New update - Structured and listed resource collection for UCEED


 UCEED is basically an undergraduate design entrance exam (for B.Des). You may find it difficult to find materials directly in the form of books. I, therefore, gathered relevant materials in this post for your benefit. Many of the materials are available as downloadable PDF files.

Mathematical Geometry


UCEED questions seem to center mostly around mathematical aptitude; especially geometry type questions; which judge your observation, imagination, problem solving, lateral thinking and of course creativity. Keeping this in mind, I have gathered some useful materials related to basic geometry. I strongly believe that aspirants should have good knowledge about geometry solid transformations and manipulations. This subject area will directly improve your (above said) skills (observation, imagination and lateral thinking). So, that's why I would like you to start your UCEED practice by getting good grip on this area.

What to start? 
How to solve design aptitude, non-verbal, and Ability questions with examples



PART 2


How to count no. of surfaces in given solids



Maths Basics for non-math background design aspirants



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


Tips to solve Reasoning and Logical questions
My tips and training around Visualization and Observation 


Some very good video tutorials that help you with Solid transformations

Basic Geometry study (Just for reference) -

    A very Good guide about - Using Perspective and Vanishing Points

    Observation and Visualisation skills


    1. Puzzles to improve observation

    Tangram Puzzles - Downloadable PDF's

    2. Animation movement

    Basically, this section deals with step-by-step image movements; which when put whole-together, will help to create videos or animations. This type of questions needs your careful observation of the preceding and succeeding steps. For each of the example given in the link post  (below) observe the pattern and movement of hands, legs and other parts of the given image (human, animal etc)

    Check the detail in downloadable (Pdf) form Tips for analyzing the pattern and graphic movements >>

    3. Working with Geometric Objects

    Like I mentioned earlier, Solving Geometric object type of questions improves your imagination as well as visualization skills; thus UCEED examiners usually included object type of questions. I therefore worked with some examples and included a step-by-step process for solving such type of questions.

    Learn a way of Solving number of faces on complex objects >>

    4. Hidden words and images

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

    5. 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

    6. Illusions

    Improve Observation skills with Illusions -  here >>
    Second list of illusions - here >>

    7. Evolution of objects

    Evolution generally means 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.

    Abstract Tests


    Abstract, mathematical and mechanical aptitude type of questions didn't appeared in CEED exams, but those ARE REQUIRED for you ! This type of reasoning and logical questions seems to be a part of UCEED syllabus; and the sample model test that IIT B released recently proved this. I therefore, included abstract test exercises in this resources page for obvious reason. Abstract reasoning tests helps you with pattern findings and also for problem solving. 

    For now, I've managed to gather some questions that would help you by giving idea of what it looks like and how to deal with those questions. Later, if time permits, I will try to give my reasoning, and some idea on how to solve such questions. (These tests were taken from pscychometric-success.com)

    General, Mechanical and Verbal Reasoning questions


    A 200+ page collection of very good Mechanical ability questions PDF


    Most of the sample test papers (PDF files) that I've included here (below) has been taken from Job Test Prep website. Big thanks to the web owner for including free PDF files!

    General Design Awareness study topics


    I have covered a lot of topics related to CEED Part - A exam in my earlier posts for CEED students.  The topics are basically related to several design field awareness, their past, present and future. Fortunately, most of those topics can be directly helpful for UCEED aspirants also. Thankfully; that reduced my burden :)

    I therefore have included those selected topics and skipped some topics that might not be useful. Hope this will be helpful for your preparation. 
    Free time reference study

     Very good collection of web pages for GA and other aptitude topics - Resource (web page collections) for UCEED

    Answer/solutions to Previous CEED papers


    Solving previous years CEED Part - A questions would definitely help you with UCEED preparation. So, spare time to solve those questions too !


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Self-Evaluation test

    Before going through further materials as part of UCEED preparation. Let's see this. Assuming that you have over-viewed the above resources (topics related to geometry and pictorial questions), I would like you to check your understanding of the concept by solving one simple question. In this regard, I have included the link for your practice and self-evaluation.

      In mathematical geometry part ; firstly something is wrong with exercise questions( it gives an error). and also is the projection of shapes at different angles important for uceed( i am finding it difficult)

      1. Bhanu Chander V10 May 2015 at 11:16

        Will check that link, The reason why I included projection of shapes, although it has some chances of appearing in exaam is because, it seems to be the base for understanding solids and it improves imagination and observation like I mentioned in the post. Also, when you are able to draw those views, then you would also find it easy to solve questions like 'counting no. of surfaces' etc, without actually putting pen on paper ! That's why it would be better if you get to understand those concepts.

