Previous papers and official sample questions help candidates understand the AIST's programme-specific sections, question style and time-management demands. FDDI's examination-process page lists sample papers for recent cycles; availability can vary, so begin at the official source rather than relying on copied or incomplete files.

Published paper pattern

• B.Des: sections A (Analytical Ability), B (Design Aptitude Test), C (General Awareness) and D (Comprehension, Grammar/Usage).
• BBA: sections A (Analytical Ability), C (General Awareness), D (Comprehension, Grammar/Usage) and E (Business Aptitude Test).
• M.Des/MBA: sections A (Analytical Ability), B (English Comprehension and Grammar), C (General Knowledge and Current Affairs), and D (Management Aptitude Test and Design Aptitude Test).
• The official 2026 overall section tables list 200 marks; the bachelor table aggregates A-E and the postgraduate table covers A-D. Follow the selected-programme rules, not the aggregate as if it were one common paper.

Benefits and archive guidance

• Identify the sections relevant to your chosen programme before practising.
• Use sample tests to practise objective reasoning, comprehension, awareness, design aptitude or business aptitude as applicable.
• Review errors by skill area and practise within a timed session; the official pattern page reviewed does not state the 2027 duration.
• Download samples linked from FDDI's official Examination Process page. Respect any copyright or use conditions.

Do not assume a previous question will repeat, infer unannounced negative marking, or treat unofficial solutions as an official answer key. The current FDDI prospectus and exam-day instructions take precedence.
