You will given a question to design a model with the materials provided and you will be allowed to use any additional or outside material at the time of making the model. After the model is finished you need to explain it in English language. Here are few tips that can help you to perform well in Situation Test

• You can practice for the situation test of NIFT by making different models at home.

• Improve your observation skills by analyzing different objects.

• You must use different kinds of materials while experimenting with various models.

• List of materials that students can use for practice are:

1. Glaze Papers

2. Plasticine Clay

3. Copper Wire

4. Ivory Sheets,

5. Cardboard

6. Thermocol (thick And Thin)

7. Kite Papers

Hello,

Yes, the performance in Situation Test has 20% weightage, Creative Ability Test  has 50% weightage and General Ability Test has 30% weightage. So the marks scored in Situation Test will determine your rank along with the marks scored CAT and GAT. You may even disqualify in Situation if you do not explain the model you have designed in English language. As the course of instruction will be in English you need to demonstrate the designed model in English, if you use any other language then you will be disqualified, As there is weightage for GAT, CAT and Situation Test you need to perform well in all tests so that you will secure a decent rank in NIFT Entrance Examination.

Hi,

The thing with the situation test is that, we don't have any hard and fast rule to crack it. I feel it is mostly about your presence of mind, material handling skills and creativity.

Here are some useful tips that must works for you :-

• Prepare a tool kit with all utilities like a geometry box, foot ruler in metal & plastic, paper knife, scissors big & small, cello tape, glue stick, fevicol, all pins, markers etc.
• Practice handling of all types of craft materials. You could work on the following given materials by trying to practice how to cut and attach within the same material category & also across the material category.
• Some materials to practice with are – card board, thermocol (thick & thin), glaze papers, kite papers, handmade sheet, cellophane, fabric, coloured clay, aluminium foil, aluminium sheet, sun pack, foam, straw pipe, mouldable aluminium wire, transparency sheet, cotton, rubber sheet, gift wrapping sheet, beads & sequences etc.
• Always Work Time Bound. It is pointless to keep sitting with a single assignment for more than 2 hours as that is the time limit you have.
• Explore the possibilities with the materials at hand.
• Work through a contact session through an experienced and trusted mentor, following a video can only help in developing your skill and  that too for only that one model you watch being made. But a mentor nurtures and develops you into an independent thinker and explorer with heightened creative quotient, which helps you handle any question variety.

Hope this helps get a direction for maximising your 20% of your situation test contribution to your merit.  Do remember, nothing replaces a mentor, so find a good one.

Good luck.
