From Exam to Interview- Part II (Tips from IITians on how to qualify for IIT to learn design)

  This is a summary of notes I took while listening to an awesome podcast named as "Styrofoam" created by IDC (IIT Bombay) students to assist other design students. Even if you read these notes, I recommend that you listen to the original podcast series on Soundcloud because it is a lot of fun.

AFTER CEED

Following ceed, you will be given a screening task in which you must select your desired discipline. You'll need to show top projects or work in progress in that discipline that you've worked on. Make a presentation of your work by documenting it.

As soon as you receive your score and are qualified, upload the required documents, answer the questions, and complete the screening tasks.

If you're applying to multiple disciplines, each one has a different screening task. To avoid technical issues, keep uploading your assignments as soon as you finish them, one by one. You can make changes later.

There will be a screening task as well as a task specific to the discipline. Work as meticulously as possible on the assignments. Don't leave any information out. Choose the top two projects to work on. Make a list of why you want to practice that discipline. What are the different levels of expertise when it comes to working with materials and software? What are the topics of your personal research?

While you're waiting for the results, work on your portfolio and gather the necessary documents for verification. Read the mail carefully to determine which documents you will need to bring with you. Maintain digital copies of all documents both online and on a pendrive.

Studio tests are on-the-spot assessments of your design thinking, approach, and problem-solving abilities conducted the day before the interview. Some discipline-specific tests are limited to text and sketching, while others may include tasks such as building physical automobile models. Studio tests are given a lot more scrutiny. Prepare for the interview, which may include a discussion of the studio test. In the studio test, you should be able to justify whatever decision and approach you took.

Confirm the location of the studio test and the day's schedule.

Interview schedules are posted in the same location as the studio test. Make sure you double-check your name and the amount of time you've been given. When you go to the interview, make sure you have all of your original documents with you.

Eat something in the time between sessions when you have free time.

Choose activities that will help you relax throughout the day. Anything that clears and refreshes your mind while also reducing the pressure, such as wandering around the locations, getting to know other candidates, and making a good first impression.


All about interview in the next part.

Tips before and during CEED Completely solve and evaluate the previous year's paper with solutions. Learn what to expect during the exam. Recognize where you went wrong. Display the question paper on the computer screen in order to get used to the exam environment.

From Exam to Interview- Part III (Tips from IITians on how to qualify for IIT to learn design)

  This is a summary of notes I took while listening to an awesome podcast named as "Styrofoam" created by IDC (IIT Bombay) students to assist other design students. Even if you read these notes, I recommend that you listen to the  original podcast series on Soundcloud  because it is a lot of fun. INTERVIEW Be genuine. It's impossible to oversize enough. This includes everything from not overstating skills and knowledge that the interviewer may inquire about to accurately describing the contribution that you make to the studio. Don't overestimate your abilities just to get by.  It's perfectly acceptable to state that you don't know. They don't ask for your specific contribution to a group effort, but they do prefer that you can identify your role, responsibility, and contribution. Never claim credit for someone else's work. It's fine to be inspired and borrow, but make sure you credit them properly. Avoid claiming that something is original when it ...

Tips for design entrance exam (Advice from a designer from Amazon)

 Here is the highlight of the conversation between Sanjay Reddy, founder of DesignExStudio, and Prasanna Gadkari, alumini of IISC, Bangalore. If you learn design from an institute, it will help to in your resume as well as y ou will learn the scientific techniques required to stay in the design field. IIT Bombay is superior in terms of branding. Look through the old question papers and try to find solutions. Three months is the ideal amount of time to study and prepare. Set aside a few hours each day to practice aptitude as much as possible. Develop your ability to think and express yourself on paper. If you prepare for ceed, you are already ready for nid. Study aptitude and try to get half or more correct answers in Part A. Rapid sketching is also very important - if you don't get into IITs or NIDs on the first try, try again if you have the time to prepare. If you are unable to do so, look for the curriculum and contact the alumini of the private institut...
