How to prepare for NIFT MFM, M.Des , M.Ftech group discussion

A group discussion is a group of individuals, gather at one place in the form of a circle with similar interest to share the ideas, solve problems or give comments. In simple terms, a group discussion is well known as GD. Generally, the group discussions are performed to assess the skill set of a person which includes communication skills, leadership skills, managing skills, team building skills, social skills, problem-solving skills and presence of mind. At last, the rating is given on a scale of 1 to 10.

Why GD became mandatory?

Before GD the candidate has to undergo the written exam which covers different subject levels such as quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, general English and computer-based questions. Based on the cut-off, after qualifying the first round the candidate has to undergo the second round i.e group discussion. Group discussion became mandatory to filter the candidate’s soft skills and whether the candidate has the ability to cope up with different scenarios.

Who conducts a group discussion?

Generally, group discussion is conducted by large bodies such as universities, top-rated b-schools, management institutions & colleges and even by MNC’s. To get admission in NIFT top B-schools GD round is one of the most important & crucial rounds. This round is conducted to analyze the skills from different parameters and to select the right candidate for the right position so that it meets the company’s requirement.

Why do students fail to perform well in GD?

In today’s scenario most of the students fail to perform well in a group discussion because of the below three reasons:

  1. Due to the fear of speaking in public.
    2. Lack of knowledge on the topic.
    3. No proper command on language.

The process followed in GD:

NIFT Group Discussion and Interview, the selectors will select the students randomly based on the number. For a group usually, 8-10 members were selected. A topic is given and around 3-5 minutes of time is given to prepare. The duration of the discussion is based on the group, topic, college to college and organization to organization. Only on a few parameters, the assessment is done. The parameters such as content, supporting others point, giving relevant examples, latest updates or news, eye-contact, conclusion and behavioral traits.

There is no secret or any rules for preparing GD. Before going for GD one has to consider a few points.

  1. Be up-to-date on the latest information such as news and trending topics in the market.
    2. Make a habit of reading newspapers, books and magazines so that in-detail information is provided.
    3. The simple way to remember the content for a longer period is to watch videos for 2-3 times.
    4. Later on, select a topic and speak for yourself in front of the mirror. (Make assessment for yourself).
    5. Even be aware of different topics such as sports, political news, technology news, economics and market-related news.
    6.Know about the Indian Fashion and Textile Industry.

How to perform GD?

When a topic is given just think over it; under which category the topic is. It might be related to life, current affairs, technology, political news and any other trending topic in the market. So, think about the topic and frame the sentence in your own words to speak. When you are speaking you need to agree or disagree with the other points and you need to give a proper reason to it. But, don’t deviate/ mislead from the topic. Make others also speak & give chance to them to put the points into the discussion.

For suppose if you are leading the group:
1. Introduce yourself & give a brief note on the topic.
2. Make a start on a positive note.
3. Discuss the pros and cons of the topic and how to overcome them.
4. Make everyone speak.
5. Support other points.
6. If the group members are deviating from the topic it is your responsibility to bring them back.
As you are leading the group you need to conclude by summarizing all the points which were discussed.

Few tips for GD:

  1. Grooming (appearance)
    2. Be a good listener & support or add to the other points. (But don’t interrupt in middle)
    3. Speak loudly and clearly.
    4. Try to be the first and the last speaker of the discussion.
    5. Be confident while speaking (analyze with numbers if you know & it has to be fact).

 

 

 

 

The Indian real estate industry in Dec 2020 was estimated to be, rising income levels, urbanization and the rapid growth of the IT sector are the key drivers for the Indian real estate sector. Currently as the economy is facing a slump due to global downturn, the real estate sector is facing difficulties. However, in the next 2-3 years most of the larger players are anticipated to expand aggressively across the country. With this slump considered momentary, Indian real estate industry is likely to witness huge growth again. With increase in growth, demand for allied services like architecture, interior design & landscape architecture is likely to increase.