      3. Bhanu Chander V11 May 2015 at 21:09

        I think 'no'. It's just my guess and I think that archi questions might not appear in UCEED. That is the reason why I haven't included archi collections here (although I have complete set of Indian and world archi, that I shared in CEED resource page !)

        If you are not able to dervie by yourself, then best thing to do is to go through as many examples (reasoning questions) as possible to understand different concepts and how to solve those. That way you will get idea ....

      1. Bhanu Chander V11 May 2015 at 20:46

        It depends on personal choice. If you want the complete flavour of design with little or no concern towards engineering approach, go for NID, else if you wish to have a mix, then aim for IIT's. In either case, try both !

If you are able to cover the topics, then you may go for other topics of your choice. I cannot assure without knowing your practice level.

        It's not good to stop preparation by assuming that you have gone throug most topics bro! Remember that UCEED covers vast topics and we are yet to know which topics can appear in exam. The topics that I covered in this blog is simply based on the syllabi and my observation of the patter. We cannot judge that this is the sole topics to be prepared. Although I tried to cover design aptitude Nd other in covered topics through model and mock tests, I still feel that, the more one goes through practice exercise and the more one exposes to new topics, the more will be his/her chances of getting through UCEED. So, even if you feel like complete, still try to refer as many topics as possible, if not available in my blog, then look around and find topics in web, books, etc.
        Ultimately it is your inner positive confidence that gives success to you, even if your prepAration is bad ! So, be positive bro :)

        It's purely based on your visual observation. Even I sometimes confuse identifying the right one. Do, one thing, if you have system, open a word document and try to go through different types of fonts. Observe them, that's how you can learn about that.

        In reference to the Madgels question, the vertical lines in the M of Madgels are somewhat tilted while in reality they are straight, and the e in Madgels is somewhat straight in the middle and then round while in reality it is perfectly round. Hence the answer.

      Hello Sir.
      The exam was very interesting!A mixture of surprise and expectation.
      Section A and Section C to be specific :)
      Section B was weird. Kinda tough.
      I know you'd be interested, the question paper and answer key are out! Do check out :)

        That's really a formal way of giving feedback. That shows your courtesy. Yes, it's more of image type and with many surprises. I didn't even saw a single question related to Environment issues - that's really weird. Also they have covered more design GA questions related to culture, archi etc - that's also a big surprise. I guessed that those topics are not required at 12th level.

        Anyway, since this is a first paper, we have to cope with the surprises. And this is definitely helpful for the next year applicants. Thank you .......

      Hello Amber Agarwal,

      Thank you for the information, unfortunately I accidentally pressed delete button which was next to submit button, and so your comment got deleted, if you can drop it again, others would also get benefitted.

      It's okay if they copy this blogs mock test, but it's not okay, if they took 15k from students like you but thought you very less as part of UCEED preparation. I also came across one other design institute (in FB) stating that online resources are mis-guiding (indirectly pointing this blog) and only trainer based teachings are successful. Surprisingly similar kind of incident happened when I started my blog in 2013. The so called seniors (whom we're perusing MDes at that time) started pinching me, stating that I should not speak, unless I get into IDC! (Although I didn't stopped coz I know the importance of having a discussion platform!)

      While I didn't commented to that private institute critics at that time, it's sad to hear more happenings similar to that. Anyway, I wish the students not to waste their money further unless the institute is really worth joining (by getting reviews from people like you whom have already gone through the situation).

      Anyway, I tried and I'm still trying to make my blog posts a self study tool, because I myself being a follower and fan of 'self study' knows the pros and cons. Learning after certain level, should go by self - although guidance (not complete teaching) is there. That's why I have been insisting the blog readers (I created a google form last year for the earlier CEED students to make them understand the situation, get motivated and act) to start guiding the prospect students by their own through platforms like FB, mails, FB groups etc without even depending on my blog!

      The base idea is if many people (call it seniors whom already cleared CEED/UCEED) start giving guidance through these platforms, then there wouldn't be any need for the prospect students to depend on any institutes or blogs. I also wish this years UCEED crackers to start their group (hopefully in FB) and start giving advices for the next year UCEED students.

