UCEED 2020 Exam Pattern & Difficulty Level

Akash: Paper was OK. I did not take any coaching for UCEED. I am a BTech aspirant. But as per me I performed well because with me there was a design aspirant and I attempted more questions than him. That is why I feel my result would be better. I have solved some past year papers for UCEED and I used to get good scores in those. Compared to last year’s paper, I found UCEED 2020 to be easier. Drawing part was extra and I felt the time given for the drawing question was less.

Akansha, Modern Public School Bhiwadi: The paper was not easy but required one to think a lot and question asked tested an aspirant’s observation power. The drawing question asked was also very basic. Part A was more difficult than Part C. Questions in Part C, simply tested our observation power. Part A and B had more questions from reasoning.

Vikas: Exam was average not very hard. Drawing question was easy. We had to create an office scene. Part A was a little difficult. It had numerical questions. Part B was also average and Part C was easy. Pattern of Part A exam was almost same as last year’s paper.

Nandini Agarwal: Exam went well. This year we had two parts, A and B. Earlier, the exam did not have Part B in which we had to draw. UCEED Part B exam was of 60 marks. Part A of the exam was average. It was not very easy nor very difficult. Part B was quite easy. The MSQs were quite difficult. The rest were a bit easy than last year.

Shrinyanka Das, DAV Noida: Exam was OK. All the questions were reasoning based. As per the pattern change there was one drawing question and that was also OK. The numerical questions were easy, MSQs were a little difficult, MCQs were a little tricky but overall the paper was fine. Pattern was almost similar to 2019, only drawing question was extra.

Ishika Khandelwal, Alwar: I found the paper to be tough because the questions were based on reasoning. I found Maths questions to be very difficult. And when we completed the Part A section of the exam, immediately Part B exam started which was of 30 minutes only. We didn’t get a break also and so I found the exam to be difficult.

Srishti, Sommerville School: My paper went well. The MSQ questions and the drawing question was simple. If you had studied properly then you could solve the MCQ section also. I have solved past year UCEED question papers (2017-2019) and the pattern was similar to those papers.
