its progressing on a good scale since then. Being a national institute and holding a great reputation there are a lot of areas to improvise and rework on.
