UCEED

The Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design (UCEED) is conducted by IIT Bombay for admission into the B.Des programs at top IITs — in Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Roorkee Indore and IIITDM in Jabalpur. UCEED is considered one of the toughest design exams due to its rigorous testing of logical reasoning, visual aptitude, and sketching skills.

The exam has two parts:

• Part A: Computer-based tests numerical aptitude, logical reasoning, and design awareness.
• Part B: Pen-and-paper-based sketching test to assess visualization and creativity.

At afdindia, UCEED coaching includes:

• Classes taught by experts on design aptitude and lateral thinking.
• Practice sessions using test simulations and UCEED-style mock papers.
• Detailed guidance for the drawing and visualisation activities in Part B.
• Students are prepared to confidently tackle the test's academic and practical components.

afdindia guarantees that all UCEED candidates are prepared for the test through interactive classrooms, visual-based instruction, and frequent performance evaluations.
