Resources and books for CEED exam preparation

You are here Resources >> Resource and books for CEED


An updated (revamped) resource page with a structured way of helping you navigate to the right post for CEED has been shared here (2020 update) -

Collection of CEED exam study materials  


Let's go through some of the resources under separate headings. Most of these resources and materials are prepared by me for your smooth preparation. Some other external links and books can be found on the internet, but it might be difficult for you to find them and gather together. I, therefore, grouped them in this page under different sub-headings for your convenience and better understanding.

You may also get CEED previous years question papers at the end of this page.

Sketching and Perception drawing Skills


Sketching is the most important part of your CEED exam. Usually drawing is a mode of communicating your ideas in paper (visually).

Here is my complete guide on - How to learn sketching and what strategies to follow to improve drawing skills in CEED exam


Latest update: Tips for Exploded view drawing


Other than my guide. there are some good number of handful books for you to go through them to improve your drawing skills. check them below
  • A very good sketching views of drawings and general things and drawing techniques can be found in the book by David Lewis - here
  • Superb book for learning sketching techniques and different facets of design (including perspective, shadowing, shading, texture, architectural facts etc) - Design drawing by Francis D.K.Ching
  • A very famous complete pdf book "Basic Rendering" from Robert W.Gill, which covers most of the rendering topics including perspective projections (for starters having time)

Sketching Level required/sufficient for CEED and UCEED exams



Observation and Visualization skills


1. Puzzles to improve observation

Tangram Puzzles - Downloadable PDF's
2. Animation movement

 This type of visualization is an important tool for those aspiring to do Animation Design as career. Even this type of questions usually appears in CEED exam. Basically it deals with step-by-step image movements; which when put whole-together helps to create videos or animations.

Check the detail in downloadable (Pdf) form here>>

3. Working with Geometric Objects

 Solving Geometric object type of questions improves your imagination as well as visualization skills; thus CEED examiners usually include object type of questions regularly. I therefore worked with some examples and included step-by-step process for solving such type of questions.

Here is my latest post - Improve imagination, work with 3D solids and unfolding of solid shapes

 Check the details in downloadable (Pdf) from here>>

Maths Basics for non-math background design aspirants



My video series on 'How to solve design aptitude, non-verbal, and ability questions



4. Evolution of objects

 Evolution generally mean product cycle from past to present. So, you are generally required to observe and identify the everyday use items (say TV) from old to new generation.
check the details in downloadable (Pdf) from here>>

 5. Hidden words and images

Check the details in downloadable (Pdf) from here>>

6. Tessellations

Generally called as unfolded views, Tessellation is all about unwrapping a solid on a flat surface and drawing the unfolded view on a paper. I also gave easy way of solving tetrahedron tessellation problem in one of my pages. check below links

Design thinking and Creativity Studies


Like I said in my other blog pages; sketching is just a tool to represent your ideas, in other words its a mode of communicating your ideas. Now, when you don't get creative ideas then there is no meaning of learning about drawing or sketching. You must first focus on ways of developing your creativity and design thinking skills. of course the above section on illusions and hidden words will also help you develop your thinking skills.

Here is my posts giving in-depth ideas on "how to improve your creativity and lateral thinking"

  4. Top sculptors - here
  5. Top Indian stone and rock carvings - here
  6. Famous bronze sculptures - here

User Interface Design (UID) guide


UI Designs are a form of Visual communication or I can say it's more or less related to Interaction Design (IXD) and CEED started asking similar questions recently. The fact is UID questions are easy to attempt and even they consume lesser time compared to other design questions like Product design, story board framing or even comic strips. The only thing you must consider is to know about how it can be designed and what are the basic principles involved in UID. 

