Mock Test Series
NIFT Mock Test 2027
Class 11–12 and droppers aiming for B.Des at NIFT. GAT on screen (2 hours) + CAT drawing (3 hours)
About the NIFT B.Des mock tests
NIFT's B.Des entrance has two papers on the same day: the General Ability Test on screen and the Creative Ability Test on paper. Our NIFT mock tests give you both, with the exact GAT sections and marking, and mentor feedback on your CAT drawings — the paper that carries half the weight.
NIFT 2027 dates are announced by NIFT/NTA; the 2026 exam was held on 8 February 2026. Source: NIFT admissions. Always confirm dates on the official website.

How to use NIFT mocks well

- CAT is half your merit: always take it as a full 3-hour paper, and plan colour and composition before you start.
NIFT mock test: questions
What is the NIFT GAT pattern for B.Des?
100 multiple-choice questions in 2 hours: 40 English, 20 quantitative, 15 analytical and logical, and 25 GK and current affairs. Each correct answer is +1 and each wrong answer −0.25. There's no case study for B.Des.
How much does the NIFT CAT count?
For B.Des, the CAT counts for 50% of the final merit, the GAT 30% and the Situation Test 20%.
Can I take a break between GAT and CAT in the mock?
Yes. As on exam day, GAT and CAT are separate papers; the CAT clock starts only when you press Start.
Is Mock Test 1 really free?
Yes. Fill in a short form and Mock 1 of any series opens straight away, timed and marked like the paid tests. Objective questions are marked instantly, and a TDH mentor reviews up to 2 of your drawing answers. In the full series, every drawing is marked.
Can I get personal guidance on my mock tests?
Yes. Connect with our counsellors to book a one-on-one session with a TDH mentor, for example to go through your answers, your drawings and your plan for the next few weeks. Mentor sessions are paid and booked separately from the mock test series.
What do I get in the full series?
10 full-length mock tests on the latest pattern of your exam, instant scores with section-wise and topic-wise reports, explanations for every objective question, and your drawing answers marked by a TDH mentor with written feedback. ₹799 at launch (MRP ₹999).
How do the drawing questions work online?
Just like the real exam, you draw on paper during the test. When time is up you get 20 extra minutes to photograph your sheets and upload them. A TDH mentor marks them against the criteria in the question and emails you the marks and feedback.
What if my internet drops or the page closes?
Your answers save automatically every few seconds, and the timer runs on our server. Reopen the test on any device and you'll continue where you left off, with the time that's left.
Can I take the tests on a phone?
Yes, the test screen works on phones, but a laptop or tablet is closer to the real computer-based exams. Keep your phone handy to photograph drawing answers.
When are new tests released?
New mocks are added through the season, each one checked by our mentors before release. Your series page shows which tests are open and which are coming next.
How do I open my tests on another device?
