Dear Aspirant,

The difficulty of the exam really depends on your preparation. If you are determined and prepared, you will surely ace it. Here are some tips for you to prepare better.

TIPS FOR PREPARATION

1. To get a hang of the question paper pattern, solve the previous year papers and mock tests. This would also help you assess your own preparation and the variations in difficulty levels in the entrance exam. The paper basically has two parts- Creative Aptitude Test (CAT) and General Aptitude Test (GAT)

CAT measures the intuition skills, observation skills, concept development and design ability of the candidate. Your colour and illustration skills will also be evaluated in this to measure as the test says creativity or creative aptitude.

GAT comprises the academic subjects, i.e., Mathematics (class 10th level), Reasoning, English Language and Comprehension. It also consists of GK, current affairs and the knowledge of fashion industry.

English consists of grammar, syntax, synonyms, antonyms, idioms and phrases, spot the error, sentence correction, analogies, fill in the blanks, spelling errors, one word substitution and arranging the sentences or passages in the correct order.

Reasoning consists of verbal and non-verbal series, coding-decoding, cubes and dices, directions, ranking, calendar, sitting arrangement, clocks, eligibility criteria, line counting, graph, syllogism, puzzles, blood relations and related things.

GK and Current Affairs section apart from the static GK and current affairs, also consists of your knowledge of the fashion industry. You should be thorough with TV endorsements and their taglines, brands, logos, celebrities, Miss Universe, Miss World, fashion terminology, entertainment events and the ongoing trends in fashion. Other than that, be thorough with current affairs consisting of the political, economic and social situation and also with sports, culture and history.

2. The number of the questions are divided as follows:

GK and current affairs- 15 marks

If you are giving the paper for B.F.Tech the weightage of GAT is 100% but for B.Des. the weightage of GAT is 30%, of CAT is 20% and of Situation Test is 20%.

3. Fix your goals and objectives and how you will prepare for the exam. If you keep brushing up your knowledge and keep practicing, you will be able to crack the exam.

4. Sketching is a very important part of the test. Observe a lot, challenge yourself, take inspiration and make your own renditions of the objects around you and objects of your imagination. The more you practice, the more better your sketches will get visually and conceptually too. Try to use your eraser at the least. try to add intricate details to them with nuances and minute observations.

5. Learn different styles of lettering or calligraphy, to add more points.

6. Improve your speed. You will have a limited time to answer your questions, so you do your work fast and at its best. Try to express your uniqueness and imagination in the given time frame.

Hope this helps and all the best!
