UCEED 2021 Exam Pattern & Difficulty Level
Keshav: I thought the paper was overall good, although some questions were tough, but it was fine, one basically needs to practice a lot. I have been preparing for UCEED for about three to four months now. In some questions, one needed to apply logical reasoning but overall I completed the paper.

Abhishek: It was a good paper, average I can say and I have a feeling that I can clear the paper. I started preparing for a month when I got to know about the exam date. I bought a prep book and started my preparations. Questions in the paper were fine, the mathematical questions were tough to solve, but overall average.
Shreya: The paper was actually not that easy neither that tough. I have been preparing for UCEED since August, I had all my prep books and mock tests to get a clear idea. The MCQs were easy, but the drawing part was a bit tough.
Aryan: This year's exam was relatively easy as compared to the previous years as I gave UCEED in 2019 and 2020, but as usual, Part B was quite lengthy and difficult to manage with time. The drawing was not that tough but it was lengthy like I said. The overall paper was average, not that tough or easy.

UCEED 2021: Experience of giving exam during COVID-19 pandemic
Pramod shared that, “IIT Bombay had made very good arrangements for UCEED exam. At the entry gate, my hands were sanitised and the temperature was checked. This was done for all students. Inside the hall, social distancing norms were followed and the invigilators were wearing gloves and shields. Everything was sanitised and the answer booklet was sealed. I did not worry even once about the COVID-19 situation once I was inside the UCEED exam hall”.
