The UCEED exam will have two parts - Part A and Part B. Part A will include Numerical Answer Type NAT Multiple Select Question (MSQ), Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). Meanwhile, Part B will include drawing and aptitude-based questions. Note that in the previous edition of the exam, Part B include only sketching-based question. So, starting UCEED 2024, the candidate also needs to prepare for aptitude based questions that will be asked in Part B. Questions for the aptitude section will evaluate the ability of the candidate to practically and appropriately respond to problems/situations with ingenuity and empathy.
It is recommended that you solve sample papers for UCEED as early as possible in your exam preparation. For instance, you can start solving sample papers once you complete a chapter. What you need to do is find out all the problems related to the topic and solve. But take care not to dabble with questions that are related to topics that you haven not started at all. It is because it will only be an exercise in futility. You can keep on solving sample papers up to the last few days leading up to the exam. Note that as you complete the syllabus, you should be able to attempt the complete sample paper.
