I have gathered all the useful topics which might be relevant to NID (BDes, MDes and GDPD) in this page. Also, I have included all the mock tests, which are directly helpful to your preparation. These collections are purely based on my observation/analysis as I tried to provide whatever materials that I would've compiled if I were to give the exam. I hope you will find this helpful as well.
NID DAT syllabus is similar regardless of B.Des, M.Des or PGDPD cases. So, I wish to maintain a single page for all these categories without the need for multiple pages

Hey can you please tell me what things I should carry to the nid dat exam center
ReplyDeleteID proof, admit card, pencils, rulers, sketch pens/pencils,any of your other art media etc
DeleteDude u r just great...hats off for these topics, really helpful.
ReplyDeletethanks
DeleteHi, can anyone tell me whether one needs to colour the sketches. in the admit card they have clearly mentioned to carry colour pencils, etc. That would be of great help.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it's not ,must, but if you find time, then you may use colors. Colors during NID exams have good preference I guess.
DeleteTomorrow is the exam day. This was really helpful. Thank you so much. I think I'm prepared for the exam now. Only one thing I wanted to ask you. Do I need to carry water colours too? I have my admit card, ID proof, pencil, ruler, sharpener, eraser. And yes, pencil colours or oil pastel? What else is required?
ReplyDeletecoloring media depends on your preference (as per your hold on them). Both are good to carry - if you can use them easily.
DeleteI'm nervous right now. Tomorrow is finally THE DAY. You were of great help. Thank you so much. It would be great if all this paid off well. I have my admit card, ID proof, pencils, sharpener, eraser, ruler. And, oil pastel or colour pencils? Also, What else should I carry?
ReplyDeleteI think that much is sufficient, you can add some color media like dry or pencil colours if you wish. Gud luk:)
DeleteThank you. :) It went well, according to me. Just waiting for the answer key.
DeleteThat's great, I also heard that paper was easy.
Deleteyes sir... the paper was easy .. but sir i felt that the time is little less.. i had drawn the drawing roughly .. :(
DeleteYes Sir, the paper was much better than I thought it would be. I have to prepare for NIFT too. No coaching, just Arihant"s book for entrance. Could you or anyone who sees this comment help me with the preparation? Any suggestions? Provide me with a website link or something. Anything would do. Just a little helpless here. Thankyou. :)
DeleteI'm having plans for NIFT, will consider after UCEED exam. If any other sources found, I will share.
DeleteOkay, Thanks.
DeleteCan anybody tell me if there is negative marking in NIFT or no?
DeleteNo..there isn't
DeleteThankyou @ketakijain :)
DeleteSir, can you just help with the CAT thing? I can pretty much prepare for GAT. But, seems like both CAT and GAT matter individually.
we have to bring only dry color medium like pastel colors or colored pencil.. no need to bring water colors.. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, thanks for that:)
DeleteHi Sir , I am a regular viewer of this blog . I am preparing for UCEED from here and have prepared for NID also from here ! Sir yesterday I wrote my NID exam well but in subjective,due to lack of time I left one complete 10 marks question ... , rest all I could do well ... but now I'm very much tensed wether I would be qualified for the next round or not !!! Even many wrote the exam with sincere coaching but I don't even have that !!! Finally,Sir , will I be able to qualify for the studio test or not ?
ReplyDeleteThta's ok if you have attempte the remaining ques properly. The asnwer to Whether u qualify or not? depends completely on competition and your attempt level of rest ques. We cannot judge just like that.
DeleteThank you sir , what you said is right, drawing alone is not sufficient but we need to do it in time !
DeleteIn my result, it was mentioned as "according to your DAT score NID vijayawada will contact you separately" what does that mean?
ReplyDeleteProbably they meant that your score is not suitable enough for the three major NIDs but is possibly suited for NID Vij. You might get the confirmation once NID Vijayawada shortlist candidates.
