Pearl Academy of Fashion

Given the rigour of teaching and learning, through which the Academy strives to steer students to the defined graduate profile, we look out for talented, intelligent, ambitious students, who are prepared to put in only their best efforts to build up a fulfilling career - young people with all-round abilities, who show the energy, the potential and the commitment to be the industry captains of tomorrow. So when we are assessing you, we will be particularly evaluating your career focus, your creative and aesthetic sense, your level of commitment and energy, your potential as a team member, your ability to handle stress, and of course, your communication skills. For this purpose, every applicant, whose eligibility is proven, passes through an entrance test, other screening methods and an interview. Those candidates, who register strong indications of both proficiency and aptitude, are selected in order of merit, subject to the overall intake.

Candidates answer a 60 minute General Proficiency Test (GPT) in English language to demonstrate their proficiency in language (comprehension, vocabulary, expression), mathematics (10th standard), logic, etc.

Candidates who answered any AIMA-MAT tests held in the twelve months prior to the date of the Academy’s entrance exam (see instructions in accompanying Declaration Form) and had scored at least 500 will not have to appear in the GPT. Successful candidates from the GPT and eligible AIMA-MAT scorers will be called for further screening consisting of group discussion and individual interview.

Candidates answer the same General Proficiency Test (GPT) as above. AIMA-MAT participants with qualifiers as above will be exempted from taking the GPT.

However, all candidates have to appear in the Design Aptitude Test (DAT), which examines a candidate for aptitude in perception, illustration, drawing, visualization, colour sense, etc. Successful candidates from GPT/AIMA-MAT and DAT will be called for Situation Test and interview. The Situation Test is a group activity in which you will have to collaborate with other candidates to implement a design brief with provided materials within a stipulated duration of time.
