SHRUTI asked this question which I have been asked like a 100 times before, IF COACHING CLASSES ARE NECESSARY FOR NIFT ENTRANCE EXAM.
Ans: Honest opinion: NOPE. But there's no harm in joining one since coaching classes gives you a habit of practising regularly and you'll realize in exam that you have finished much ahead of other. Practice. Increases you pace. It doesn't matter if you practice at home or at coaching classes. More you practice, the faster you solve the questions. and trust me. TIME LIMIT IS A VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR IN NIFT EXAM.
Another plus point joining coaching classes is that you always have some one to help you out when you have this 'creative-mind-block' phase or have other doubts.
What you have to realize is that if it is all necessary at the whopping cost most coaching institutions charge.