DeleteSir I have qualified for bdes 2nd and 3rd level for nid. Thanks a lot for your valuable guidance and resource material. Sir pls tell me how to prep for next levels.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Advait. Glad to hear. Next is to prepare for studio test, portfolio as well as for the interview. You can chk the below links

ReplyDeleteHello sir! I am Saurabh Singh and I am aspiring to pursue M. Des. in the field of visual communication/graphic/information design. I need your advice regarding the college DA-IICT for doing M. Des. I had applied for NID & cleared its DAT but couldn't get admission due to very tough competition. Now I have two options either to prepare for NID again for the next year or to appear in DAIICT's current DAT. This college is very reputed for engineering but I have no idea about its M. Des. program. Please share your thoughts with the college and what do you think Should I prepare for NID or come there in DAIICT. That'll be great help. Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about DA-IICT, Haven't heard any reviews about that. Waiting for one more year really depends on certain scenario - like if u r working, then u can think of it, or if it's ur final year, then it's really worrying to wait one more year. But, if u r confident that next time qwhen u apply for competitive exams, if u can clear to some extent, then u can wait instead of compromising for private institute. If u r doubtful about nxt years competition, then do check for better options right now. Only this much I can say Saurabh. Decision is urs.
Deletehello Mr. Bhanu,
ReplyDeleteFirst of All thank You soo much for and amazing Blog On UCEED AND NID
I have prepared a lot from you blog and some other places and I got into NID this year,
So i started a blog so everyone can prepare the right way
So I have 2 request from you First of all if you can link my blog to your NID Preparation Section so People who visit your blog can Go there too,
second Can i link some of you blog content to my blog ??
https://graphicpantherblog.wordpress.com
Nice to go thru ur blog designed graphically with infographs. Good work and glad to see you help others. I will definitely leave your blogs link in my blogs resource page once your blog has sufficient and useful content. Your blog still needs content to be shared. So, be on it, once you have sufficient content, let me know.
DeleteYou cannot copy my blogs content as it is, since content is copyrighted. Google disagrees this.
Hi Chander and all,
ReplyDeleteI got seat in NID to do Game design. But I don't know about its scope and future. When I ask others they say it is a new course and have no idea, few say no future. I get many negative comments and I couldn't get a clear picture of it. I can do but the fees in NID is high after I come out I should get it back. So pls clear me with ur comments and help me to move in a proper way with ur opinions. Thank you...
Digital Game design in NID is not new, but yes, as far as I heard campus placements are few and I'm not sure about their course module. If you have plans for startup/company in game designing, then you need not have to worry, but just for taking some course, don't do that. This is what I know.
DeleteThank u Chander...
ReplyDeleteSir please guide me as how to start my NID preparation.
ReplyDeleteThank you
NID has design and sketching part too, so better start with basic sketching. Make yourself comfortable with object sketching minding proportions, perspective, scaling etc. Simultaneously prepare for the three other sections covering aptitude, topics of which are available in the resource and this page.
DeleteSir, could you tell how much should i focus in just drawing for NID. And which part need more focus compared to Drawing and Quantitive /creative ability.
ReplyDeleteThank you
Unlike CEED, drawing part in NID plays a crucial role. But it should not be forgotten that aptitude is also a part of your exam and adds weight age to your screening (as well as for final selection). One might not get selected if he does performs 100% well in drawing but not able to clear aptitude part. So, literally we cannot neglect both of them. If ur already a good sketcher, then focus on aptitude too! otherwise concentrate more on drawing initially until the last month of exam.
DeleteThank you very much..for your assistance.
ReplyDeleteSir for second round test in NID , is coaching required or it can be done by self.
ReplyDeleteActually,yes, it's better to have a coaching assistance for later part (esp. portfolio making). It's best if u are not having much idea about how to organize or make content for your folio.
DeleteTHANKS BHANU SIR FOR YOUR HELPFUL BLOG! IS PORTFOLIO REALLY REQUIRED FOR BDES IN NID.IF YES, SHOULD THE PORTFOLIO BE DESIGNED USING SOFTWARES ETC. OR HAND DESIGNED SHOULD WORK??? (BY DESIGNING I MEAN FORMATTING, COVER PAGE,FONTS ETC.)
ReplyDeleteThis answer is already available in FAQs page of NID offical website. I'm anyway copying that:
Delete"The process of admission to NID for B.Des. and M.Des. programmes consists of three stages.
Stage 1: Design Aptitude Test (DAT)
Stage 2: Studio Test
Stage 3: Personal Interview
It is not mandatory to do portfolio only using softwares. It's upto your choice and you can in fact go for hand designed one. You can even make of mix of both, that's usually how people do. Check portfolio guide in this blog for more detail -
Tips on how to make a design portfolio for CEED and NID entrance
Sir I am really confused among the GDPD and B.DES courses offered by NID. Could you plz tell me about their difference and most importantly which will be better for pursuing design career. Can M.des be done after GDPD course.?
ReplyDeleteThank you
I'm not much aware of that. Details of GDPD is available in the main NID admission page. Pl. check that
DeleteGDPD in NID
Helo sir the material which you have provided for nid 2016 exam is it the same for nid 2017 also ? Or the paper pattern has changed ? Please guide me on this
ReplyDeleteI can confirm that only when the official NID brochure is out, which is not yet open. It will be open by first week of Oct (as per the website). As far as I believe, the pattern SHOULD BE SAME to the previous year since last year only they adopted this pattern, and I hope they will not change it that soon (within a span of year). Anyway, Pl. remind me when the application webpage is active with official brochure. I will go thru that and confirm then. Thanks.
DeleteSir the material which you have provided here for Nid dat preparation for 2016 is it the same for 2017 also ???
ReplyDeleteDo tou have any idea whether the pattern of dat is going to chango or not for 2017 ? Because some are telling that the Exam may be online from 2017 please guide me
switching to online doesn't mean there will be pattern change, anyway, let's wait until notification. But, sketching part always exists no matter what the pattern be (esp for NID). So, do practice for that till the notifications. Also, aptitude is a general requirement, don't wait till the dates, just start preparation
DeleteSir can u plz give me last min tips for nid I m left with two months only
ReplyDeleteAnd how to manage time during exam as per new timetable. I m finding day difficult . I m reading Gk n also solving mock test but still ...
It's not last minute, you still have two months!
Deletewhile the new pattern has several topics to be covered. I'm already trying to make posts for NID soon.
Hi Bhanu,
ReplyDeleteI am applying for Mdes. Is it possible to find the previous year question papers at one place ?I assume that the DAT exam for Bdes and Mdes is the same. Isn't it ?
(You are doing a great job here)
previous years papers are not available anywhere except the sample test that is available in NID brochure as per my knowledge. Ya, DAT (prelims) syllabus for bdes and mdes are same.
DeleteI'm preparing for NID and CEED this year and was wondering if its worth investing in the "Study Material" offered by institutes such as Mosiac or Silica.
ReplyDeleteIf this query has been answered previously I apologise for asking again.
If it were CEED/UCEED, I wouldn't have recommended. But since for NID, no previous papers are available and it involves more on design/sketching, so material selection depends on your level. If you are good enough to do self study or preparation and could deal with design questions by yourself, then It's ok to go on self pace. I'm not sure whether those materials covers all aspects of NID including design, and I still wonder whether design can be studied on books rather than practice/instruction from someone. I would suggest you to get reviews from someone whom have already taken (or taking) the course now. That should give u an idea.
DeleteThankyou.
DeleteI think the major attraction with these study materials is that they provide previous year papers(solved). And NID's previous year papers are not readily available.
I had given CEED and NID last year as well. But didnt make it because I believe I lacked in preparation. This blog is a really big help. Thankyou so much. :)
DeleteHello Bhanu,
ReplyDeleteI have recently filled in NID application form for 2 fields and submitted the form along with the fee.I have by mistake filled in 'DOB' in 'place of birth' field. What shall I do,would you please recommend. Since changes cant be made once the payment is done. I have written a mail to NID as well, haven't received a reply yet. I am very worried if the application will get rejected, please suggest.
There shouldn't be any prob I think, u hve alrdy informed them in written which will have added adv interms of proof. Anyway, try calling to their landline no. provided in admission page or brochure, If they r not replying, then u may call to NID office no. available in NID website n ask them to direct ur call to the concerned. That shld work.
