NID DAT

Hi Aayushi!

NID DAT main is only for the ones who get selected after the prelim. The competition to get a seat in NID is fierce and needs crazy will power and dedication. While I motivate you to do all that, I'd suggest you to keep yourself open to other innovative design programmes offered in India as well. 

Here, I'd recommend two institutes. 

-Claiming to be the first Design University of India, Anant National University offers B.Des in Interior, Space, Interaction, Product and Communication Design. Know more about the course at www.anu.edu.in

-JK Lakshmipat University, the corporate university of the 125-year-old JK Organisation, offers B.Des programmes in Product, Interaction and interdisciplinary design. Know more about the courses at www.jklu.edu.in

I would especially recommend the B.Des programme in interdisciplinary design if you are uncertain about your calling in design since it provides you with a holistic flavour of design as a concept, rather than just concentrating in one aspect of it. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours. 

Do let me know if this helps. 

Thanks!

Hi Ashish!

You can expect to get qualified in the NID DAT prelims but merit cannot be a guarantee for you. I'd suggest you to stay ambitious, however, while keeping your mind open to the other innovative design programmes offered in India. Here, I'd recommend two institutes.

Thank you,

All the BEST.

I believe that you might be able to qualify the prelims but it still is a close call. You can't be as sure. I'd suggest you stay ambitious, however, while staying open to some of more B.Des programmes offered in India. I'd here recommend JK Lakshmipat University, which offers B.Des in Product Design, Interaction Design, and Interdisciplinary Design. The B.Des programme at JKLU is designed and led by A. Balasubramaniam, one of the most prominent designers of India, an NID veteran himself.

JK Lakshmipat University is the philanthropic initiative of the 125-year-old JK Organisation. You can go through their information at www.jklu.edu.in and apply for their entrance exam.

Hello aspirant,

I can help you as if now we can't predict cutoff because the shortlisting may done according to category wise and number of students appeared and shortlisted so wait for the results.As per previous years results you are qualified exam but category wise cutoff we can't predict now 

Hope helpful to you

Thank you

Hello Sanchita,

The ultimate selection in NID DAT is decided through the compilation of a candidate's both prelims and mains score. The weightage of scores of the two exams are-

DAT Prelims-30%

Dat Mains-70%

Many candidates found the drawing section more difficult than the MCQ section. Also, since you have not mentioned how many marks you scored in the drawing section, based on your score in the MCQ section, I am sure you will qualify the prelims. You need to wait for the mains exam to happen then based on that it would be easier to decide if you will get the admission or not. For further information about the exam and the entire selection process, you can check out the link below by Careers360 and get the necessary knowledge. Good Luck!

Hi, thanks for reaching us. There might be some confusion or some typing error. To take admission in NID, you need to give DAT exams (prelims and mains) and then you'll be selected for studio test and interview round. As fas as I remember, to get admission in NID you'll need to get a score of 55% for a person from OBC category. It changes every year so you'll need to check their website. But I will suggest to aim higher than to be on the safer side. Whereas you give CAT (Creative Ability Test) and GAT (General Ability Test) exams to get into NIFT. Since, they have campuses all around India, each campus gives out their cut off list for various courses. If you want to know more about NIFT, tell me your preferable campus and course.
