The aspirants need to take both the NIFT CAT and the NIFT GAT tests, in order to qualify for the next round of admissions in their B.Des, and M.Des courses.  

The weightage of each course depends on different criteria, like for admission in the B.Des courses CAT test carries 50% weightage, GAT is 30% and after the candidates qualify these two tests then they’re called for the NIFT situation tests. Similarly, for the M.Des courses, the CAT carries 40% weightage, GAT carries 30%, and then the rest 30% is the Group Discussion and the Personal Interview.  

For the NIFT Fashion Technology course, the entire 100% of weightage is carried by the GAT test and the M. FT courses, 70% weightage is the GAT test and the rest 30% is GD/PI.  

The first part of the NIFT examinations is the NIFT CAT Test or the NIFT Creative Ability Test. The candidates are evaluated based on their observational skills, intuition skills, innovation skills, concept development ability, and designing skills. The test tests the creative and the innovative use of color, and illustration that the candidate shows. The NIFT CAT test is conducted offline on a paper-pencil basis for the duration of three hours.  

The second part of the NIFT examination is the NIFT GAT Test or the NIFT General Ability Test. The candidates seeking admission in the B.Des programs have to appear in the NIFT GAT Test in order to qualify for the second round. The test consists of five sections, Quantitative ability, communication ability, English comprehension, Analytical Ability, General Knowledge, and Current Affairs. The test is conducted for a duration of 2 hours in offline mode.

According to sources, approximately 23,000 aspirants attempt NIFT examinations every year with only 4,517 total seats available in their B.Des and M.Des programs.
