Hi,
National Institute of Designing interviews are held only to check whether you are really interested in that course or not. They want to see how keen you are to pursue for that particular course and what is the reason behind it. Personal interviews are not to check your abilities or the speaking skills or the language because you have already cleared the GAT (General Ability Test), so it's clear to them that you are good at English language and you have knowledge about design and you are creative.
So, they only ask you very general questions like:
- Tell me something about yourself?
- Where are you from?
- What do your parents do?
- W

Below answer that was given in NID is quite interesting.
Q: You have to Survive on Rs 20/ only from 5 AM in the morning till 10 PM at night at your own and away from the residential areas.
Describe your plan for the day and how you spend your money. Give the breakup in detail? The beauty of these questions lies in the inexactness of the answers: the fact that such questions can have multiple answers and all can be correct. One thing is clear you cant prepare for NID Test the same way you prepare for Medical or Engineering entrance test.
Some spontaneous options suggested by students:OPTION I

Below answer that was given in NID is quite interesting.

The beauty of these questions lies in the inexactness of the answers: the fact that such questions can have multiple answers and all can be correct. One thing is clear you cant prepare for NID Test the same way you prepare for Medical or Engineering entrance test.
Some spontaneous options suggested by students:OPTION I
I'll drink tea & buy vada pav from a local vendor.
Not a clever choice: Shows the student is not aware of the market prices as a cup of tea costs between Rs. 10-12 and vada pav around Rs. 15-20. Still, more money is needed for the rest of the day.OPTION II
I'll keep fast for the day.
Instead of focusing on the problem and finding a solution, the student is looking for the easier way out. This option fails to highlight the problem-solving ability of the student.OPTION IIIBreakfast: I'll eat a small pack of Glucose Biscuits ( Parle G costs just Rs. 2 ) along with half cup tea costing Rs. 6 for breakfast. This will provide me with enough energy for the starting of the day.
Will search for a local Dhaba (eatery) which is short of staff for the day. Will offer services from 5pm 10pm, in exchange for dinner.
In Between: Indian afternoons are generally hot. Will rest at the nearest mall to conserve my energy for the day (All Shopping Malls are Air Conditioned with safe R.O. drinking water and clean washrooms.
Lunch: Will visit a Mandir or Gurudwara and eat the Prasad for lunch.
Evening Snack: Another pack of Glucose Biscuit.
Dinner: Will offer help at a local Dhaba ( eatery ) in exchange for food. If I get lucky, I may also get tips.
Leftover amount of Rs. 10 will be used on public transport for commuting in the daytime.
This option provides a detailed and well-thought plan for the day. With little improvements, it can qualify to be the most eligible answer.

Any NID aspirant may ask, why ask theory questions to check creativity? Answer: Now, these questions were not always a part of NID DAT. Before the year 2009, hardly any theory questions were asked, but in the year 2009, NID DAT became NEED & theory questions became an important part of the exam also contributing a significant bulk to the total weightage. Coming back to the above question, why ask theory questions to check creativity?
