UNDERGRADUATE COMMON ENTRANCE EXAMINATION FOR DESIGN (UCEED)

The Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay administers the Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design (UCEED). It is a combined entrance exam for IIT-Bombay, IIT-Guwahati, and IITDM-Bachelor Jabalpur's of Design programs.

However, only IIT Bombay and IIITDM Jabalpur accept applications from students from any other stream that does not include math, physics, chemistry, or any of the arts or humanities.

In reality, UCEED is an examination for UG design admissions. In essence, it is a design program that covers the broad topics of the four main design streams: product design, animation, visual communication, and mobility. This course is for those who want to pursue design as a profession and have artistic talent or creative skills. One must have a passion for design in order to succeed in the field, rather than choosing it merely for employment.
