Pahal Design – Hi! Durga How are you?

Durga – All good. How about you.

Pahal Design – All good. After seeing your smiling faces and the position you have secured has made us Proud. Congratulations, so did you expect to be a topper?

Durga – Thank you so much for the topper 2 didn’t expect to be a topper but yes deep down in my heart I was just feeling that my hard work will really pay off and I will get some good rank and to get admission into NIFT. I was really happy about it.

Pahal Design – What was your score in NIFT?

Durga – In the written exam my score was 56.30 out of 100 I scored AIR 6.

Pahal Design – How did you prepare for written exam?

Durga – For the written examination, I prepared it on my own because the time was less. it was like 4-5 months left and I had my college assignment, college projects & exams as well so I just mutually prepared myself and I studied about like 3-4 hours a day along with my college stuffs and I just wanted my admission into NIFT and I somehow did it.

Pahal Design – Tell us about your journey, how did you prepare for it?

Durga – Yes, this year this entrance exam was full of surprises like that entry of negative marking and online scenario. If I say online it is the present demand so it can be fulfilled and it is necessary so you just need to be friendly with your phone and the person you are talking to and I was bit aware of negative marking in my graduation also so I was not really scared of  the negative marking but I was prepared only to put points on those questions which I am confirmed so yes it all want good up and down.

Pahal Design – How was your GDPI preparation. How did you go ahead with it?

Durga – For the GDPI sessions I was new to all of these things and I didn’t face anything like that before so for that I joined a crash course, I joined it by Pahal Institute. One of my teachers is in front of me and taking my interview. It really helped me a lot I was personally an anxious person but now I have that sense of confidence that I can speak in front of a strange people and having those coverage of wide variety of topics, subjects, the pdfs, the lectures , the day to day updation and everything was so in practice and in flow that I gave my best at the point when I needed it. So it was all because of you all.

Pahal Design – It was your hard work as well Durga so what mistakes you did and you want the future aspirants to avoid it.

Durga – So, mistakes I used to get blank at some point of time, and you get blank because you do not know about the content that you have been asked for so for that work on your content part, work on your subject part, work on your basics so it is not a very rocket science kind of a thing that you have to need to focus on small basics part and second thing is that the aspirants should practice a lot.  practice makes a man perfect so you just need to focus on what you need to do.

Pahal Design – How much time should every aspirant contribute or dedicate in a day?

Durga – First thing I would say that it fully depends on individual’s ability and how much dedicate you are towards your goal. During my written exam I used to study for like 3-4 hours a day honestly. I am not studious, not at all, but to get that opportunity of being fully flourished. I just studied and prepared anyway to make my dream come true. I remember the time when I used to stand in front of the mirror daily and tell myself daily that you have to do it & you will do it, and this thing motivated me to do it in spite of making me anxious.

Pahal Design – How was your PI?

Durga – Yes, if I talk about the present scenario, in this Covid-19 situation it was all lockdown and I had ample of time to prepare. It was a good opportunity and good time to get prepared for all of the Interview so I was not very confident about GD and interview  I used to prepare for 4-5 hours like not doing 5-6 hours straight but like 2 hours after that taking break and then after 1 hour just like that.

Pahal Design – What was the reaction of your family when you told them that you want to be in fashion industry.

Durga – I would say that I am lucky in this case my parents are really convincing and they are always supportive and at the same time encouraging me every time to do whatever I want, I remember I told them that I want to pursue a degree in master of fashion technology then my father and mother just smiled and they just said that you really want it you will get it your mom and dad are always by your side you just don’t worry you just work hard and put your efforts and we are always there so it was not that difficult for me to convince them.

Pahal Design – Is there anything else you would want to share or any tip you want to give to the future aspirant who are preparing for M.F.Tech?

Durga – I would give my tip which I inculcated into myself very strongly and very strictly I would say that there are 3 things that needs to be mentioned that needs to be in your head forever and ever – First thing is practice second thing is the determination and in simple words I would say stubbornness your eagerness your excitement for the thing that you want and the third thing is your dedication like dedication is the one thing like if you are not doing it for the one time try for the second time it is like that nothing is impossible you can achieve it if you want it.