I had given all the details - fundamental principles, standard rules, mobile UID features as well as what could be done (some thumb rules) in attempting such questions in CEED exam here - Fundamental principles and rules in User Interface Designs

Comic Strips


Japanese usually call comic strips as manga. They are an important form of communicating a story or idea in pictorial forms usually with comments (also called callout). Lets check the related pages for comic strip improvement
  • A very good guide for comic strip by Peter Dawes in PDF -here
  • Steps for creating comic strip by courtsed web in PDF - here

General Knowledge

Color Selection

Let us now see some pdf files, which may help you choose color at different occasions
Something about - Prototype making from MIT, Cambridge

Product Design Open course free PDF's - MIT Product Design open courseware

Abstract Tests

Let me tell you that questions from Abstract reasoning tests won't appear in CEED exams, but I included abstract test exercises in this resources page for a reason. Abstract reasoning tests helps you with pattern findings and also for problem solving. I hope that there may not be any harm in trying this type of tests; which usually takes hardly one day. Theses tests were taken from pscychometric-success.com

  2. Test 2 - here
  3. Test 3 - here
  4. Test 4 - here

There are no secret to success. Success is directly proportional to your preparation, hard work and learning from your failures. Unless you plant a seed, you can't expect  a tree. Same goes with your CEED preparation. The more you practice suggested tests, sketching and observation skills, the more likely you improve your creative thinking skills; thus helping yourself crack CEED exam.

      Delete
    3. Bhanu Chander V22 September 2020 at 19:48

      two things you need to chck for eligibility
      1. Eligibility to take design as a career
      2. Eligibility for the entrance exams and for the institutes

      The first eligibility is you want to check yourself why you are choosing this field. Is that because you've a passion or interest in this field (have you checked your skills? like sketching, design thinking etc.) or is that just because you want a career change. You know what, complete art is different from design. They both may not be same. If you can clear yourself whether your real interest in in art or in design or in both, then yes you are eligible to choose this career. For this, you can share your works with me (thru syl fb page or any of my social profiles above) like the samples or DIY or whatever work you may have done as your hobby or your free time job so that based on that we can get a clarity what is your real interest. Design is not a thing which everyone can take and that's y I'm suggesting you to check this from your side.
      The eligibility for giving CEED is something like 10+2+4 or 10+2+3+2 or something like that as mentioned in their official website or in official brochure. Take a look at their eligibility condition and check whether you are good to give. Remember that NID allows an eligibility of 10+2+3, and so you may want to consider that exam too. Next, apart from these entrance exams eligibility, the institutes offering mdes have their own eligibility criteria (surprisingly). like some IITs cannot take student with 10+2+3 category. So, you also have to go through the institutes offering your interested stream (like PD, UI, Animation etc) and check for their eligibility condition.

      Could you share and let me know the pattern of NID ug ? is that like UCEED ug pattern ? If so, then this blog is the right place to start your preparation. If the exam is similar to NID PG, then this blog helps very little! You need to go for help in some other way. This blog exclusively covers CEED and UCEED topics - almost completely and very little on NID.

      There no prescribed books are for CEED, and unfortunately as far as I heard, books available for CEED are not that wworth. Topics are broadly covered, and so we cannot expect any book to cover all the syllabi. CEED previous papers are there to give you idea, you need to consider similar topics and practice.

    Hello Bhanu.

    I would personally wanna thank you for the efforts you have put in to come up with this website. Really appreciate it.

    I wanna know what would you advice to prepare for CEED under 15 days.
    And if possible guide me through how to specifically approach the Sketching part of the paper under such a short period of time i.e. 15 days such that I do not waste time on extra things.

    P.S. I have prepared for the general study part of the papers.

