NID 2021 was held on the 8th of January 2017.The test was much on expected lines.The break up of the test was 70 – 30 with 70 objective questions and 30 for creative.
The breakdown:
Objective questions:
- Figure counting (counting the number of triangles, cubes, circles and surfaces in given solids)
- Reading comprehension (1 passage with 3 questions and another with just one question)
- Basic Arithmetic (averages – 2 questions, ages – 1 question)

All in all, it was an easy section and a score of around 35 – 40 should be expected to be the cut off
Creative section:
- Draw a poster on Incredible India depicting the national bird / flower / tree and colour
- Draw the opposite of rock and write one line on it
- Draw a mother holding a crying baby (along with the background)
- Draw a zero gravity room along with stuff that you’d like to anchor to the ground and why
