    On the 2nd of January 2022, NID (National Institute of Design)Exam 2022 successfully conducted NID DAT Prelims in pen and paper mode across 23 test cities in the country. National institute of Design conducts its entrance exam in two phases; DAT Prelims & DAT Mains. NID DAT Prelims is the first examination of the two phase entrance process.

Candidates who qualify NID DAT secure admission in Bachelor of Design (B.Des), Graduate Diploma Program in Design (GDPD) & Master of Design (M.Des) courses offered by National Institute of Design.

    Approximately 15000 students appeared for NID DAT Prelims 2022 across the country. Even though the candidate count of 2022 is 25-30% less than the number of candidates who appeared in NID DAT Prelims 2021, the dedication and enthusiasm of the students was clearly visible across all test centres in the country.

    NID DAT Prelims for B.Des is a 3 hour examination of 100 marks comprising multiple choice questions (G.K, Logical Reasoning, and English) and creative section whereas NID DAT Prelims for M.Des is a 2 hr 30 minutes examination with a 30 minute common design aptitude section and a 2 hour discipline specific creative section. If the candidate has chosen 2 disciplines, then the exam duration is increased to 4 hours 30 mins.

    Question 1a simple picture of tap was given and we had to design it for 3 different types of people in 3 different boxes, one for each.
    a) a six year old 
    b) an artist
    c) impaired eye person
     
    Question 2- story boarding 
    A fisherman is sitting near the shore/sea and a kingfisher bird is there too. They both are having an intense conversation and it ends with 
    Kingfisher- ” at last, you’re a human being”*
    Make the story and give it a title, write the story in the given box and illustrate the story in the 3 boxes given.
     
    Question 3 – all the parts of a cycle were given (even the vvvvv little ones, way too many parts were there in different angles).
    Draw a proper cycle using all the parts.
     
    Question 4 – perspective question
    A room was given with alot of details and a person was looking at his friend peeping from the window. We had to draw what the friend of the person would see. The whole composition was given in one point perspective.

    There are 5 major faculty/streams at NID for students to choose from –

    1. Faculty of Communication Design
      (Animation Design, Film & Video communication, Graphic Design, Photography Design)

    Students who appeared for DAT Prelims 2022, found the difficulty level of the examination to be moderate. The B.Des question paper had 27 multiple choice questions from static G.K, English and non verbal reasoning of 40 marks. The creative section carried 60 marks covering 4 questions of frames, observation and assembly, story boarding and perspective.

    When interviewed by our counselors at Pahal Design, many students were ecstatic after attempting the examination and were extremely thankful to the faculties for their guidance. Maximum students found time management an essential component to deliver their best during the examination and were very grateful for the consecutive mock tests which helped them take a feel of the examination beforehand.

    NID DAT is a tough examination; hence students need constant practice and guidance from faculties at every step of their preparation. The students who will qualify NID DAT Prelims will proceed for NID DAT Mains.
