Entrance Test
The Academy strives to steer students to the defined graduate profile. We look out for talented, intelligent, ambitious students who are prepared to put in their best efforts to build a fulfilling career. We nurture young people with all-round abilities who show the energy, the potential and the commitment to be the industry captains of tomorrow.
So when we are assessing you, we will be particularly evaluating your career focus, your creative and aesthetic sense, your level of commitment and energy, your potential as a team member, your ability to handle stress, and, of course, your communication skills. For this purpose, every applicant whose eligibility is proven passes through entrance test(s), other screening methods and an interview. Those candidates, who register strong indications of both proficiency and aptitude, are selected in order of merit, subject to the overall intake.
Admission Procedure for UG Programmes
Tests for FMP, FRM
Candidates answer a 60-minute General Proficiency Test (GPT) in English language to demonstrate their proficiency in language (comprehension, vocabulary, and expression), basic arithmetic, logic etc. Successful candidates from the GPT are called for further screening through Group Discussion and Personal Interview.
Tests for FD, TD, CD, JD
Candidates answer the General Proficiency Test (GPT) in English language to demonstrate their proficiency in language (comprehension, vocabulary and expression), basic arithmetic, logic etc. They thereafter appear in the Design Aptitude Test (DAT) which examines a candidate's aptitude for creativity, drawing and communication skills.
Candidates who score above the cut-off score from GPT and DAT are called for Situational Test and Personal Interview.
The Situational Test is a group activity in which you will have to collaborate with other candidates to implement a design brief with provided materials within a stipulated duration of time.