      Thank you for the info. I hope next year aspirants will note your feedback about the institutes :)

        I went to PAHAL DESIGN ACADEMY (Bhopal). I paid 15k for 30 day course.Firstly they didn't give me any demo class.When I joined the classes I found that teachers were under qualified.Not even a single question they taught in their so called 'crash course' appeared in UCEED.They copied Bhanu sir's Mock test and served it to us in their 'mock test'(I had already solved it by then).
        Secondly not for uceed only, their coaching was insufficient for NID,NIFT,NATA also.
        Overall it was a bad experience.

        Sessions are nothing to do with UCEED admissions. Since the number of applied candidates were more and since the examination centres were less, the UCEED examiners decided to conduct the same exam in two sessions (morning and afternoon - not for the same students - some students will be allotted in morning session while others would be allotted to afternoon session with different question paper of same difficulty level) to cope the applicants number. So, nothing to worry about that.

        Hello Riya,

        That's a great news, congrats.

        Although I'm sure you will get into IITB, but like you said, it's better to keep options for obvious reasons. IIITD&M is good if you are not that much keen for fashion. Else if you have no issues going through fashion studies, both Pearl and NIFT are good. In fact I would say that Pearl is a very good institute although it's a private run, still it has good name and faculty. Nothing much to say about NIFT, since they are nation recognized institute bodies like NID's or IIT's. If you are willing for OTHER THAN fashion courses, go for IITDM.

        You always have the option for masters (M.Des) In fact doing masters is recommended after bdes. So, I think you don't have to worry much about placements in any institute. Anyway, also watch out for Pearl Delhi admissions if you are particularly interested in placements right after your bachelors.

      Whenever I do perspective or composition drawing. I complete well . but, I take a lots of time.
      Almost one hour
      But, in examination they will give almost 20 min for that and they will provide (7X7 inch box). In that box we can't take vanishing point properly. What should we have to do in this conditions.???
      One more thing, in perspective drawing, which pencil we should work. ,firstly, I use 2H pencil for ruf sketching afterwards I use HB pencil.

      1. Bhanu Chander V24 July 2015 at 12:07

        Hello Abhishek,
        First of all, if you are aiming for UCEED, then drawing is not required as part of exam. If you are talking about CEED, then yes drawing is important in many ways. Although picture composition type are there in CEED (for less than 15-20 marks), compared to other design questions, this part has lesser marks. The reason is other questions (for > 30 marks) are design based. I think there shouldn't be any problem with perspective in this case. If not one vanishing point picture, try to go for multiple vanishing picture, it's always ok for design questions - bother mostly about your idea and the way you present them. 2H is fine for initial rough work, better go with 2B and 4B apart from HB. Stick mostly to 3-4 pencil types if your sketch skills are not fast enough to cover within the prescribed time.

        Fast sketching DEPENDS on your practice. The more you practice, the more time you can save time for sketching. Also, during exams, frame your sketches according to the time limit. There's a simple way - start with giving a overall shape/picture of your design, then only go for detailing. You may get a good guide on how to deal with sketch probably in this post of mine - How to start and what to practice for CEED

        Hello there, I guess I already gave enough tips from my side, anyway check yourself whether you have gone thru this page. You still have enough time and so, you can happily and easily cover almost all uceed topics, just make sure that you work and practice more on image and mathematical aptitude type questions, because that is what you need to concentrate from the very beginning, others like GA, cultural aspects and other theoretical ques can be covered at one time later also. So, amke yourself comfortable with geometry transformations, pattern analysis, observation of images like finding a pattern, identifying depth of the image (hidden image etc). Thsi si how your observation skills can be improved, others can be taken care like I mentioned. Just take a moment and go thru this page, see if it can clear ur doubts !

        I can see your seriousness about cracking UCEED exam, since you are already a science student, I think you are already on safer side! also trust me UCEED is much more easier than CEED, you don't really have to think negatively, all you can do is practice from your side, the topics and the syllabus listed here in this page and from the official UCEED page, as you can see ceed (part A) n uceed pattern r almost same, so u can take both the materials from ceed n uceed resource pages as well as practice the mock tests and sample tests that has been included. Don't touch Part B of CEED, which is not required for your level. Answer to the question 'How to start preparation ?' as already been dealt in this link, please refer to this

        How to start and what to pracice for UCEED exam

        You can spend less than 2 hrs a day, that is more ....more...more....than sufficient considering the no, of months that is left till the exam. Study materials according to the syllabus are already included in this page, you can refer to them. Trust yourself n prepare well, u can easily crack the exam. Try ur hands on this years (uceed2015) paper n chk in which areas (topics) u r lacking, then concentrate on those topics from now. Also, u may chk my reply above to get more insights.

