Read below the full interview to find out how you should prepare and what you should expect in the NID Studio Test. Q. How soon is the NID Studio Test conducted after the NID DAT? Ans. Studio Test is conducted within 1 and half months after results for the written test are declared. There is also a schedule mentioned on the NID website/prospectus every year. Q. How did you prepare for the NID studio test? Ans. I got an idea about the second phase that includes studio tests and interviews from my brother who had done Graphic Design from NID. He suggested me to talk to some of the senior students from the same discipline that I applied for. Talking to them gave me an overview of what the studio test of Apparel Design would be like. Then I practiced the same and tried to devise my time management strategy by practicing studio test exercises based on the studio test questions that I could find online. And with each practice session, I tried to figure out how I could improve and tried to incorporate the same in the next test. I took these tests every weekend after the first phase result was out. Q. Did you undergo any coaching for the NID studio test? Ans. No, I did not go for any coaching for the studio test. Q. Roughly how many students are shortlisted for NID Studio Test? Ans. It’s approximately 3 times the number of seats for every discipline. Popular Design Entrance Exams 2017 Check all important details around Design Entrance Exams for 2017 Q.
