Resources and general awareness guide for Part-A

You are here Resources >> Part-A resource and guide

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) -



Before head .....

CEED Pattern


Remember that CEED is only a common entrance test and is not for a specific stream. So, questions will be expected from almost all the design streams and some basic designer requirements. Let us see the pattern
  • Visual Communication - Logo's, signage, advertising, packaging, fonts etc.
  • Animation Design - Movement observation, comic strips, visuals etc.
  • Product Design - Latest and newest products and trends, current products etc.
  • Automobile Design - Aesthetics, manufacturers and plants etc.
  • Digital (applied to almost all the fields) - Photography, color coding, displays, printing etc.
  • Observation (Basic designer skill) - Mirroring, textures, evolution (past to present), isometrics and geometry, tessellations, shadows and more.
  • Architecture - Sculpture, monuments, materials etc.
  • General awareness - Engineering ability, materials, culture of the country, famous personalities and their works, instruments, animals etc.

Now, we will go through the main resources section. As the topics are more, putting them in a single page is difficult and also confusing. So, I grouped them by giving different headings and also gave links which will take you to the specific page.    



  GA on Designers and famous personalities 


>> Complete Architectural guide for Part - A

Other Part-A guide 


(That had already been discussed in my other posts)

Sample Numerical and Aptitude questions for CEED

    Hello Sir,
    You have a wonderful collection of resources. Great job!
    I am preparing for CEED 2017. I had a look at previous year question papers and I am clueless about how to prepare for Numerical aptitude problems. Kindly suggest, how should I go about it?

      Num Aptitude ques is not a one day game, you need to practice questions inorder to grasp the questions/methods. Mathematical and geometrical questions needs ones involvement, if you find yourself comfortable with those questons, then you will soon find that you can solve many un-similar questions too! so in the beginning try to understand the method/process employed to solve that prob by going thru that then later try to solve ques with your own knowledge.

      Why do u wish to take the extra mile of introducing additional characters? You could instead prefer to focus and give preference to refine the asked no. of characters, right? If they mentioned, I would stick to that coz a person like me prefers to meet their needs.
      The utilisation of the given space/page for drawing determines the ability of the person. So stick to the space they provide, usually it will be A4 or even half page for some specific ques

      regardless of year, ceed previous years mock tests are always applicable. Try them. Also, uceed papers (prev as well as mocks) are very good for CEED practice. Will try to add more if time permits.

      Taking and aiming for too many exams will always confuse you. Aim for 3-4 exams but try other exams too. For you, I suggest M.Arch, urban planning and related courses. As a backup you can keep CEED.
