We cannot line ISDI Entrance Exam up against other exams yet
This does not mean ISDI Entrance Exam shares nothing with the exams you are preparing for — only that we have not loaded a chapter-by-chapter syllabus we can compare against, so we will not guess. We compare 0 exams whose official syllabus we have traced to the conducting body, and this one is not among them yet.

FAQsPending verification
Is there still an ISDI entrance exam, and where do I find it?
Yes. ISDI runs its own Design Aptitude Test as stage two of its admission process. But the school is now ATLAS ISDI, a school of ATLAS SkillTech University: isdi.in redirects to atlasuniversity.edu.in/schools/isdi/, and that is where you apply and where the dates are published.
Are there any entrance exams required for ISDI UG admissions?
In the school's own words: 'Yes, applicants must take the ISDI Challenge. It assesses creativity, aptitude and design thinking.' The B.Des admissions page calls the same stage the Design Aptitude Test.
How many questions is the ISDI DAT, and how long is it?
ISDI does not publish this. No question count, section split, marking scheme, duration or sample paper appears on its B.Des or M.Des admissions pages. Anyone quoting a precise paper structure for the ISDI DAT is not quoting the school.
What is the full selection process?
Five stages. For B.Des: application form, Design Aptitude Test, portfolio review, personal interview, final selection and offer letter. For M.Des: online application, ISDI Aptitude Test (DAT), design portfolio, personal interview, result declaration.
Do I need a portfolio?
For M.Des, yes: the school says a design portfolio is required and carries significant weightage. For B.Des, the school's FAQ says a portfolio is not mandatory but is strongly recommended, while the published key-dates table still lists a combined Design Aptitude Test and portfolio deadline.
Can a UCEED, CEED, NID or NIFT score get me in without the ISDI test?
Not instead of it. For M.Des the school says applicants must appear for the ISDI Aptitude Test, and that scores from CEED, the NIFT Entrance Exam, NID-DAT and GATE are considered on a case-to-case basis in addition.
What are the eligibility marks?
B.Des from an Indian board needs an aggregate of 50% in Grade XII in any discipline, for Class XII current students and pass-outs from 2023 onwards; A-Level and IB equivalences are listed separately. M.Des needs a four-year Bachelor's degree of at least 160 credits with at least 50% aggregate from an AIU-recognised university, in any discipline.
When are the deadlines?
ISDI runs rolling admissions with multiple rounds rather than one exam date. For the July 2026 intake, B.Des applications opened on 11 September 2025, with the Design Aptitude Test and portfolio deadline on 14 July 2026, results on 15 July 2026 and both the acceptance and semester fee deadlines on 16 July 2026. The M.Des cycle for that intake opened on 11 September 2025 and every later stage was marked Closed at the time of research.
