Krishna Gilda
NID 2020 - AIR 1

"From all the institutes which I researched, SILICA is the best I found. The course material, the teaching & non-teaching staff, the online learning portal helped me alot to get my dream college. SILICA helped to build my own vision of Design."
Kashish Gupta, NID 2020 Topper - AIR 4 sharing his experience with SILICA

Kashish Gupta
NID 2020 - AIR 4

"Studying at SILICA for the past two years have been the most fruitful years of my life so far. It was under their guidance and the undying support of my faculty that I could secure not just 1 but 2 ranks in two separate National Design Exams."
Ruchit Dhakita, NID 2020 Topper (AIR 4)

Ruchit Dhakita
NID 2020 - AIR 4

I am really thankful to the SILICA faculties, the non teaching staff for guiding me to the right direction. I especially want to mention that LMS (Online Learning Portal) was the Bible for me. It helped me to know what design analysis is.
Vedantika Ray, NIFT 2019 - AIR 1 sharing her experience with SILICA

Purav Bhardwaj
NID 2019 - AIR 2

"The guidance I received at Silica was invaluable. Teachers here take careful consideration in helping and guiding students, which was helpful for my preparation. The course material is meticulously designed to help students recognize their strengths and weaknesses, and the overall environment at SILICA is one that incubates creativity. I'd like to thank SILICA for making my journey easier throughout."

Due to COVID-19 , the NID DAT Mains was conducted Online from home. Details related to Online interaction were sent to the candidate’s registered email id. The exact time and date was mentioned in the admit card. Also, students had to submit their required documents for verification purposes. Candidates were allowed to choose their campus and course program during the process of counselling and can freeze their seat.

There was change in weightage for the evaluation of final result of NID DAT. The weightage for B.Des DAT Prelims was 70% and for DAT Mains is 30% (online interaction). For M.Des, the revised weightage for DAT Prelims – Common Design Aptitude Test was 15% & Discipline Specific Test was 45% and for DAT Mains (online interview) weightage was 40%.

The DAT Mains consists of two parts:

  • Studio Test: This may consist of tests in different formats such as drawing / sketching, hands-on model making, group discussions, observation tests, problem solving tests etc. This test will be marked out of 100 marks and will be conducted in English.
  • Interviews (only for MDes): The interviews will be conducted separately for each discipline, immediately after the Studio Test, at the same centre. This will be marked out of 100 marks. This will be an opportunity for the students to present themselves and their design portfolio to the jury.
  • Note: The DAT prelims score carries 70-80% weightage in final score. For MDes, the split is Studio Test (50%) and Interview (30%).


  • NID B.Des. Studio Test - The questions will be common / similar for all.
  • NID M.Des. Studio Test - The questions will be design discipline specific.
  • The following table shows a list of topics and questions, which can be asked in the Studio Test:
# Type of Question Sample Question
1 Doodling & Drawing Observe the car parked outside and sketch it from 2 different angles.
2 Observation Tests Questions which will test your observation through the 5 senses: Sight, Hearing, Touch, Smell, Taste. E.g. List down all the ingredients that made up the breakfast you had this morning.
3 3D Model Making Use the given clay and thin wire to create a 3D model of your favorite cartoon or animation character.
4 Problem Solving More Applicable to M.Des. E.g. Automobile Design: Design the dashboard of concept motorbike by Honda. Please explain your concept through notes and sketches. Please show final rendering of the dashboard of the motorbike.
5 Group Discussions In a group of 10 candidates, have a group discussion on the following statement. Discuss either For or Against the statement. “Do quarrels strengthen relationships?”
6 Other Tests (Skits etc) In a group of 5 candidates, prepare a 3 minute skit on the following topic:“Incredible India!”

There is no standard list of questions which are asked in a design admission interview. The questions will revolve around the candidate’s life, personality, temperament, achievements and creative outputs till date.

Some sample questions are:

  1. Why do you want to join NID? What will you do if you don’t get into NID?
  2. What would you do if you find a homeless person on the street shivering in cold?
  3. In one minute, tell us why we should select you at NID?
  4. You have one minute, make us laugh.
  5. For M.Des. (E.g. Product Design):
    • Who is your favorite Product Designer?
    • What are some of the new products that fascinate you? Why?
    • What is happening in the Indian Product Design industry?

A design portfolio is not mandatory for admission to NID, but it helps the interviewer in assessing the suitability of the candidate for NID. During the interview, the candidate may present their past work (academic and/or professional) such as drawings, photographs, models, relevant documents etc., which they may like to share with the interview panel. These may be in analogue or digital (in a USB drive or your own laptop) format. The portfolio should reflect the candidate’s interests and abilities.