Architectural Design

Market
• Architecture is a highly competitive and multi-disciplinary profession, involving a variety of tasks.
• As a field, it covers myriad disciplines, including spatial design, aesthetics, project management and material management.
• There are many Institutions in the country offering undergraduate & post graduate courses in Architecture.
• From our survey, out of the total number of designers working in the country, this discipline accounts for the most with 81.25%.
• Majority of the architects belong to the age group of 20-35 & hold B.Arch as their degree of qualification.35
• Mumbai leads in terms of having maximum number of architects followed by Pune and Delhi.
• In terms of placements, maximum numbers of architects are placed in the private sector followed by being self employed & in public sectors.
Current Activities
• In terms of outsourcing, architectural services are gaining traction with scope including design development, detailed architectural plans, construction documentation, as-built drawings, shop drawings, and visualization (3D views & walk-through).
• Architectural outsourcing service in India has the potential to grow to $12 billion in the next four to six years, from its current level of $3.5 billion.36
• Annual requirement projections of architects’ stands over 10,000 which is expected to rise further but the training facilities available are still short.

Interior Design

  1. One key aspect of architecture, which is coming up and expected to play an increasing role in architectural design is environmental friendly buildings and structures. Green buildings will soon be a feature and a part of people lives.
  2. Interior design is a multi-faceted profession wherein creative and technical solutions are applied within a structure to achieve a built interior environment.
  3. Interior decoration and designing in India are getting popular with a lot of people opting for the services of trained interior designers for their houses / offices, etc.
  4. Reason can also be attributed to the changing definitions of homes and modern residential houses, which now symbolize more with the personalities of their owners.
  5. Interior design is also gaining popularity among workplaces and is being considered as a science helping to reduce stress and fatigue thereby increasing productivity.
  6. The services provided by interior decorators and designer cover a wide range of areas and include Interior decoration services, furniture and furnishings, facilities design, mechanical designing, residential interior architecture, etc.
  7. Keeping in mind the demand & separate need from architecture courses, various Institutions like University of Pune and Anna University (Chennai) have announced specialized courses in Interior design as B.Arch (Interior design).

Urban Design and Landscape Design

  1. Landscape architects consider how a place to be used and understand what kind of natural ingredients from grass to stone to falling water will serve best.
  2. The scope of the profession includes site planning, housing estate development, environmental restoration, town or urban planning, urban design, parks, landscape urbanism and recreation planning.
  3. The work also includes conducting Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies for a region (analyzing impact of development on natural resources in a region and taking steps to mitigate damage) and also assessing urban growth, need for open spaces, and developing suitable strategies to enhance the green cover of cities.
  4. The Industry is at a nascent stage in India, but with each year there seem to be new opportunities pouring in.
  5. To become a landscape architect, one needs to do an undergraduate course in architecture, followed by a two-year master’s program in landscape architecture.
  6. Application-oriented knowledge of plant systems and processes, plants and design, landscape engineering, eco-system analysis and field ecology is imperative as is knowledge of design history and culture.
  7. The demand for landscape architects is not just limited to architectural firms. One can find job with builders, government authorities like DDA, NDMC, and CPWD apart from working with architects.

Furniture Design

  1. Furniture designers create the designs that people use as furnishings in residential and commercial properties throughout the world.
  2. Furniture design is a blend of multiple disciplines & is much like fashion design, as the materials, textiles, metals, etc. used to make a piece of furniture can be comparable to materials used to make a piece of clothing. Furniture design also is much like architecture in that the furniture must prove stable and safe.
  3. Furniture designers either work for large manufacturing industries or in batch production companies. Many set up their own design and batch production studios, undertaking custom- designed furniture. Others contribute to interior design teams, working on projects for the service sector, besides corporate organizations.
  4. Furniture design programs teaches an integrated approach to furniture as a part of living, work spaces and habitat and challenges and defines the boundaries of such objects in systems context.
  5. The Furniture design programs provide students an opportunity to challenge and redefine the boundaries of furniture, as much as to develop its traditions. The programs ensure that students are able to perform at all levels of production of furniture in various materials, mass production industries, to the small scale and craft sectors.

There are many Design Coaching in Jaipur but if we need to find out the best coaching classes, with best learning experience then Pahal Design comes with 22 Years of academic excellence and more than 40 centres across India including all the metros.

Now Pahal Design is in Jaipur at Vaishali Nagar for Design, Architecture and Fine Arts Coaching. If any students are looking for Design, Fashion, Architecture and Fine Arts Coaching or any guidance related to Design Colleges then we have Free Guidance for all Design Students.

