NIFT GANDHINAGAR

“Every day was a new day with something exciting coming up next and we like 3 year olds eagerly waited for it. Mad School was something I waited for every weekend. It was a perfect place for a child in a teenage body like me and the fact that we were never asked to stop being a child unlike any other school. I've got to know so much about the creative side that I had in me and that's what this place does to you. It helps you to explore yourself more and more every day! I was a complete extrovert when I joined (I still am) but I loved the fact that this place does so much for the introverts out there and helped so many people to speak themselves up.”

WHY IS COACHING IMPORTANT FOR NIFT ENTRANCE EXAM?

Get to know why…

When it comes to the NIFT entrance exam, there are students who clear the exam without coaching classes. But why do we say that coaching classes are important? Here are some of the reasons why students require coaching for the NIFT entrance exam.


Preparing halfway before the NIFT Exam:



Many students start their preparation for the NIFT exam 6 months or 3 months before the exam dates are announced. Usually, students start to panic and do not follow a proper flow while preparing. This is one of the reasons why our MAD School Hyderabad coaching institute has 3 months and 6 month coaching classes in both online and offline mode to help you prepare for the NIFT entrance exam.

Getting started with the preparation:



Many students do not know how to start and proceed with the preparation for NIFT entrance exams. This is why our faculties in MAD School NIFT coaching class prepare and implement effective strategies personalized to your needs to get started with the NIFT coaching.

Learning approach:



The learning approach particularly followed for NIFT entrance exam is different when compared to other all India entrance examinations. When it comes to NIFT entrance examinations you are tested for these skills - aptitude, sketching, model making, etc. This is one of the reasons why you require a coaching class for NIFT exam preparations.

Maintaining balance between regular class and entrance exam preparations:



Most of the students start preparing for the exams after they complete their 10th boards. It becomes a challenge to maintain a balance between the regular school classes and the entrance exam preparations. This is why coaching classes and institutes help in guiding you and test your skills with NIFT practice mock tests and section-wise tests.
