CHEETRAKUL helped me achieve my goals through proper guidance.
In their words
“My hobby is drawing, so I joined the class. There I learned about UCEED and NID entrance exams. The class helped me a lot with preparation of these exams. Their constant topic tests gave me an understanding of how much I had learnt and how much more has to be done, which was the best part of the coaching. This not only enhanced my knowledge and drawing skills but also helped me discover my particular style of working.”
“My experience of preparing for UCEED, NID and NIFT was really good. I was determined to crack all three entrances and kept hunting for sources to get there. Aptitude, GK, drawing skills, speed and approach to problems are the keys. Solving previous-year papers helped me for sure, and the class guided me in an organized manner with honest reviews for improvement.”
“I appeared for CEED, NIFT and NID for masters. I had no idea about the exam pattern, and joining CHEETRAKUL helped me achieve my goals through proper guidance. The most important thing is to stay updated, improve observation skills, and keep working on drawing and design techniques. Motivation is a crucial drive for success.”
“CheetraKul NID Classes is the best path towards a design career. It strengthens creative fundamentals and builds a strong foundation for design. I really enjoyed learning with Amar sir. The basics and fundamentals of design became clear and strong.”
“Apart from food, shelter and clothing, my necessity also includes drawing and painting. The best gift life gave me is NIFT, and that was possible because of the sincere and genuine efforts put in by Amar sir. He kept me inspired to do more creative work, and the creative material classes, aptitude lectures and day trips made learning fun.”
“I have been a student at CheetraKul NID Classes since Std 4th. I learnt various types of drawing and completed foundation exams. After 10th I was introduced to design fields like NID, NIFT and UCEED. This is an excellent coaching class for NID, NIFT and UCEED and different kinds of drawing. Teaching is motivating and clear.”
“I started preparing for my entrance exam from scratch and learned what designing actually means. I built my portfolio, solved previous years' papers and gained practical knowledge from products, character designing and working models. CHEETRAKUL helped me choose and guide my journey throughout this challenging path.”
“I learnt versatile types of drawing and completed my Grade exams here. After 10th I got introduced to designing field opportunities by this class and started taking it seriously. I would recommend it to anyone who wants this field as a career. The teachers are excellent and motivating.”
“My journey starts with passion and love towards painting and art expressions. I got to know about design when I was in 10th grade because of CHEETRAKUL. Amar dada introduced me to the streams and entrance exams, and guided me through aptitude, drawing, situation test and interview. Daily sketching, prototypes and past papers helped me crack NIFT and UCEED.”
“One of the most interesting things at Cheetrakul is the individual attention and understanding of each student's unique needs. When I joined, I had a strong conceptual thinking ability, but I struggled with drawing, colour application and 3D model making. The team worked closely with me and helped me improve significantly, which played a crucial role in securing my place at NIFT and Symbiosis.”
“Though I had very little time left for NATA preparation, the crash course was an incredible learning experience. The concepts were cleared very nicely, the complete syllabus was covered with speed, and the individual attention benefited me a lot. The complete team was very cooperative and friendly, and Amar sir guided us academically and mentally.”
“I started building my basic drawing fundamentals and design concepts from CHEETRAKUL, which was very new and challenging to me but was made easy with practice and real-life applications taught by the team. Due to the hard work and efforts taken by the team and me, I secured admission in NID Kurukshetra. I owe my success story to this excellent team.”
“The class has been incredibly helpful. The lessons are clear, engaging and full of practical insights that make understanding the design field much easier. It is a great mix of theory and hands-on knowledge, making it perfect for anyone looking to get started in design.”

I mastered various drawing techniques, explored fascinating design concepts, and learned the power of focus and concentration. Beyond that, I gained a whole new perspective on how to see objects, art, nature, and even my own life. Before joining Cheetrakul NID Classes, I had no clear direction about my career. I was unsure of what lay ahead. But now, thanks to this amazing institute, I have a solid understanding of the design field, my future education, and the endless possibilities that await me.”
