Hey everyone! I'm targeting NID M.Des Information Design for the 2027.

I know for JEE there’s MARKS and for IPMAT there’s Afterboards, but for NID M.Des, the resources seem way more scattered. I’m looking for recommendations on:

1. Best Apps/Websites for PYQs: Where can I find a solid database of past papers for M.Des (specifically Communication/Information Design)?
2. Reliable Mock Tests: Who has the best mocks for Part A (GAT) and the specialized discipline-specific Part B?
3. The "Cracking" Strategy: For those who made it into Information Design (Bangalore campus), how did you handle the shift where Prelims is now just a qualifier? What did you focus on for your portfolio?
4. Alternatives: Are there any legendary Telegram groups or Discord servers I should be in?

I’m currently looking at DQ Edge and Creative Edge, but I’d love to know if there are hidden gems or "unconventional" ways people are prepping. Any advice on how to build a portfolio that actually speaks "Information Design" would be a huge bonus!

Thanks in advance!
