I came through Karnavati University which was newly established and the course looked promising to me. I applied online on the website of the university. For admission, the minimum 50% aggregate was required in class 12th in any stream. Final admission was based on two rounds-round 1 and round 2. Round 1 included Design Aptitude test which tests General IQ, Analytical and Creative Ability of a candidate. Round 2 included situation test followed by portfolio examination.

My portfolio was examined and all my designs were thoroughly looked upon. The results were declared on the basis of cumulative score of both the rounds. I cracked the entrance exam and the situation test as my name appeared in the first list. Finally the fees was paid that confirmed my admission.
