The test was all about 3-D model making by manipulating material provided by the institute within the stipulated time limit. Each model must be accompanied by a caption and a write-up of 50-100 words.
In NIFT Situation Test 2019, candidates have to appear for a practical examination at their nearest NIFT centre. At the exam centre, candidates are provided with a set of material and they need to make 3D models using these materials to answer the questions put to them.
After making the models, aspirants need to accompany the same with a write-up explaining the model’s construction. The process of training potential candidates is quite detailed. They are first introduced to creative thinking to work on themes.
They are then trained in 3-D modeling with a range of material. Advanced model-making techniques are also imparted in this process. The institute even provided tips on preparing a write up. Discussing and solving the last ten years NIFT Situation test papers and solving ten mock test papers prepared by NIFT Alumni can be useful, they stated.
