WUDAT is the World University of Design Aptitude Test used for admission to applicable undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
Depending on the programme, candidates may take a Design Aptitude Test (DAT), Art Aptitude Test (AAT), General Aptitude Test (GAT), or the corresponding postgraduate test.

WUDAT is currently conducted online. Applicants should check the current admission schedule for test dates and instructions.

The test is designed to assess aptitude rather than rote academic knowledge. Depending upon the programme, it may assess observation, logical reasoning, visualisation, creativity, communication, problem-solving, lateral thinking and programme-related aptitude.

There is no need for specialised coaching. Applicants should develop their observation, reasoning, visual thinking, awareness, communication and creative problem-solving abilities. Rather than memorising answers, candidates should practise looking at familiar problems in unfamiliar ways.

Yes. Depending on the programme, valid scores from recognised examinations such as UCEED, CEED, NID, NIFT and certain other examinations may be considered in lieu of the relevant WUD aptitude test. Architecture applicants are required to meet the applicable NATA/JEE and Council of Architecture requirements. Applicants should check the current admission guidelines for the examination applicable to their programme.

A portfolio or other evidence of creative work can be useful, particularly during the interview/portfolio interaction. Applicants may present drawings, photographs, films, digital work, craft, writing, projects, models or other work that demonstrates their interests and abilities. A professionally prepared portfolio is not necessarily expected from a student entering an undergraduate programme.

Yes. Applicants interested in more than one discipline may indicate their preferences and discuss these during the admission process. Final admission is made to one programme based on eligibility, merit, aptitude, preference and availability of seats.

WUD does not prescribe an age limit for admission; we believe that learning can be lifelong. However, applicants seeking admission to an undergraduate programme beyond the age of 20 will be invited for an interaction with the Dean to assess their preparedness and suitability for the programme.

Yes. Applications for lateral entry, migration or credit transfer are considered on a case-by-case basis, subject to academic equivalence, availability of seats and applicable University regulations.
