Design Power Batch 2027 is designed for students preparing for NIFT, NID, and UCEED entrance exams. It focuses on building strong fundamentals in sketching, portfolio development, drawing techniques, and creative aptitude through live classes, practice sessions, and faculty guidance. Beginners can also start from scratch with step-by-step learning support.
Here introduces the Design Power Batch 2027 free online demo class conducted via YouTube session for design entrance preparation. It provides guidance on sketching basics, portfolio building, drawing techniques, and exam strategy for NIFT, NID, and UCEED aspirants. This helps students understand the teaching style and preparation approach before joining the full batch.
This batch is designed for complete preparation of NIFT, NID, and UCEED, focusing on creativity, drawing skills, aptitude development, and exam strategy.

Here introduces students to the design learning environment, where even beginners are guided from scratch. The mentor explains that:
No prior drawing experience is required
Everything starts with basic sketching
Learning depends on practice + curiosity
There is no shortcut or “secret formula”
The demo class helps students understand how structured design preparation works in an online learning setup.
Yes, absolutely. Even students who can only draw basic lines and circles can start.
The teaching approach includes:
Starting from the zero level
Building sketching skills step by step
Daily practice-based improvement
Developing observation skills
Success depends more on consistent practice than talent
It is recommended to submit 8 to 12 works for a portfolio, avoiding an overwhelming bundle. This should include your explorations, finished works, and your journal. (Memory Tip: A journal is a drawing or sketch book used for practice and studying subjects; include rough sketches from your journal alongside your finished works.)
This section differentiates common paper types based on their characteristics and recommended usage for design aspirants.
|
Type of Paper |
Characteristics |
Usage |
|---|---|---|
|
Copier Sheets |
Thin, typically 80 to 100 GSM. |
Primarily for printouts; recommended for home practice. |
|
Cartridge Sheets |
Slightly rough texture, yellowish/creamy color, thicker. |
Recommended for portfolio work. |
|
Ivory Sheets |
Very smooth texture, pure white color, thick. |
Also recommended for portfolio work. |
For portfolio work, use Ivory or Cartridge sheets. For home practice, use A4 Copier sheets. This approach helps students prepare for exam environments, as paper quality in design entrance exams is generally not high.
Design entrance exams typically provide A4-sized sheets. The exam centre only provides the question paper or answer booklet. Students are responsible for carrying their own stationery, water bottle, and writing pad. No stationery will be provided by the exam center.
Teaching for design exams begins with the very basics. Students are expected to put in 200% effort if the class provides 100% effort. Consistent home practice is absolutely essential; relying solely on classroom learning will put students behind.
If 10 objects are drawn in class, students should study them and then draw 10 more different objects from their surroundings at home. This iterative process of observation and drawing is fundamental for learning and improving.
Yes, real objects can be drawn for the portfolio. The emphasis should be on demonstrating your study of the object. This includes drawing it from different angles, analyzing its opening and closing mechanisms, and exploring its texture. These detailed studies should be evident in the portfolio.
For notebooks, use binder sheets (A4 copier sheets with spiral binding) or normal copier sheets kept in a file. The key requirement is to use normal plain sheets (without lines). Avoid buying expensive stationery initially. Recommended pencils include Artline (a good and affordable alternative) or Staedtler (high-quality). Staedtler pencil colours are also highly recommended and useful even in college. One notebook is sufficient to start with.
Topics across NIFT, NID, and UCEED exams are broadly similar, though the difficulty level varies. It is crucial to attempt all mock tests and all sectional tests. Design exams are highly unpredictable, with questions capable of coming from any area; therefore, nothing should be left unpracticed.
The NID interview focuses on your portfolio understanding, thought process, real-life observation skills, and in-depth questioning about how and why each sketch or design was created. In NID interviews:
Deep questioning of portfolio work
Focus on the thought process
Real-life understanding of drawings
Questions about references and observations
Example:
Why this sketch?
How did you observe it?
What details did you study?
