The NIFT Situation Test is a hands-on test that checks your creativity and innovation in a given scenario with a given set of materials. The materials that NIFT provides may change every year, but some of the common materials are cardboard, paper, clay, wire, fabric, thread, thermocol, foam, beads, buttons, etc. You have to use these materials to make a three-dimensional model based on a given theme or topic. You can also use scissors, glue, and sketch pens for cutting, sticking, and coloring the model.
