What is the best coaching across India to prepare for the CEED, NID and NIFT exam?

DG
Deepa Garg Posted On : February 2nd, 2021
Fashion Design Student at NIFT Bangalore (2019)

If you are passionate and serious about a career in design, then try to rely on your potential, aptitude and knowledge about the subject matter. All design entrance exams value creativity and originality, and no coaching centre can help you ‘learn’ creativity or instil originality in you. 

Following are a brief overview of the exams:

Categories

CEED 

NID

NIFT

Conducting Body

IIT Bombay

National Institute of Design

National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT)

Exam Level

National Level

National Level

National Level

Exam Duration

3 hours

2:30 -3 hours

2-3 hours

Thus, instead of paying huge sums of money to coaching centres, you can follow some of these suggestions:

  • Be observant. Try to notice and observe everyday objects and things from a design perspective. You must analyse details, designs and shadows of daily objects; think about them in an original manner.
  • Study colour schemes for the entrances. Questions related to colours are absolutely necessary. Representation and their symbolism is a must.
  • Study advertisements on television and various social media platforms. A lot depends on these, so try to study them, their purpose and targets.
  • To improve your English language skills, you can read newspapers and articles. It is the best way to develop an extensive vocabulary, and brush up on your general knowledge. A huge portion of the exam is dedicated to language skills, so try to build your vocabulary, study idioms and common phrases and more.
  • Brush up on your mathematical skills. If you understand the basics and you can easily score well in the math section of the exam.
  • Try solving questions related to logical reasoning as frequently as possible. Logical reasoning is extremely scoring and a significant section in various exams.
  • Arihant Self Study Guide is the best book for design preparation. It is thorough, covers all the aspects of the exam and helps you prepare properly. You must solve previous year questions to get a grasp over the type of questions asked and the level difficulty of the exam. 

These are some of the alternatives to coaching centres which you can follow in order to crack the exam. Rather spending money on coaching classes, try these suggestions to crack the exams.

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : April 12th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

To draw a better comparison, let’s differentiate IIT Roorkee and IIT Mumbai on the basis of branches 

CSE- On the basis of the research output, location, and popularity, Mumbai is the winner in this case while Roorkee stands in 4 or 5 positions.

ECE/Communications/Signal Processing: IIT Roorkee and KGP are the most preferred IITs. But considering the job opportunities, IIT Mumbai is again a winner.

EE: IIT Delhi's Electrical Engineering is considered the best-rank department internationally among other IITs. Mumbai and Roorkee are equally good but IIT Bombay again is slightly at an advantage. 

Mechanical: Madras and Mumbai are the best. Roorkee is also decent but yet not at par with IIT Bombay standards.

Chemical: IIT Bombay has an upper due to its better research output and the number of practicing chemical engineers.

Physics: Applied science is definitely better at IIT Roorkee. Even though its research and lab quality is comparable, however, IIT Bombay is preferred owing to the diversity in handling research problems.

Mathematics: In this case, IIT Kanpur takes the lead followed by Roorkee and Mumbai.

Chemistry: IIT Bombay is the best in every aspect.

Civil- IIT Roorkee’s Civil is considered the best in Asia. 

Space Sciences: Owing to its collaboration with ISRO, IIT Roorkee is the best.

How is the MSc Applied Statistics and Informatics course in IIT Bombay?

AT
Adwait Tejas Posted On : March 17th, 2023
studied Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (2021)

 MSc Applied Statistics and Infometrics at IIT Bombay can be challenging for some students who did their B.Sc from Mumbai University, especially if they did not receive sufficient training in statistics. In comparison to Delhi University and Calcutta University, the Mumbai University curriculum is relatively deficient in statistical topics. Consequently, most of the students in the class come from DU and CU. While DU and CU students are often comfortable during the first quarter or half of the semester since they studied similar topics in their bachelor's programs, Mumbai University students may struggle to keep up.

Despite the challenges, this course is in line with current analytics trends in the market. The course requires students to complete not only statistics courses but also intermediate-level computer science courses such as C, C++, Data Structures, and Applied Algorithms. Students also receive some exposure to statistical software, depending on which software the professor prefers: SaS or R.
