Mathematical Geometry


Image-based reasoning is very important for UCEED. This requires good imagination and visualization skills. To get this skill, as a first step, you are advised to learn on how to visualize a given solid from all directions. This will help you build your aptitude skill. 

Here are set of my video tutorials that will help with non-verbal, design aptitude and geometry kind of questions

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


PART 16


Maths Basics for non-math background design aspirants



How to count no. of surfaces in given solids




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





Some good video tutorials from youtube that help you with Solid transformations

Other downloadable materials
Basic Geometry study (for reference) -
More - Sectioning of solids from NPTEL
    A very Good guide about - Using Perspective and Vanishing Points

    Observation and Visualisation skills


    1. Puzzles to improve observation

    Tangram Puzzles -     Downloadable PDF's
    PDF book on Non-verbal and Pictorial puzzles to improve observation

    Practice questions for Non-verbal (abstract test) questions

     2. Animation movement

    This topic covers the notion of frame making as used in animation. This basically involves the consecutive steps/positions of the image.

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

    3. Working with Geometric Objects

     Some solved geomtry related questions (Pdf) with explanation -  working with geometry objects >>

    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

    My solution for tetrahedron tessellation problem - Tetrahedron Tessellation problem solving here>>

    Geometry representations by Malati - here>>

    Leisure time works

    • A detailed instructions on how to draw a tessellation by David B Sullivan -  here
    • Best tessellations work by Escher from teacherweb - here

    6. Illusions

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

    7. Evolution of objects (less important)

    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.
    check the details in downloadable (Pdf) from Some examples of evolution here >>

    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

     Extra 1 - Mirroring

    Answer/solutions to Previous CEED papers


    Solving previous years CEED Part - A questions would  help you with UCEED preparation as both the syllabus are mostly same. Spare some time to solve CEED 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.

    Sample Practice question for self evaluation 

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

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

     Sample numerical and aptitude questions for UCEED

    English comprehension


    Comprehension material 1

    Very good exercise with answer key


    leisure time study - TOEFL material

    Indian cultural GA

    I strongly believe that - it's not that important to study topics like Indian Architecture, buildings, Indian past and present culture; but because I received requirement from a blog friend (through FB) to share these topics, I therefore include those topics here (that I have prepared for CEED).  I once again remind you that these topics are of least importance to your preparation !

    Indian state paintings and painters

    Indian musical instruments

    Something about India and time

    Cultural and complete Architectural collection of India  (Not Imp)

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

    Materials and manufacturing related


    I had detailed and categorized materials as well as manufacturing process with examples of day-to-day products. Don't spend much time on this topic ! Just give a brief overview.

    1. Every day materials - here >>
    2. Plastic materials and manufacturing process - A very good guide for household plastic materials and their manufacturing process. You may not go through manufacturing process, just note for what material, what particular manufacturing process is employed - here >>
    3. Tips for selecting plastic materials - here >>
    4. Top Indian stone and rock carvings - here >>
    A very good website for practising unfolded views of solids - Practice unfolded views of solids >>

      This is such a comprehensive overview of most topics in the uceed syllabus. Thank you so muchhhhh. I just wish you would have more material for counting faces on complex shapes maybe with practice questions

        'counting of surfaces' is already covered in many posts and videos earlier, which are already available in this page. You just have to take as many exercises as possible and keep practicing rather than always looking at solved videos or explanations. That's because, the more you solve, the more you will understand how to solve such complex ques. Check out the first video series above in which I've some of them already.
