UNDERSTAND THE STAGE

NIFT CAT & GAT

Plan the first stage of NIFT preparation around the tests required by your chosen programme.

A practical preparation route

  1. Identify whether your programme requires CAT, GAT or both.
  2. Use CAT practice to develop ideas, colour sensitivity and visual communication.
  3. Use GAT practice to strengthen quantitative, analytical and language skills.
  4. Review the official syllabus and complete timed practice with an error log.

Keep the programme in view

B.Des and M.Des applicants take CAT and GAT. Other programmes have different test requirements: choose your programme before planning preparation. Shortlisted regular B.Des candidates take the Situation Test. Postgraduate selection can include a Personal Interview. B.F.Tech selection is based on GAT; a second stage is not universal.

These are preparation suggestions. Confirm the exact assessment, instructions and selection criteria in the current official handbook.
