About Design College Entrance Exam Preparation
Why I Teach Design College Prep
I’ve spent 6 years helping folks crack entrance exams for NID, NIFT, and B.Arch. As an NID Ahmedabad grad, I know how tough these tests are but also how awesome it feels when you finally get in. My idea is simple - design isn’t just technique, it’s about finding your own voice and showing it off.
What You’ll Learn
- Creative aptitude test preparation isn’t just about theory; we sketch, study objects, play with color, and learn composition the messy, hands-on way.
- I show live demos so you see every step, not just hear about it.
- Fast sketching and perspective tricks, plus how to nail still life drawing - all key for design entrance drawing classes.
- Portfolio guidance for design admissions is personal here. We pick your best work, fill gaps, and polish until it’s solid. You’ll get honest feedback, not just generic advice.
Studio Vibe
We’re a small team focused on you, not social media. Classes run evenings and weekends, so you can join after school or work. Sometimes we get guest artists in, but mostly it’s me and you, working through your art and prepping for the exams.
Who’s this for? High schoolers aiming for undergrad design or working folks switching careers. If you want real feedback and don’t mind getting your hands dirty with charcoal, you’ll fit right in.

My Story
Hey, we’re Advik Art and Design. Started by an NID grad, but honestly, it’s about more than just teaching art. We’ve got kids, adults, all sorts walking in – some from far, some just curious. Seeing someone like Harinder Ma’am get her work into an art expo, or a kid never missing class, that’s what keeps us going. We’re a small crew, sometimes juggling other gigs, but our Noida studio? That’s home.
