Pearl Academy sets no fixed cutoff scores for its proprietary entrance exam in 2025, opting instead for a holistic merit list that weighs performance in the General Proficiency Test (GPT), Design Aptitude Test (DAT), and personal interview to select candidates for 2026 intakes across fashion, design, and business programs. For specific UG courses like Product Design, Communication Design, and Interior Design that accept NID scores, the 2023 EWS category cutoff stood at 43 marks in round 1—delve into category-wise details, expected trends for 2025, and strategic preparation to align with the academy's emphasis on creative aptitude over rigid thresholds.
Pearl Academy's 2025 admission cycle relies on relative merit rather than absolute cutoff marks for its entrance exam, ensuring selections reflect individual creativity and potential through combined evaluation of written tests and interviews. This approach allows flexibility, with final offers extended to top performers in each cycle.
The Pearl Academy Entrance Exam for 2025 features no predefined qualifying marks; candidates advance to interviews based on GPT and DAT outcomes, followed by a comprehensive merit ranking that incorporates personal discussions and portfolios for design tracks.
