Do I need to solve sample papers for IIAD exam 2025?

The IIAD DAT paper includes:

• Visual and creative thinking questions

• Drawing-based problem-solving

• Observation and design sensitivity

• Analytical and logical reasoning

• Situational responses

Candidates are selected for IIAD UG and PG programmes on the basis of the following:

• Performance in the IIAD Design Aptitude Test (iDAT) or iMAT (for management programmes)
• Performance in the Studio Test/Personal Interview
• Portfolio review (for some programmes)

The process is similar, but PG applicants (M.Des / MBA) are assessed using iMAT instead of iDAT, and emphasis may be placed more on portfolio, work experience, or interview performance.

After the declaration of the IIAD result:

1. Confirm your IIAD admission by accepting the offer

2. Pay the IIAD admission/registration fee within the given deadline

3. Submit necessary documents and prepare for IIAD orientation.

No. The IIAD result is final and binding. Re-evaluation is not available as the process includes interviews and subjective assessments.
