Solutions to NID-DAT 2016 official sample Test paper


Hi,
As promised, I'm giving solutions to NID-DAT 2016 sample test paper released by NID institute in their official web page. Wherever needed, I've given explanations with images. Note that I've given solutions to short questions only and haven't dealt with the subjective part which covers sketch and design. Hope you find this useful. 



 Update: 
I came to know from Preethi that the answer key had been released last year after the exam and they removed it. So, based on the answers as shared in the comments by Narendra K, Preethi Tk, and others I've modified my solutions since this page is viewed by all. Hope you make the note and thank the one who informed us :)

Note: One of our friend Narendra Karumudi informed me that the sample test paper is nothing but actual NID-DAT 2016 prelims question paper. So, please make a note.

Analogous colors are groups of three colors that are next to each other on the color wheel, with one being the dominant color, which tends to be a primary or secondary color, and a tertiary. 

Complementary colors are pairs of colors which, when combined, cancel each other out. This means that when combined, they produce a grey-scale color like white or black. When placed next to each other, they create the strongest contrast for those particular two colors.

NID-DAT Resources update - New Syllabus


Hello,

In my previous post, I've given a comprehensive list of topics/syllabus for NID-DAT according to the sample test paper as available in NID official web page. While the list is yet to be added with some more topics, I've tried to gather some relevant resources; most of them are PDF's that are free to download, gathered from internet, after deliberate searching. Hope you will find that useful.

Last year, I've shared NID-DAT Resources in this post according to then syllabus. They have covered syllabus under three sections, which I tried to cover in that post accordingly. But, going through the sample paper, I sensed that more topics need to be covered, because of which I was made to make a new post. For now, I will update whatever I've found till date so that you can start working on that. Meanwhile, I will try to gather more leftover topics and share them. So, I will keep updating this page till the next month, and you don't have to worry whether you have missed the updates or not because I will inform/update in Stuff You Look as well as my Facebook page whenever there's an update in this page. Hope this would help you. 

Also, in the previous resource page, you can skip general, mechanical and verbal reasoning questions (in section A3) for now, and go through rest GA topics especially in A1 and A3, as I feel that these topics could be safely neglected.
