Hear from our students who cracked NID with top All India Ranks.
Nishit Desai
AIR 1
“Scoring AIR 1 in NID DAT felt impossible until I joined OPUS Bangalore. The way they break down the Studio Test into manageable drills and the constant feedback on my portfolio pushed me way beyond my comfort zone.”
Kaustav Singhani
AIR 8
“I was always strong with sketching but weak on the conceptual side. OPUS's faculty helped me build a design vocabulary that completely changed how I approached the DAT. The peer reviews and collaborative studio environment in Bangalore made all the difference in cracking the Mains.”
