Yes. They are past NID DAT Prelims papers for B.Des and M.Des; older years are scans. The 2025 paper is memory-based (recreated from students’ accounts), and it says so on the paper. The mock tests are practice papers.
We only list files we actually have. Answer keys exist here for 2016 (B.Des and M.Des) and 2018 (B.Des), and the 2024 paper lists its answers. Part B and studio test questions are drawing and making tasks, so they have no fixed answer key.
