Design entrance exams like NID and UCEED are not memory-based tests. They focus on how you observe, think, and respond to unfamiliar problems. Instead of rote learning, these exams evaluate design aptitude, visual thinking, creativity, and logical reasoning. Understanding the NID entrance exam syllabus or UCEED syllabus is important, but success depends on mindset and practice.
