NIFT B.FTech, M.F.Tech and M.F.M - Free study materials



Fortunately, the syllabus and exam pattern for the three NIFT exams BFTech, MFTech as well as MFM are same except for the difficulty level. Here, I'm including common study materials that will be applicable for the three NIFT exams. I will update this page whenever I find relevant materials worth to be shareable. Many of the syllabus share commonly with BDes/MDes materials too. So, I'm including those materials at large with the inclusion of additional materials needs for the present. 

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.

Courses and preferred Institutions after CEED exam


Before going through the preferred institutions providing M.Des and Ph.D in various design fields, let me remind you that qualifying in CEED exam doesn't guarantee you for admission in any of the below institution as well as programme. After cracking CEED, you are required to go through the preferred institution website and apply to respective programme. You can even apply for multiple courses.

Short-listed candidates with valid CEED score will be called for the departmental written test (Design Aptitude Test, Studio Tests etc) followed by interviews conducted by the institutions, which usually happens yearly anywhere between March and June, as part of M.Des admission. Every institution has their own style of tests and interviews. CEED score (Part B) as well as marks obtained in written test and interviews are considered for final admission. CEED score is valid for two years.
