NIFT B.Des and M.Des - Free study materials


Fortunately, the syllabus and exam pattern for both BDes and MDes are same except for the difficulty level. Here, I'm including common study materials that will be applicable for both the NIFT exams. I will update this page whenever I find relevant materials worth to be shareable. 

In general, NIFT paper has the following sections
GAT, CAT, Analytical Ability, GK and Creative Ability test.
This page will try to cover all the parts except for Creative Ability which will be dealt in a separate post.

Disclaimer: The materials and the syllabus that I included are purely based on my analysis of the previous paper, intended to give you materials for self-study without the need for you to spend on purchase of costly materials. I might not have covered everything related to the exam and at the same time the materials included are related to some extent to your exam.
