The Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DAIICT) conducts the Design Aptitude Test (DAT) for admission into its M.Des. (Communication Design) program. The DAT is structured into three parts, each carrying 20 marks:

1. Assesses drawing skills, imaginative visualization, and problem interpretation abilities.

2. Evaluates understanding of various design idioms and visual/performative art forms across different social and cultural contexts.

3. Focuses on the candidate's analytical and creative thinking skills.

To advance to the interview stage, candidates must score at least 40% in the DAT. The final selection is based on a combined assessment, with the DAT contributing 60% and the interview 40% to the overall evaluation.
