Tips to prepare for CEED 2023 in four months

Follow the below-mentioned sequence to prepare for the CEED 2023 exam (four-month preparation plan).

Where to start?

The first thing you need to do is take a close look at the CEED 2023 syllabus. 

IIT Bombay has already released the Information Brochure for CEED 2023; it contains the syllabus for CEED 2023.

The good thing, in case you were following the old syllabus, no changes have been made to the CEED syllabus for the current session. Allocate time for each topic; if you have a hunch that some topics may be more difficult than others, you can allocate more time for such topics.

Next, aligin preparation with exam requirements

The syllabus will simply tell you what is important and what is not, but it won’t tell you much as to how you need to prepare for the exam.

This bit of information can be gathered from the CEED 2023 exam pattern.

Take for instance, the CEED 2023 question paper will have two sections - Part A and Part B. Both mandatory.

Part A will include 41 objective-type questions that have to be attempted in 60 minutes (1 hour 30 minutes). The paper will be held online. 

So, speed and accuracy will be a big part of the section. 

Meanwhile, Part A will include five sketching-based question that has to be attempted in 2 hours. While the candidate will definitely must be quick enough to complete the assignment, speed isn’t the big factor here like in Part A.

Instead, Part B will be used to evaluate the drawing, conceptual, analytical, communication, and observation skills of the candidate. It will also test the candidate’s understanding of proportion, perspective, and creativity. 

Ensure that the study material is top notch

The quality of books you choose for your CEED 2023 exam preparation will have a direct correlation to how you fare in the exam.

 

For instance, if the study material is below standard, even with the best of efforts, you may struggle to qualify CEED 2023 or may be get a good rank.

On the other hand, good study material will compliment your hard work thereby increasing your chances of getting a better rank.

Take notes during study

When you are preparing for the exam, make it a habit of taking notes of important and difficult points, or something you would like to take a second look at. 

This notebook ,if well compiled, could be a quick reference point, especially when you want to do a quick revision.

In fact, closer to the exam, it will be of immense help when you don’t want to go through large blocks of text or tedious pages before you can find what you are looking for.
