CEED

Since CEED is a general aptitude test, you can benefit greatly by practicing previous year question papers. Also, after practicing the papers, it is highly important to analyse your strong and weak areas for the exam and then work on them accordingly. 

But that being said, you can’t prepare for the CEED only on the strength of solving the sample papers. You need to read the text books to learn the concepts, understand the various dynamic. Note that unless your theoretical knowledge is sound, you won’t be able to feel truly confident. 

The CEED 2026 syllabus is vast. If you are not able to complete a chapter or topic, it is better to leave it and start another topic. Once you are done with the easier topics, you can come back and study the difficult ones. 

The CEED 2024 exam is now over. So, aspiring candidates can now prepare for the next edition of the exam.

Focus on the following resources to prepare for CEED:

• Make sure that you get the best books to prepare the CEED.

• If the study material is good, they will contain few to no errors, will cover the entire syllabus, contain practice problems, etc.

• Solve sample and previous year’s question and sample papers

• Take mock tests.

• When studying make it a point to take notes. These notes will help you jot down all the important points.

• Do timely revision. 

It is possible to prepare for CEED without coaching. But before you start on exam preparation on your own, you need the conviction that you can do it. If you are not convinced yourself and only decide to forgo coaching on the advice of others, the journey may be difficult.

If you prepare for the exam on your own, you need to be serious and plan the preparation smartly. Go through the syllabus. You must be able to decide the difficulty level, the time it will take to cover the syllabus, and revise. 

The counseling process for CEED qualified candidates is conducted by the participating colleges soon after the results of the entrance exam are declared.

Note that IIT Bombay will not conduct any Joint Seat Allotment for CEED 2024; interestingly, the institute conducts centralized counseling for UCEED 2024 (B.Des admission).

So, the candidate has to apply directly to the participating institutes with their CEED 2024 scores. 

The application schedule for admission will be notified by the respective participating institutes on their admission portals. The candidate will have to apply within the given deadline.

IIT Bombay will declare the results of CEED 2026 in the first week of March 2026. The result will be declared online at ceed.iitb.ac.in. To check their results, the candidate needs to log in to the result portals using their login ID. Hard copies of the results will not be sent to the candidate.

The CEED 2026 results will be released for all candidates who appear in the design entrance exam. However, the CEED 2026 merit rank will only be issued to candidates who qualify for Part A and are shortlisted.

The final answer key for CEED 2026 for Part A will be released on January 28, 2026.