        Dear Mr. Bharti,
        while i'm not sure about Pace, but since you are confident that your daughter is good enough to clear studies, I think that itself is more than enough, and she can study by her own, (may be with your guidance). Also coaching for uceed is not yet intense in any available coaching centre. I had feedback from some students about some institutes, that they are taking my bog mock tests and content as part of their course. Anyway, since uceed difficulty level is not that much compared to ceed, she can go with self study. Also if she clears JEE both rounds and get the chance of getting btech in iit's, let her also try that. If incase she joins btech, and at later point, she feels like it's not suited for her, then also she has the option of going for mdes ! which is also a design course.
        Options for btech graduates are diverse and usually design students end in confusion as to which track to choose. So, let her think, whether she can bear with btech or some other course from it's and if she has no issues, let her opt that.

        I still don't understand the idea of analysing for ranks and institutes, almost everyone is bothered much about the future rather than the present! If I were to take an exam, I would target for the first rank, n if I'm lucky enough to get near about top ranks, then I would choose the top institutes, else I will select the next best option, if neither happens and if i can bear one more year, I will wait n will try to crack the preceding year considering my interest in that field.

        Please start focusing on you preparation rather than about institutes, institute selection SHOULD be a later part (after exam) and u can decide whether to choose or not! after giving exam, u can decide which college is better based on ur rank!

        It's ok if u skip some prep. parts esp. GA type, it's no good idea to cover all topics in depth (which is not possible!), but one can give a short overview of them. I'm not not sure about cutoffs and lowest scores, just focus on practising and getting top score rather than concerning about marks, remember negative markings are applicable, so even one with full subject grip have higher chances of making mistakes! than one who leaves them if it's doubtful, hope u understood......

So, u need to go thru as many (observation/visualization and other) design aptitude questions as possible. That will improve ur speed too! speed of solving ques is also imp in uceed! so indulge in as many sample questions/exercises as possible.

      Sir , in Multiple Selection Questions, it is mentioned that .... 'An answer is considered correct only if ALL the correct choices and NO wrong choices are selected. Each correct answer will be awarded 5 marks and each wrong answer will be awarded –0.5 marks. There is NO PARTIAL marks. Questions not attempted will be given zero marks.'

      So .. If out of 3 correct answers, we marked only 1 or 2 CORRECT answers, so we shall be awarded -0.5 or zero ?

      Sir, first of all, thankyou so much for this blog. Sir, how do we prepare for font related questions.

      1. Bhanu Chander V29 December 2015 at 18:31

        Although it's purely observative, I can say that Fonts can be categorized into several groups. Once you know them and if you are capable of finding the difference such
        1. width of each alphabet
        2. Height
        3. Extensions/tooth
        4. Curving/plain/bends ........etc

        it would be very easy to identify difference fonts. But if the question is like which Font TYPE it is, then there's no other way other than remembering them!

        There's good number of links for font guide here -
        Second set of GA resources for UCEED/CEED and NID

        Mostly, GA topics needs the last moment revision and if you have gone through everything, check yourself the topics that you might have missed, other thing is check if you are able to solve all aptitude and logical problems. Don't expect the same type as in previous papers or in mock tests!
        Design and english comprehension are the topics that most people neglect, what abt u? and GA topics can never be studied full! the more you dig, the more new or related info you get. So, don't restrict but move on to in depth topics of GA.

      Recently UCEED uploaded a declaration that is to be submitted in case two figures were not displayed properly in the recent exam ,..Any idea on which question it might be ? ...Because when I checked the question paper released today , I found that one of the images (Q no 16 ) was not displayed properly , The bottom part of the picture was missing when I attended the paper ... I am not sure if i should fill in the declaration because it says " some of the terminals in some of the centres did not display the figures for two questions " ...in my case the figure was displayed , but was a bit cropped out

        That was for those who really faced the problem. Some students weren't able to see two images, only for them the declaration form is applicable. They have the system to check to who this happened, so if it didn't happened with you, don't do anything, otherwise you will get into trouble!
