Design Exam Coaching for NID, NIFT, and UCEED in Gurgaon
We provide practical, hands-on coaching to help you ace your design entrance exams. From sketching speed to 3D model making, we build the skills you actually need.
This 3D model of a gaming trophy is a perfect example of the hands-on work we do for B.Des studio test preparation. I guide students through the entire process, from initial concept and material selection to final construction, ensuring they are ready for the practical challenges of exams like NID and UCEED.
This is a student's product design concept for a smart travel bag, created as part of their UCEED and CEED exam preparation. We work on developing innovative ideas and presenting them clearly through technical drawings, focusing on functionality and user-centered design.
Speed and accuracy are crucial for design exams. This collection of rapid sketches, including figure drawing and expressive portraits, demonstrates the kind of dynamic drawing skills I help my students develop to capture form and movement effectively under pressure.
Understanding and conveying emotion is a key skill for illustrators and designers. In this exercise, we break down how to sketch different facial expressions, a fundamental part of character design and narrative drawing for UCEED and CEED exams.
This is a concept illustration of a werewolf, created by a student preparing for NID and NIFT. We focus on visual storytelling and developing a strong imagination, guiding students to create compelling characters and scenes for their portfolios.
Practice makes progress. Here you can see the dedicated practice involved in preparing for the UCEED exam, focusing on perspective drawing and complex scene composition. Consistent effort is the key to success.

About Design Exam Launchpad: NID, NIFT, UCEED Prep
Getting into design schools like NID or NIFT isn't just about drawing well; it’s about how fast and accurately you can translate an idea onto paper or into a 3D model. We limit our batches to 6-10 students so I can personally critique your perspective drawings and material handling techniques, ensuring you stop guessing and start building your portfolio the right way.
Whether you are targeting NID, NIFT, UCEED, or CEED, the journey requires more than just general practice. It requires specific, goal-oriented training. In my studio, we don't just fill sketchbooks—we break down complex subjects like anatomy, 1-3 point perspective, and visual storytelling into manageable, repeatable steps.
For the Phase 2 studio tests, we move beyond 2D paper. You will get your hands dirty with clay, wire, thermocol, and cardstock, mastering the 3D construction skills that often trip up students during the situation test. I guide you through mock tests and timed drills, simulating the pressure of the exam hall so you can walk into your test feeling prepared rather than anxious.
We meet 2-3 times a week at my Gurgaon studios in Civil Lines and Sector 65. If you are 17 or older and serious about your B.Des or BFA goals, I am here to help you develop the conceptual skills that examiners actually look for. Let's get to work.
