BY solving sample papers, you can familiarize yourself with the NIFT 2025 question paper structure, types of tasks, and time constraints.
Develop Time-management Skills – Remember, you will have limited time to complete a given task. So, unless you know how to pace the exam, you won’t be able to complete the task in time.
To complete the test in a time-bound manner, solving sample papers becomes essential. This exercise will teach you how to allocate time for planning, execution, and final touches.
Enhance Creativity and Innovation – The Situation Test evaluates the candidate’s creative thinking and ability to innovate under pressure.
If you solve enough NIFT Situation Test sample papers, it can help you experiment with different ideas, materials, and techniques, thus boosting your creativity.
Improve Problem-solving Skills – The NIFT Situation Test often presents abstract or open-ended problems.
So, if you solve the sample papers, you can prepare beforehand to tackle such types of questions. Understand that solving these types of questions require a structured approach and outside the box thinking.
Build Confidence – Familiarity with the test format and repeated practice reduce anxiety and build confidence. You’ll feel more prepared and less stressed on the actual test day.
Learn Material Handling – The test requires you to work with various materials (e.g., paper, cardboard, clay, etc.). Practicing with sample papers helps you understand how to handle and manipulate these materials effectively.
SWOT Analysis – Solving sample papers will help you identify your strong and weak spots. You need to pay special attention to the weak portion.
Adapt to Unpredictable Tasks – The Situation Test often includes unexpected or unconventional tasks. Practicing sample papers prepares you to adapt quickly and think on your feet.
Gain Feedback – If you solve sample papers under the guidance of mentors or peers, you can receive constructive feedback on your ideas, execution, and presentation, helping you refine your skills.
Boost Presentation Skills – The way you present your final model or solution is crucial. Practicing sample papers helps you learn how to present your work clearly and effectively, highlighting your thought process and creativity.
Simulate Real Exam Conditions – Solving sample papers under timed conditions simulates the actual test environment, helping you get accustomed to the pressure and pace of the exam.
Explore Diverse Themes – Sample papers often cover a wide range of themes and topics. Practicing them exposes you to different scenarios, enhancing your ability to handle any theme that might appear in the actual test.

Last-minute Tips for Assam CEE Exam
In the last few weeks leading up to the Assam CEE exam, the candidate must follow these tips to ace the exam:
Take short breaks between study sessions – It will significantly improve your focus while keeping stress at bay. If you study for 1 hour, you can say take a break of 10-15 minutes.
Don’t start any new activity at this stage – This can even include taking fresh suggestions from your teacher or mentor, unless you really need it. It is not the time to learn anything new, but rather to enhance what you have already learnt. Fill the small gaps here and there, type!
Stay motivated – It is important that you stay upbeat and positive. Staying away from negative and doomsayers can help immensely.
Do quick revisions – If you are maintaining a note, it will come in handy for quick revision. Also, revise the important formulas and concepts.
Don’t set any specific target – If you start thinking like, I will attempt this and that many questions, it will only put unnecessary pressure on you. Rather focus on the preparation, over which you have any control.
Once inside the exam hall, attempt the easy questions first.
However, if you get stuck even with an easy-looking question, don’t panic. It may and does happen sometimes. Rather take a deep breath and move on to the next question without wasting too much time.
If you manage to complete the rest of the paper, you can come back and complete the remaining question.
Ensure you have a good night’s sleep, especially before the exam day. If you come to the exam center sleep-deprived, it can cause havoc!
Finally, best of luck for your exam!
