If you are looking to get into National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), don’t think of throwing your basic math books away. They’ll come in really useful, since math is one of the components in the entrance exam. So brush up your math in readiness for the exam. For the under-graduate course in design at NIFT, there are three steps: General Ability Test (GAT), Creative Ability Test (CAT), and situation test. For GAT, you need 10th standard Maths. And then there are reasoning tests, and English and comprehension tests. That is, the tests are in quantitative ability, communication ability, English comprehension, analytical ability, business domain test. Under CAT, you are tested for skill, observation, innovation and design ability. You could be given a question like:“Draw a scene at a farewell party.” Or you could be asked to draw something based on a theme like water conservation; adult education; pollution. In the situation test, you are tested for material-handling and innovative ability. So you could be asked to make a three-dimensional model of, say, a ladies’ handbag, a magazine rack, or a memento for a football winners’ team.
For the under-graduate course in technology, there’s GAT. Also, there’s MAT, or
Managerial Ability Test. This would expect the candidate to have boned up on 12th standard Maths and Science; it also includes general knowledge. So, get into the habit of reading the newspapers. There’s also a test for the post graduate entrance. This includes a written exam, psychometric test, personality test and group discussion.