The design industry in India is growing at a staggering rate of 23 to 25 per cent annually – it’s an indicative of the qualitative change you find in the look and feel of consumer goods. Industry insiders believe that greater spending power and changing needs of consumers are responsible for the boom in the design industry. “People today are spending more money. From the interiors of their flats to the products they buy, all consumers are looking for that extra value-add. There is this new emphasis on vanity. The culture is shifting and design is a reflection of that shift.” With brand positioning and identity the new buzzwords, industries that form the designer’s client base are a lot more aware about design and its importance.

There are some sectors within the industry that have seen a higher growth of interest than others – animation, graphics, apparel, textiles, automotive, product and software interface design to name a few. This interest has also translated into a greater demand for industrial and communication designers.

Currently, India needs 8,000-10,000 designers a year, while overall availability of qualified designers is only 3,000. To make matters worse, only 500 of these 3,000 are said to be practicing designers. There is a reason why your new car is better looking than your last and why your refrigerator seems more functional than the one you had before. 

Design can transform the way we do things, and result in new economic benefits and a better quality of life. The strategic nature of design helps solve problems in ways that are functionally and aesthetically pleasing and make economic sense. Design helps to improve quality and differentiation, offer world class products and services, improve business efficiencies, productivity and margins, increase revenues and achieve higher market share and accelerated growth.

The design industry lags behind other professional services domains in numerical terms when looked at in terms of turnover and number of employees. Architecture, Interior, Animation / New Media, Fashion Design are leading domains within the design industry. Other segments are far behind at present. However with the change in the economic scenario, design domains such as graphic design, industrial design, human computer interaction are growing at a fast clip. The number of design companies is growing as also there is growth in existing companies. There is a good trend of designers opting to start their own setup. Hence most companies existing today are new. The existing companies are consolidating further by adding more services to their portfolio within diverse design disciplines.

India is a large market and at the same unique as well. There is no such thing called as a thumb rule which can describe Indian market or consumers. They vary in cultures, traditions, religions, customers, food, dressing, etc. At the same time the Indian consumer is becoming more demanding and is asserting himself / herself to get his / her aspirations satisfied.

Multinational corporations are focusing on India as a new market for trading their products / services. They understand that successes elsewhere may not necessarily translate in a similar way in India. They will need to understand the market, the sensibilities of the people and respond to them through their offerings. Global corporations will need to work with Indian designers to understand the local market.

To better understand the Indian consumer, to meet the needs and aspirations of this assertive, active, enlightened consumer, Indian businesses and multinational corporations will need to take assistance from Indian designers. This puts a spot light on the design industry as never before.

About Jaipur

The capital of Rajasthan, built proudly by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II is famous for its majestic forts, opulent Havelis, beautiful lakes, and dunes. Jaipur is part of the famous Golden Triangle Tourist circuit that includes Delhi and Agra. But Jaipur is not only endowed with wonderful tourist attractions but the city also has an excellent infrastructure to support the tourism. Jaipur has some of India’s best hotels, which compliments the scenic and architectural beauty of the Pink City.
The historic walled city of Jaipur, was founded in 1727 A.D. by the Rajput ruler Sawai Jai Singh of Kacchawah dynasty. The city is roughly divided into nine rectangular sectors with straight roads intersecting only at right angles and is enclosed within massive wall to protect the city in a total area of 709 hectares.

The wall encircles the city and 9 city gates are present to provide the access to the city from various directions. Several iconic monuments and temples are housed within this walled city area with two main North South axes crossing to form 3 main pubic squares (Badi Chaupar, Choti Chaupar and a 3rd one Ramganj Chaupar extending on the eastern side) on the East West axes that define the overall grid iron city plan. It has a total of 12 main bazaar areas across the main axial streets.
The design of the new city was a breath taking departure from the prevalent practices in city development in the sub-continent. Its urban morphology reflected the coming together of cultural elements from eastern and western planning, expressing a culture of a ‘trade and commerce city’ and townscape that is unparalleled anywhere in South Asia.
Envisaged as a trade capital, the main avenues of the city are designed as markets, which remain characteristic bazaars of the city till date. Chaupar, or designed large public squares at the intersection of roads, is another feature that is distinct to Jaipur as are its single to multicourt havelis and haveli temples.
Besides an exemplary planning, its iconic monuments such as the Govind Dev temple, City Palace, Jantar Mantar and Hawa Mahal excel in artistic and architectural craftsmanship of the period. Jaipur is an expression of the

astronomical skills, living traditions, unique urban form and exemplary foresighted city planning of an 18th century city from India.

