Hello,





There is no issue in preparing for nift if you have opted for science stream.

Follow these steps as this will help you to prepare for nift.



1. Know  the syllabus well

Aspirants who are appearing for NIFT entrance exam should have the syllabus at their fingertips. They sit for General Ability Test (GAT) and Creative Ability Test (CAT) in the entrance exam. Students should be thorough will all the topics that are covered in GAT and MAT.

Topics covered in GAT are mentioned below:

English comprehension

General knowledge

Current affairs

Quantitative ability

Analytical ability

Communication ability

Topics covered in CAT are as follow:

Designing ability

Illustration skills

Knowledge and use of color palette

Intuitive ability

Observation power

In addition, candidates who clear CAT and GAT will have to appear for a situation test, which will assess their competency in handling materials.



2) Understand the Paper Pattern

To prepare effectively for the examination, students should comprehend the paper pattern well and style. They should know the types of the questions asked in the exam, practice previous years question papers so that they get familiar with the question pattern. The entrance test consists of two main parts- Creative Aptitude Test and General Aptitude Test.



3) Work on Your Sketching Skills

Sketching is one of the prerequisite skills in fashion industry. Your idea and creativity are of no use if you are not able to convey them on paper. To be precise, if you are poor at sketching, chances are slim that you would be able to get through the exam. To beat this challenge, you can enroll yourself in a sketching training class in case you are not skillful at it. Another useful tip is that always carry a notebook as you never know when some striking idea would cross your mind. Having a notebook along with you will enable you to practice on the spot. At the time of practising, you should be mindful of the following factors:

The figures need to be of the right proportion.

Your pencil strokes should be straight and clear and should not have any trace of erasing history.

Your observation skill will reflect on your sketches, so be innovative and unique

Do not stress as it is not one hit wonder, you will improve your sketching skill with practice over a period of time.



4) Manage Time

Time management is one of the important skills that one should learn so that they do not miss on any question as there is limited time to answer the questions. You need to pick up your pace while solving the questions. Also, you should be careful while answering the paper because speed can take a toll on your accuracy. The only way to maintain balance between speed and accuracy is practice. The more you practise, the better you will be with speed and accuracy.



5. Keep Short Notes Handy for Revision

It is not feasible to go through all the topics in detail while revising. Making short notes covering all the important points will go a long way. The short notes definitely boost your chances of performing well in the exam.



6. Get Your Basics Right

Having sketchy knowledge when you are preparing for an entrance exam will not suffice. You should have in-depth knowledge in each and every topic in the syllabus. Learning formulas may help in some case but competitive exams are more about logic.



I hope this helps.
