Toppers Speak

Stories Behind the Ranks

Resilience, transformation, and belief - in their own words.

I wasn't even looking for mentoring when I found DTS. What stood out was how they believed in me and kept motivating me till the very end. More than study material, it was their constant support that made the difference.

Shrestha Jain NID AIR 01 · Furniture & Interior Design · NID Ahmedabad

My journey with DTS was truly transformative. The structured course, mock tests, and personal guidance helped me improve every step — especially in sketching and portfolio. Their constant support gave me the confidence I needed!

Anupama Paul NID AIR 02 · New Media Design · NID Gandhinagar

Joining DTS changed everything. From Sanket's words - 'You're a victor, not a victim' - to constant guidance, mock tests, and interviews, the team gave me clarity, confidence, and a support system I truly needed.

Shreya Singh NID AIR 05 · Design for Retail Experience · NID Bengaluru

What really made an impact in my preparation is very thorough feedback especially in the 3DT mock tests. It really helped me improve and the improvement was recognized and that really boosted my confidence in the exam.