Jaipur is considered one of the most prolific examples of a planned city, it exemplifies approaches to city planning, sustainability and spatial manifestation of the social fabric through architecture. The lessons that can be learned by understanding this place are deep rooted in its context and are beautiful. Each place has lessons that can teach us about the importance of foresight, planning and mindful use of resources. An effort should be made to make it an inherent part of education and moreover an integral part of design education.

 

The newly prominent architectural buildings of Jaipur are a blend of advanced technology and exquisite design with a touch of traditional art. World Trade Park of Jaipur is a world-class infrastructure designed by renowned architects who have several architectural wonders in his account like the world’s biggest pillar-less rooftop (Sabha Mandap of Govind Devji Temple, which is notified by The Guinness Book of Records), first revolving tower of Rajasthan and many more. The Satsang hall within the Govind Devji’s Temple has a reinforced concrete cement flat roof with a simple soan of 119 ft.
With people from all over the country going to Jaipur for studies, today it has become an education hub also. If you are searching for a good education, then there cannot be a place better than Jaipur. A place where there is no political disturbance, no goons to threaten you here and there, a place to give you a busy life when you need it, a place which would give you the country’s heritage to enjoy any time you need, a place which would give you the mountains and the lakes for a relaxing tour, and the most comfortable evening for studies.

Within the context of formal education, the Art and design as a subject on the curriculum supports personal, social, moral, spiritual, cultural, and creative development, and enables participants to engage with and explore visual, tactile, and other sensory experiences and how to recognize and communicate ideas and meanings. These opportunities enable them to work with traditional and new media so that they develop confidence, competence, imagination, and creativity. Through these opportunities, they learn to appreciate and value images and artifacts across times and cultures, and to understand the contexts in which they were made. A fine arts education—be it in music, theatre, dance, creative writing, visual arts, or art history and visual studies—is not always an easy sell. The social utility and financial feasibility of the arts are often underrated. Innovation and adaptability are essential components of any fine arts education.

Experiences in art, craft, and design enable them to learn how to reflect critically on their own and others’ work. They learn to think and act as artists, makers, and designers, working creatively and intelligently. They develop an appreciation of and engagement in art, craft, and design as critical consumers and audiences and an understanding of its role in the creative and cultural industries that shape and enrich their lives.

There are abundant government and private universities present in Jaipur which focusses on the School of Architecture and design. Arch College of Design & Business. INIFD Jaipur, Indian Institute of Gems and Jewellery Jaipur, Indian Institute of Crafts & Design, IIFA INDIA are some of the best examples. As per the latest update among top colleges, the second-best private institute; Pearl Academy Jaipur for Fashion Design is recognized by India Today for the past three consecutive years. Pearl awards Professional Diploma from Pearl Academy and B. Des. Degree from Rajasthan ILD Skill University (RISU). Sounds exciting?

At the intersection of architecture, interior and experience design, the Interior Architecture and Design programme provides a multi-disciplinary approach to transforming existing spaces and places.  In increasingly Urban Environments, the emphasis on the design and working of a building, inside out, has gained tremendous importance. The programme focuses on examining existing structures and transforming their interior through relevant design interventions and renovations that give existing buildings a new life.  

Unlike courses in interior design and decoration, the Interior Architecture programme focuses on spatial design and detailing, adaptive reuse and retrofitting as well as architectural addition and refurbishment.  

The programme addresses a wide range of spaces, from domestic to retail, institutional to  commercial and set/production design to issues of conservation. Whether designing a structure, situation or event, the interior architect responds to how society interacts with, and inhabits space.

The programme will help students explore their creative identity and refine it further as they unpack the myriad layers of the discipline. Fashion Design being a practical discipline demands rigorous hands-on exposure with a mature awareness of the complexities of the world of Fashion. Students graduating from the programme will be able to use design thinking and creative problem-solving strategies to create appealing, sustainable and responsible fashion for a rapidly evolving industry.

TRANSFER TO IIAD

IIAD accepts applications for transfer to IIAD for the design programme (in either Fashion Design, Communication Design or Interior Architecture & Design) from students who have successfully completed previous year(s) of their design degree/diploma programme from a nationally or internationally recognized Design Institute.
