UCEED

The official mock tests are meant to be taken in the last few weeks before the UCEED 2025 exam. So, you shouldn’t typically take mock tests at the start or even middle of your UCEED 2025 exam preparation. The logic being mock tests are not designed to help you improve your problem-solving ability nor your time-management skills. In fact, mock tests are meant to help you get a exam like ambience before the exam and understand what is like to be inside the exam centre. 

That being said, mock tests designed by some coaching institutes are more comprehensive and might help you build problem-solving ability and time-management skills. 

If you consider the question paper of UCEED 2023, then the exam can be considered to be moderately difficult. For instance, of the 68 questions asked, around 18 questions fall in the moderate category, 18 in the moderate to difficult category, while the rest can be tagged easy to moderate. 

In contrast, NIFT and NID DAT are considered to be tougher. This is because in NID DAT, more weightage is given to subjective and drawing-related questions. Consequently, the candidate needs to be very creative and have strong fundamentals to answer the questions. In NID DAT for the B. Des programme, DAT Prelims carries 40% weightage, while DAT Mains carries 60% weightage.
