CEED (Common Entrance Examination for Design) is an entrance exam conducted for admission to postgraduate courses in Design. CEED does not have any specialisations as such, but it tests candidates on various aspects of design thinking, visual perception, and creativity. CEED assesses a candidate's aptitude for design and evaluates their skills in various design-related domains such as problem-solving, communication, and visual perception.
However, the courses offered through CEED have specialisations. Here are some of the specialisations offered through CEED:
Industrial Design
Product Design
Communication Design
Animation Design
Interaction Design
Textile Design
Interior Design
Game Design
These specialisations are offered by various design colleges and universities across India, and candidates who clear the CEED exam can apply for admission to these courses.
CEED stands for Common Entrance Examination for Design. It is a national-level entrance examination conducted by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, on behalf of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India.
CEED is a qualifying examination for admission to Master of Design (M.Des.) programs at IITs and some other reputed institutions across India. It is also a prerequisite for the Ph.D. programs in design at some institutions.
The CEED exam assesses a candidate's ability to think creatively, problem-solve, and communicate their design ideas effectively. The exam comprises two parts: Part A and Part B. Part A is an online screening test that evaluates candidates' skills in visual and spatial abilities, analytical and logical reasoning, language, and design awareness. Part B is a drawing test, which is conducted offline. In this part, candidates are required to showcase their drawing, sketching, and designing skills to solve a given problem statement.
The exam is open to candidates from all educational backgrounds who have completed a degree or diploma of four years or more, or are in the final year of such a program. The CEED scores are valid for one year, and candidates can attempt the exam a maximum of two times in consecutive years.
