About Art & Design Entrance Exam Coaching
What We Do
If you’re aiming for NID, NIFT, or NATA, I get how overwhelming entrance exams can feel. We help you prep for these big design and architecture exams, plus Maharashtra’s Elementary and Intermediate Grade Drawing Exams. Our coaching is focused, practical, and honest - no shortcuts, just real skill-building.
How We Coach
- We teach you to think like a designer, not just memorize stuff. Design thinking workshops are a big part of our sessions.
- Sketching classes for NIFT and other exams cover everything from still life (sometimes you’ll be drawing boring stuff like buckets, but it works) to memory drawing.
- We mix traditional and modern art forms, so you get creative confidence and find your own style.
- All the basics are covered: 2D/3D composition, colour theory, and even GK for the exams.
For Younger Students
Our art foundation course for teens (Std. VIII-X) is a solid way to start early. It’s not just about exam prep - it’s about building a strong base for your creative journey.
Flexible Batches
School, tuitions, hobbies - sab manage karna padta hai (gotta juggle everything). That’s why we offer weekend batches, after-school classes, and crash courses for last-minute prep. Some days are tough, but we’re here to help you keep going.

Arkin Art & Design
My Story
I’m the founder of Arkin Art Classes, where imagination runs wild, and rules take a back seat. Kids here turn triangles into masterpieces, paint umbrellas on rainy days, and even craft eco-friendly Ganpati for Ganesh Chaturthi. We’ve had little artists from Tokyo join in too! It’s not about perfect art, it’s about messy hands, big smiles, and the joy of creating. Every day, we celebrate self-expression and confidence, no matter your age.
