Starting 2024, the design entrance exam will consist of two parts: Part A and Part B. The part A will be administered thorough a computer based test and will consist of three sections (NAT, MSQ and MCQ). The part B will have two questions: one on Drawing and the other on design aptitude.

The part-A will have questions from visualization and spatial reasoning, practical and scientific knowledge, observation and design sensitivity, environment and society, analytical and logical reasoning, language, creativity, art and design knowledge, and design methods and practices. The part B will consist of drawing, creativity, communication, and problem identification, as per the official notice.
