A three hour examination called the Creative Ability Test (CAT) and a two hour examination called the General Ability Test (GAT). The CAT paper is a drawing paper while the GAT is a MCQ format paper with 100 questions to be attempted in 120 minutes. It comprises of General English (35 questions), Comprehension passages (6 to 8 in number with 30 questions in total), quantitative (25 questions), analytical reasoning (30 questions) and business domain (30 questions). How to Prepare for NIFT Entrance Exam 2020 The GAT paper consists of academic subjects like Reasoning, Mathematics (till class 10 level), English Language & Comprehensions. The Business Domain segment needs a three pronged approach with studies in static GK, current affairs and fashion & industry awareness. The academic subjects can be studied through classroom contact programmes at a trusted and reputed place or through self-study with the help of some good competitive preparation books available in the market. However, my advice would be to go for individual subject books instead of some all-in-one format. However, the creative ability paper must be prepared under someone who knows the nitty gritties of the NIFT Entrance Exam. One must always work time bound during the preparation stage itself for both the papers. Here is a comprehensive list of topics that one can prepare: English: The questions are based on grammar and syntax. The common topics from which questions are asked are - synonyms, antonyms, idioms & phrases, spot the errors, cloze test, fill in the blanks, sentence correction, analogies, spelling errors, one word substitution and ordering of sentences/ passage. Please work on your vocabulary extensively. Reasoning: Verbal & non-verbal - series, coding decoding, directions, ranking, sitting arrangement, syllogism, calendar, clocks, eligibility criteria, blood relations, cubes & dices, line counting, graph, puzzles et al. Mathematics: Number system, ratio proportion, averages, ages, profit & loss, speed time, upstream & downstream, mixtures & alligations, pipes & cisterns, work time, simple interest, compound interest, mensuration, set theory, trigonometry, height & distance, permutation n combination and probability. Creative Ability Test: Concepts of three dimensions, perspective drawings, product design, space design, human figure, colour rendering and illustration skills, colour interpretation, visual communication questions like poster et al, product life cycle, process drawing and many more creative varieties, best taught under personal mentor supervision. I would suggest that in order to fare well in NIFT Entrance Exam one should work on overcoming their weaknesses while enhancing their strengths and always work and prepare in a time bound manner. Wishing you All the Best for NIFT Entrance Exam!
