The UCEED exam is designed to test your overall design aptitude, which includes both analytical thinking and creative skills. Here's how the exam works:

Two-Part Exam: UCEED is divided into two parts – Part A and Part B – and both parts must be attempted within a total of three hours.

Part A: This is a computer-based test with objective-type questions. It’s divided into three sections:

Numerical Answer Type (NAT): You’ll have to calculate answers and enter them directly (no options given).

Multiple Select Questions (MSQ): Each question may have one or more correct answers. Select all the correct options to score full marks.

Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ): You’ll choose one correct answer out of four options. Be careful – there’s negative marking here!

Part B: This part focuses on your sketching abilities and design aptitude. You'll be given two questions to answer on a physical answer sheet, testing how well you can draw and visualize objects in proportion, as well as your creative problem-solving skills.

Marks Distribution:

Part A is worth 200 marks and consists of 57 questions.

Part B is worth 100 marks and consists of two questions.

Time Allotment:

2 hours are allotted for Part A.

1 hour is reserved for Part B.

Evaluation Process:

Part A will be evaluated by the system automatically.

Part B will be manually evaluated by experts. If needed, the answer sheet may go through multiple evaluations to ensure fairness.

The combination of both parts ensures that you’re tested on both technical knowledge and creative skills, making UCEED a well-rounded exam for design aspirants.
