Commonly asked questions
Q:   What is the best time to take UCEED mock tests?
A: 

The official mock tests are meant to be taken in the last few weeks before the UCEED exam. So, you shouldn't typically take mock tests at the start or even the middle of your UCEED exam preparation. The logic is that mock tests are not designed to help you improve your problem-solving ability or your time-management skills. In fact, mock tests are meant to help you get an exam-like ambience before the exam and understand what it is like to be inside the exam centre. 

 

Q:   What is the process to take mock tests for UCEED?
A: 

If IIT Bombay conducts any mock tests for UCEED exam, it will be hosted online at uceed.iitb.ac.in. So, to take mock tests, candidate will have to go to the UCEED - IIT Bombay admission portal and click on mock test link. 

On clicking on the mock test link, a log-in window will open. The login ID will likely be prefilled. So, all you need to do is click on the log-in button to access the mock tests. After logging in, click on the “Start” tab to start the mock test.

Q:   Where can I find previous years' exam analysis for the UCEED exam?
A: 

The candidate can find the previous years’ exam analysis for the UCEED exam on this page. The exam analysis will cover both Part A and Part B of the exam. Note that it is mandatory for candidates to qualify Part A; or else Part B answer booklet will not be evaluated.

The UCEED exam analysis for a particular year will cover in-depth analysis of the question paper for that year. Consequently, it will include details like sectional and overall difficulty, questions asked, marking scheme, good attempts, and expected cut-off. By consulting the cut-off for previous years, the candidate will be able to figure out what is a good score to get admission to one’s favorite college.

Q:   If I take only mock tests of UCEED, is it enough to get a good score in the design entrance exam?
A: 

Mock tests are useful only when you take them closer to the exam. They are also by no means an integral part of one’s exam preparation in the early stages. When you are starting off your preparation and reach until the mid stage, all you need are test books, sample papers, and the notes you have taken. Once you have mastered the concepts and honed your problem-solving skills sufficiently, you can take the mock test. The mock tests at this stage will help you get acquainted with the exam process, especially the exam environment.

The most difficult part can vary from student to student. In UCEED 2026, MSQs and some NAT questions were reported to be more challenging, while Part B was also time-consuming.

Yes, but drawing practice is important because Part B includes drawing questions. Candidates don't need professional-level drawing skills, but they should be able to communicate ideas clearly through sketches.
