What is UCEED Exam?

Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design (UCEED) is conducted by IIT Bombay under the guidance of the UCEED-CEED Implementation Committee every year for admitting candidates to the Bachelor of Design (BDes) program at participating colleges.

Merely appearing for the UCEED exam or securing a spot in the UCEED rank list does not guarantee admission to BDes programs. Candidates who qualify the UCEED exam need to separately apply for admission as per the procedure prescribed by IIT Bombay. Admission to BDes courses is done based on merit in each category. The merit list is prepared based on the scores obtained by candidates in the written entrance exam.

UCEED Exam Analysis

UCEED 2022 is yet to be held. Till then, candidates can check UCEED exam analysis for previous year below.

UCEED 2021 exam was conducted on January 17. The examination kept with its ongoing format of three-hour duration, which is further divided into two parts A & B. While part A, worth 240 marks, was held in CBT mode for the duration of 2.5 hours, the part B, worth 60 marks, was a paper-based drawing test of 30 minutes duration.

About 95 per cent of the paper was visual-based. This in itself is always a challenge in the Computer Based Test (CBT) mode where the students have to give undivided attention to the screen. However, the overall exam level was more doable as compared to 2020. Get detailed UCEED 2021 exam analysis here.
