CEED 2024 syllabus - Download subject-wise revised CEED Syllabus

IIT Bombay has revised the syllabus for the CEED 2024 exam. This means the candidate can’t blindly follow the exam preparation that are already available in the market. 

What you can do is check if any the latest edition of CEED exam preparation study materia has been released in the market. If not, you can even use the old books, but make sure that you cover the relevant topics only. 

Also, read the reviews of the book, if available, to get an idea reading the quality of the study material.

Why should I use the best study material for CEED 2024 exam preparation?

The CEED syllabus can be daunting for some candidates. So, if you are not able to complete it, don'tpanic. The trick in these situations is to first focus on the easy topics and complete the first. If you manage that your anxiety levels will automatically come down. Next move on the moderate difficult topics. If you are able to tackle them, you can start working on the difficult ones. If you get stuck with a topic or problem, it is best to not spend prodigious time trying to master it. Instead move on to the next topic. You can revisit the difficult topic, if you have time.

The candidate must note that the CEED 2024 syllabus is quite comprehensive. Also, this year the syllabus has been revised. So, it is expected that some candidates may find the new syllabus difficult. The reverse is also true - some candidates may find the new syllabus easier!

If you are not able to complete a particular chapter or topic even after a few attempts, it is better to let it go for the time being. Move on to the next topic and complete that. Once you are done with the easier topics, you can come back and tackle the difficult ones. The point here is the judicious use of time.