DeleteThanks for the reassurance :) I called the admission cell...they said that they cannot guarantee that the form will be accepted. What should I do now?
DeleteThey must hve told that just to scare u, in order to not repeat similar kind of errors nxt time, imagine if they readily agree, then students might not bother checking the submission docs properly before they submit. Had the case of their reply being 'it's not possible', then we would have to bother, but since they said the other way, I believe it's ok.
DeleteOr to be on safer side, if there is any cancellation option with refund, do that and submit a fresh appli. I think this shld be kept as ur last option.
Your view about their reply is quite practical. Thanks for your help on this issue! :)
DeleteCan u plz provide anything for current affairs up till now
ReplyDeleteI think it is also imp for nid.Q r based on dat mostly n also some sample paper as per last year's pattern
that's already in my next NID resource update list, will update when i get time. I cannot guarantee about sample paper but will try my best to get time.
DeleteSir, Does DAT exam differs for U.G and P.G ???
ReplyDeletesyllabus fro prelims will be mostly same but content for mains differs a bit for UG and PG. You can check NID brochure for more detailed clarifications.
DeleteSir, I want NID Mock paper 2016, but I couldn't find it. Please send me.
ReplyDeletehttp://stuffyoulook.blogspot.in/2016/12/answers-to-NID-DAT-sample-test-2016.html
Deleteit's in this page only, I don't know how u r not able to see it!
DeleteSir I have practice d those mock tests and also the things u provided for nid n uceed.
ReplyDeleteNow dis is d last month so can u please tell what is left or what should I practice. I m worried abt nid. Wat to do??
practicing only mock test is never sufficient for NID/UCEED preparation. They r just a way of understanding the pattern n they cannot cover all. Syllabus is known n u have already did some study, so sort out the list n check if u have missed preparing any topic or if u needed more practice/revision on specific topics. Also, GK prep shouldn't be stopped till the last end esp for NID, as you know most NID ques r GA/GK ques. The materials that I shared with u all is not complete, i'm still trying to gather more, will share soon, till then try preparing based on topcis list.
DeleteCan we include ideation sketches in NID exam if product qst. will come...like we do for ceed?
ReplyDeleteIn NID, what I observed is they provide space only for the final sketch. So, I guess showing ideation process is not mandatory unless they specifically mention. But, u can! it adds to ur design!
DeleteDear fellow NID DAT 2017 aspirants, admit card is now available for download on http://admissions.nid.edu/ . (If you have not done it already.)
ReplyDeleteThank u so much Gayathri for sharing the update with everyone.
DeleteTomorrow is D-day.....wanted to thank you for the last time,for this amazing blog!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Good luck for your exam :)
Deletehello sir. just wanted to thank you for creating such an amazing blog! Really helpful! (now, awaiting results.. fingers crossed)
ReplyDeletewelcome, gud luk to u too :)
DeleteHello sir
ReplyDeleteI recently get NID-DAT and I found that question no.30 answer was 11 and the answer is not given in the options.when I see answer keys the answer was 10 that was wrong.
What can I do now
write to them for change of answers, they will consider if urs is correct
DeleteThank you sir
DeleteBut they told to pay Rs 1000
for objection why should I pay for their mistake.
ha ha,
DeleteI suppose NID is running out of money, apart from taking hell lot of money for admissions as well as getting good revenue from exam fees, they now started this thing :P
But one reason could be, if they said it free, then every participant will give his/her own answer as he/she did in the exam thinking that it is wrong! then it would be mess u know!
Yaa got it. . .
Delete.
You are running best blog for design exam preparation. . .
. .KEEP IT UP. . .
I agree with Nirav. Why should someone pay for NID's mistake? They should re-imburse the money for if its NID's mistake. I am not sure if they do that.
DeleteAlso, Bhanu Sir, thank you very much for being responsive. Your efforts in keeping this blog updated are commendable.
DeleteNirav patel, are you talking about the question asking to count the number of surfaces? The answer is 11, but the options had 10,12 and some other set of numbers..