      Last year, I made a video to answer this query, probably that should answer your questions, you can chk the below link. Sketching part is involving, u could have taken that initially !!

      anyway here are some points
      1. Take the best part of the design field that u r good at, some are good at VC, logos some are gud at PD, so identify ur strength and try working on it specifically and also take two more stream as part of preparation. In other words don't try to prepare all the design streams at this point of time, It's not gud idea, think for urself,
      2. If u r gud at making/creating ideas, then u need to practice on intense sketching (sketching in full fledge) to strengthen yourself
      3. If ur idea generation process is avg and is time taking, then u MUST take as many design examples as possible, and sketch them roughly (or avg., instead of intense sketching) to make u comfortable in idea generation as well as implement them. I think Idea carries more weight and even if u represent them roughly (but clearly - in the sense in a understandable manner) you may score better marks, CEED exam is creative/idea tester and not about sketching testing, sketching is only a part!
      4. Take as many design samples/examples, analyse and frame idea, imagine them visually, then try to make a rough sketch such that it depicts everything, but I expect u to put ur full sketching strenth during exam ;)
      5. Most importantly stop sketching portraits, cars, bikes, scenes, object sketches as far as possible

      DAT preparation is stream specific if u are applying thru CEED or general if you are giving private institute DAT exams. For general DAT -- regular CEED and NID preparation (I guess GA not required) will help you. I think they are sufficient, I'm not pretty sure just a guess. I will check if I can work out for any DAT related materials. Anyway you may check this for interview and portfolio tips

      Mostly, DAT will cover questions from almost all engg fields, esp mechanical, electrical, civil etc. Questions might be below 20 in number I guess. Mostly basics. Kinematics and mechanics is what you need to concentrate more as far as I heard. Second part is making a design, where you will be given design question similar to CEED design part and will be asked to make a design, may be including material selection, usage and so on.

And I believe selection panel checks your design interests and ur skills with key focus. So, just go ahead with ur prep. Keep urself confident. That will bring success even if u don't prepare :)

      everything is in this page itself. Go thru it including sketching help, also chk CEED page for knowing about other ceed aspects. There isn't any mantra or talisman, it all depends on ur enthu, hard work, aptitude n finally confidence.

    I have seen the no. seats in d exam an also the no. of canidates appearing. The no. looked scary. Being of general caste, what is the minimum marks I need to crack it??
    Also, what is the minimum marks I need to get into IIT Bombay particularly?
    P.S.- The materials you provide seem so much better than the other sites. They are of real help.

      It's hard to tell coz there isn't any standard count on the no. of questions per topic, so practice on list of topics that you feel you're doing better, try to improve them and then move to the harder part. Mostly study design aptitude ques like designers details, culture, image based aptitude etc.

    Hello,
    Can you share the list of topics for Model Aptitude and Numerical questions for CEED/NID DAT. In your blog I found questions and answers which were very helpful but I am looking for list of topics covered under these type of questions.
    Direct link would be helpful.
    Also, a quick suggestion- Navigating to different resources becomes difficult as useful resources are scattered throughout the blog which requires us to bookmark every link.
    If you could have one tab listing all the links or a download section to download all the available PDFs would be very helpful.
    Thank you once again for this blog.It's a one stop shop !:D

      Ya, I know people are gud at giving free quick suggestions to get their works in spoon feeding way without being putting the little effort of searching! I agree we tend to look for instant help from someone, and we wish things to be utmost comfortable to us (putting all the pdfs in one page - that's a good wish) not even caring about their discomforts or without even realizing why he/she need to do for us! It's a typical nature :P

      If you have searched the blog properly in CORRECT place, u would've found what u needed - like how others are able to find. Trying to go through more than 100 posts over night is a good wish but is that practical ?

      The proper menu tabs above (CEED and NID) r clearly visible n if u click it the link, first post itself will fetch what u were looking - list of topics!

      http://stuffyoulook.blogspot.in/2014/05/how-to-start-and-what-to-practice-for-CEED-exam.html

      Now, u can see what u missed n how u want someone for ur need?

      Sorry but the suggestion was put forth to be taken as a constructive feedback.Hence it was tagged as a 'suggestion' - idea for consideration and not to be forcefully implemented.
      It is not about the comfort but we don't want to miss out on any important topic.

      We sincerely appreciate your effort but the point was suggested so that we make maximum use of the effort you have for this blog.

      I think the website has been removed by them. Even the main website home page link is not working. Sadly, you have to adjust with the other links. If I find something, I will include in place of that.
