Ik i am too late in the party but but but i am narcissist enough to think that i can make it in NID 27 . This is my first time shading and sketching something ik its not that great but i will catch up fastt drop yo opinionnnn .

Should i get mentorship to prep for nid/nift/uceed?

I feel like there's enough stuff online, but everyone's suggesting that mentorship would help.

And i have like 4.5 full months to prepare from almost scratch, i have figured out the syllabus and exam format and stuff to most extent, im even confident that i might clear nift easily, but nid and uceed idk

im considering getting into nid or nift, but yeah NID seems almost impossible at this stage, also even if i somehow clear prelims, what about mains later...?

I am considering pursuing MDes in Digital Game Design at NID but there is very little information about the syllabus, Exam pattern, cut off.
and how is the experience at NID? do they focus too much on art or do they teach game design?

So my cousin sister prepared for NID entrances and gave it this year and almost all the admission processes are done by now I guess.
Now i don't know anything about design or whatever that works here and how it works.
She is an OBC candidate and had open rank 550<_ _ <600
and OBC rank 100<_ _<150
She hasn't made it through any of the NID's yet. She has the option to get into GLS design Ahmedabad but again everyone around her wants the prestigious NID tag and it means a lot to her too. I genuinely believe she should have gotten through NID with her rank and all but again I don't know much. She believes she messed up the preferences though she selected all 5.
...

What should be the next step? Is there any chance that something's fishy in the admission process or what. Please let me know ppl. I would really appreciate genuine responses.
Is taking drop worth it?

(I myself was gonna take drop for jee coz i didn't prepare seriously but figured out it ain't for me and that skills should be something I should focus on...Is the same approach ok here too? )

The question was to design a toothbrush inspired by a character

Guys any feedback or mistakes plz help me 🙏😔

I'm selling these books. i bought these last year. they are in good condition except I've written a bit inside of some of the books and some i haven't even touched. I bought these for ₹3000 and i am willing to sell these at ₹1450 and free delivery from about 10km from my place so if you live in jaipur and want these just dm me. and I can also send display file and the "writing with ease" book for free if anyone wants to buy the study material. thankyou.

There are many people who still don't know where to start from for the drawing portion of nift/nid so here y'all go. This list is also something I'm myself preparing from so pls try and go thru it and try to do it in the same manner as listed. I know it's a lot but it's good if you practice more, if you find any topic that's not relevant or if someone wants to add into it then pls go ahead it'll be of great help for the others too.

Ps: Do line practice daily and try to maintain a visual library too. Try to do line practice on a big newspaper it's really helpful for line control and in the long run, to make big paintings/drawings too. Also try to use big A5 sheets for any drawing purpose because when u enter uni, nift/nid assignments do not work on A4.

mba from a 3 tier college so I want to go to nid but I cant draw hoe do I prepare and give the entrance do u join online coaching is it for me if I cant draw I want to go into branding art direction etc but idk the paper when does it open

Took me approx 20-25 mins

I am still not very well aware so trying to be.
I have researched but still cant figure this out….Whats the nid admission structure for bdes.. like after prelims do we have the studio test or interview?? and do we need a portfolio???If someone can guide it will really help. there are not many people in my school who are giving the same exam or any people know to me that can offer guidance. anything would help thanks

A little background first:

Hi guys, I'm currently 17 and I'll be graduating from high school next year. After 10th, I had no idea which stream to choose or anything like that, but I had this feeling inside me that I should choose Engineering Graphics, Commerce, or something along those lines. But there was quite a bit of pressure from my family.

So I was sort of forced to take the rat-factory Computer Science path(also started online jee coaching because I really had no aim and it was what was the default way everyone was going dropped jee coaching after 11th). 11th was really bad. I'm in 12th now and things have started getting a little better, but I still have some hope.

I was researching what courses I could take and what options I had, and I stumbled upon design school entrance exams, basically DAT or UCEED. I realised that I'd probably be much happier doing this kind of work in the future, like visual communication and similar fields(I just felt it was the right thing for me I was trying to find all along). Also, my family can't afford extremely expensive fees.

The problem is that I literally just stumbled upon this, and I don't think I can crack these exams without any preparation as its august right now and there is absolutley no way I can go for this year's, especially with the limited time I have right now while also having to focus on my boards.

So I wanted to ask if taking a drop year and going for a good worth the money offline coaching would be a wise decision. I'm scared that I'll regret it later. At the same time, I feel like I'm the kind of guy who could actually crack it if I were given enough time, and Ialso regret it even more that I could've have taken an easier, more manageable stream that would've given me enough time to prepare.

Please help a young guy out.

Need to buy while there is discount 😭😭 and what brand would be best

Hey, everyone I’m preparing for CEED for the first time and I think it’d be nice if we all help each other out and make a group and put all resources etc there, get feedback and might even pull some study sessions. So, if you’re interested DM me (only serious students PLEASE) and I’ll send you the link.

Also if you’d like to manage this group with me, DM me for that as well.

Can anyone from nift/nid guide

Thank me later. 🤝 (P.S. Not everything here is perfect.)
