- CAT (Creative Ability Test)
- GAT (General Ability Test)
- Situation Test
- GD & PI (for PG programs)
With increasing competition every year and limited seats across India’s 20 NIFT campuses, passing the entrance exam requires expert preparation. afdindia offers specialized NIFT coaching for students in Chennai with:
- Concept-based teaching
- Regular mock tests
- Updated study materials
- Situation test practice
- One on one guidance
Over the past 25 years, afdindia has assisted thousands of students in passing the NIFT, making us one of the most reputable NIFT coaching centres in Chennai.
NID Coaching in Chennai
If you want to get into the National Institute of Design (NID) for B.Des or M.Des programs, you have to succeed on the Design Aptitude Test (DAT). The exam happens in two stages:
- DAT Prelims – A written test (objective + subjective)
- DAT Mains – Studio test + personal interaction
With campuses spread across the country like Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Assam, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Gandhinagar, NID is highly sought after, and because there are limited seats, the entrance exam is incredibly competitive. afdindia prepares NID aspirants through:
- NID drawing and creativity training
- Regular DAT mock tests
- Studio test practice modules
- Portfolio development sessions
- Personal interview preparation
Our faculty pool includes NID alumni and experienced design trainers who guide students using a proven, structured approach.
UCEED Coaching in Chennai
The UCEED (Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design) is the admissions test conducted by IIT Bombay, for getting into B.Des programs at top schools like IIT Bombay, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Roorkee, IIITDM Jabalpur, and many other top design colleges.
The exam has two parts:
- Part A – Objective (NAT, MSQ, MCQ) – computer-based
- Part B – Drawing + design aptitude – paper-based
Strong visualization, analytical abilities, geometry knowledge, and drawing skills are necessary for success in UCEED. afdindia assists students in developing these abilities by:
- Topic-wise UCEED concept training
- Objective test practice
- Advanced drawing workshops
- IIT-style mock exams
- Time-bound practice sessions
With UCEED becoming a major goal for students aiming for top IIT seats, afdindia’s structured coaching gives you the essential competitive edge.
