You can complete your civil engineering course then take admission in Masters in interior designing. All you have to do is prepare yourself for the entrance tests and appear for the same. The GAT paper consists of academic subjects like Reasoning, Mathematics (till class X level), English Language & Comprehensions. The Business Domain segment needs a three pronged approach with studies in static GK, current affairs and fashion & industry awareness. The academic subjects can be studied through classroom contact programmes at a trusted and reputed place or through self-study with the help of some good competitive preparation books available in the market. However, my advice would be to go for individual subject books instead of some all-in-one format. However, the creative ability paper must be prepared under someone who knows the nitty gritty of the NIFT entrance exam. One must always work time bound during the preparation stage itself for both the papers. Here is a comprehensive list of topics that one can prepare: English: The questions are based on grammar and syntax. The common topics from which questions are asked are- synonyms, antonyms, idioms & phrases, spot the errors, cloze test, fill in the blanks, sentence correction, analogies, spelling errors, one-word substitution and ordering of sentences/ passage. Please work on your vocabulary extensively. Reasoning: Verbal & non-verbal - series, coding decoding, directions, ranking, sitting arrangement, syllogism, calendar, clocks, eligibility criteria, blood relations, cubes & dices, line counting, graph and puzzles. Mathematics: Number system, ratio proportion, averages, ages, profit & loss, speed time, upstream & downstream, mixtures & allegations, pipes & cisterns, work time, simple interest, compound interest, mensuration, set theory, trigonometry, height & distance, permutation n combination and probability. Creative Ability Test: Concepts of three dimensions, perspective drawings, product design, space design, the human figure, colour rendering and illustration skills, colour interpretation, visual communication questions like poster et al, product life cycle, process drawing and many more creative varieties, best taught under personal mentor supervision. I would suggest that in order to fare well in NIFT entrance exam one should work on overcoming their weaknesses while enhancing their strengths and always work and prepare in a time bound manner.
