As I am preparing for M.Des by taking that and CEED exams, where could I learn about studio test and portfolio building?
I am currently pursuing M.Tech in CSE from NIT, Durgapur (CGPA-7). I have already done my B.Tech with 7.55 CGPA. I am interested in design and curating new things and I am aiming for M.Des in NID.

Hi Suravi,
Almost every top design school will ask you to showcase your portfolio at the time of the admission interview. So, right after candidates give their Design Aptitude Test (that) for CEED or NID admissions, they should immediately start working on building their portfolio. You can find all the details about the portfolio building and studio test by following the below links:
