NIFT Counselling

It's important to keep in mind that, while sketching abilities can be advantageous, they are not the only criterion for admission if you're interested in pursuing a Master's in Design in Interaction or Graphic Design from organisations like NID (National Institute of Design), NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology), or IITs. Institutions often analyse candidates' talents, creativity, aptitude, portfolios, and interview performance holistically. The entire skill set needed for design programmes includes more than just sketching; admissions committees also take into account things like conceptual thinking, problem-solving capabilities, the ability to communicate visually, and an awareness of design concepts.All the best for your further studies!