DeleteHie. I just wanted to know what will be the estimated cut off according to you in NID 2017?
ReplyDeleteAnd do they select on the basis of separate cut offs. Like if a person gets through the gk cut off and has less marks in the drawing section as per their cut off , but the total marks which he gets is more than the passing marks , so will he be eligible for the second round?
I hope i made my point clear.
I have the same doubt. Please someone clarify.
DeleteI too
ReplyDeletein part b ..do i have click all possible answers or any one ? please say
ReplyDeleteHello. I got shortlisted for lifestyle accessory design. Anyone else who got shortlisted for the same?

Hi Bhanu Sir,
ReplyDeleteAs you might be knowing, this year,NID is not going to conduct it's interview session for the undergraduates, so all that matters now is the studio test, so , sir , can you suggest some extra tips to keep in mind while appearing for the test?
And, thank you for creating such a wonderful blog, it really helped many students like me a lot.
Ya, I too heard that they are not conducting interview this time. But I seriously wish that they will conduct interview instead of studio test. Anyway, for studio test, since it's pattern is not known tous, we can assume that the test will mostly be stream specific and includes written, oral explanation, hands-on works like they will give some raw materials like ice cream sticks, small cardboard boxes, glues etc and would ask you all to make some creative stuff, either in teams or individually. Apart from that, the written exam might include, situation analysis, story writing, sketching and MCQ just like NID exam. Good luck brother.
DeleteHi Bhanu,
ReplyDeleteNID Mains results are out. I secured 26th rank in Open category. I think I do not stand a chance this year... In the meantime, I wish to know if "merit list" implies a list of all who qualified (is there a specific list that I do not see, as I have not secured that rank). I wanted to know these details because the brochure says, "Merit List will be refreshed daily at 1600", but I do not see a list per se. Also, is there a cut off mark after NID Mains results are out (I see such a cutoff for NID Dat, but not Mains)? Adding to this, 'Merit List 1', 'Final Merit list' seems to just give a hope that I MIGHT be selected...
I do not have any in my network who might explain the rank trends of M.Des in NID-Universal Design, so looking up to you!
i'm really not sure abt their shortlisting criteria. They never real coz they follow mixed trend which might be based on their personal view too. So, I think only hope is being positive. Gud luck bro.
DeleteHi Vivek,
DeleteI too have a similar rank in Open category. Did it change for you, the consent thing? I can't see any option to give consent, Do we have to send a mail for that consent? Hope to find a solution or clarity on the same.
Thanks

ReplyDeleteAny leads on where to get the previous years question papers for NID-DAT PG? Most of the papers available out there are for GDPD. Only the online coachings etc seem to be selling the actual question papers of previous years.

ReplyDeleteHello Sir,
ReplyDeleteDo you have previous year papers for MITID DAT and SEAT ? Can you please provide details about the same if possible.
Thanks in advance.

ReplyDeleteSir , in NID prelims exam
ReplyDeleteScissors ans glue sticks are needed ????
i don't think so. Hands on work is not there, so not needed. For mains, u may need them.
DeleteHi Bhanu . Can I have your mail I'd. Need some help
ReplyDeleteHi Bhanu . Can you please help me for the today's Nid exam . My daughter missed to write the question paper series no. In the answer sheet . However she has entered her name and roll no. In question paper . The invigilator also signed and stamped the answer sheet without checking whether all the details has been filled or not . Do you have any idea whether the OMR sheets are checked before feeding in the computer . Please advise .
ReplyDeleteThis usually happens and many students does this mistake. The invigilator has little or no role to be blamed for he/she would be in a hurry to check everyone's paper in the hall. The first responsibility should be on the student for he/she should've been careful about his/her own paper. If the student is not checking their paper properly, how can we expect a third person to do the job?
DeleteAnyway, according to last year students, normally the paper will be evaluated in such situations with a written concern. I mean, the student usually write (mail) to them stating their details (including the roll/admit card no.) and request for considering the evaluation. That is how it works. Please mail to the official nid id available in their webpage.
Hey people, How did your NID (UG) 2018 Exam go?

