Yes, you can prepare for CEED exam without coaching. If you prepare for the exam on your own, you need to be serious and plan the preparation smartly. For instance, after going through the syllabus, you should be able to decide the difficulty level, time to cover syllabus and revise.

CEED Syllabus is lengthy and tough. Try to study difficult topics first and then focus on easy ones when the exams are near. Revise daily whatever you have studied.
CEED syllabus can be daunting for some candidates. So, if you are not able to complete it, don't panic. The trick in these situations is to first focus on the easy topics and complete the first. If you manage that your anxiety levels will automatically come down. Next move on the moderate difficult topics.

The topics listed in the CEED syllabus is indicative in nature. Also, the syllabus is exhaustive in the sense that questions may be asked from all or some of the topics. So, the candidate can’t skip any topics when preparing for CEED.
The candidate is urged to go through the previous years' question papers to get an idea about the paper structure and types of questions asked. That being said, keep in mind that the syllabus has been revised for CEED.
