HOW TO CRACK NID

So, how does one get into NID Ahmedabad at the first attempt? Here are a few pointers and some clues to clear the NID DAT (Prelims). NID places a lot of importance on design and art; therefore, you are expected to approach even commonplace objects in an out-of-the-box manner. Developing sketching and drawing skills are non-negotiable and you must keep sharpening these skills.

  • Practice sketching everyday objects – you may not be asked to sketch something out of a futuristic science fiction zone. But, how well do you understand the way everyday things work will be important.
  • Think about details in everyday objects – With the focus on product development, you can be asked what material a ball pen is made of? Why did the designer choose the specific material? What determines the pen’s length? What happens if it were made longer/shorter, thicker/narrower?
  • Think out-of-box ideas –So, how can you eat a bowl of noodles if all you have are some disposable paper cups? Or, you have only a notebook, so how can you send a message to a friend who lives 2 km away? Ninjas, robots and pirates are also allowed!
  • Speed matters – you pencil should move as fast as your thoughts if you really want to crack the exams. Communicate your idea well and truly but at the speed of light! Time will just fly while taking the NID entrance exams. Draw small thumbnails first, move on to the light hand and then finish with dry colours like ball pens, pencils, crayons, etc.
  • Plan your paper – With time at a premium, plan which section you will attempt first, second and so forth.

While an understanding of engineering drawings are helpful, NID entrance focuses more on aesthetics and understanding of how a design is created and how it works. You will find more commonplace objects to tackle so pay attention in general to your immediate environment. Practice drawing every single thing around you or find reference pictures and draw them, fast.

Cracking the entrance is also about how good your examiner thinks you are. OPUS definitely provides you adequate guidance and mentorship to help you crack the entrance at the very first attempt.