Deletehi Bhanu brother..
ReplyDeleteI am keshav studying in 11th std.. I live in a hostel where I cannot access my gadgets and therefore don't get guidance of how to prepare for for nid.. I do things like making things out of waste .. comic strips.. magazine .
1.how should I proceed without internet...
2 what resources can I get printout of and study them ...
3 from when should I solve papers
and stop portfolio prep ...??
thankyou soo much for this blog and hands off to you ..
waiting for your reply ..before I may get offline :)
Hey people! How much are you scoring in Part A of NID DAT (UG) 2018 after checking from the official key?
ReplyDeleteI'm getting 52 but i do have concerns about some questions...going to challenge them.
Deletehow much are you getting?
What are the questions you are thinking of challenging?
Deletepictures and their meaning,(shoes and fork).
DeleteOh! even I was thinking about those questions. What do you think are the answers for that fork which is bended back and the for which is bended together?
DeleteHi. In the NID-DAT UG paper 2018 there was a question asking the number of triangles in a star. The official answer key shows the answer as 8 but the correct answer would be 10. In your opinion should I challenge the answer key?
ReplyDeleteQuestion as given in the booklet : "In the given figure how many triangles are there in total?" (with a picture of a normal 5 pointed star)
How many triangles are in the figure...I can clearly see 10 triangles
ReplyDeletethe ans is given as 8
yeah, the correct answer is 10. many people are going to challenge this question.

ReplyDeleteHi sir,
ReplyDeleteI really like these materials. But i have one question is that, if i prepare for CEED, will it be helpful in cracking NID DAT, or i should prepare for both exams separately. I have have heard that if someone prepares for ceed, it will be quite easy to crack NID. Please suggest something, i'll appear next year.
Hello Sujoy,
DeleteYes CEED preparation helps for NID too because many of the stallbus overlaps. But, that doesn’t mean preparing only for ceed will help you for nid in full fledged. CEED part A is slightly aptitude oriented while NID objectivity he’s are mostly GK/GA oriented. Also, there’s a variation in the subjective of the two also. So, it’s advised to plan for both the preparation separately.
Sir how to contact you?
ReplyDeleteCan you tell some ideas on this: Draw with use when enlarged 10 times than the original size. 1) Pressure cooker 2) marker pen cap 3) cytter 4) zip 5) Computer mouse 6) battery cell.
ReplyDeletefor comparison, I would suggest you show something next to this product - like a stove adjacent to the cooker such that cooker is bigger than the usual size with reference to the stove. In other words, the stove will look pretty small (around 10 times smaller) in comparison to the cooker.

Sir can you please give link for product designers of India if possible.
ReplyDeleteAlso in ceed product design questions to what extent are we expected to give manufacturing process details?
Thanks
product designers is prety huge and it's impractical to list them all. You can however google and find some pages. Manufacturing process details depend on the product you are doing. For most cases, detailed manufacturing process is not required unless your design carries the form, which seems to be difficult to male using the regular process. IN most case, better to specify the material and if u can, then just list the process, else process listing is not req.
DeleteHello sir

ReplyDeletecan you please check if the link of "NID Previous Papers from 2002 (collections)" on NID DAT page has been shifted or what is the error , as it shows that this collection does not exist ?
Hi, the person who has shared that link with me must've removed the access. We can't be helped. I'm removing that link from this page.
DeleteSir, your resources really helped me to crack UCEED with an AIR 86 open,and nift and NID with a score 63.5. Could you please drop some useful links or resources for NID mains, I'll be really grateful for that.
ReplyDeleteRespected sir, I'm currently studying in 11 and I'm preparing for nid as well . I desired a piece of advice... Can you plz tell me which books to refer for verbal and nonverbal reasoning.... help me out... I'll be thankful.
ReplyDeleteI didn't come across any specific good book or set of books that can cover the stuff related to NID in particular. May be you can check reviews of the books available in amazon or flipkart. If you couldn't find something useful or if the purchased books are not helping you, I would suggest you to rely on online websites. I've shared some websites and free PDFs to help with this above.
