CEED last few days preparation priority list

 List of topics to prepare and to skip (2021 update)

Part B

1. Avoid spending hours for sketching of one particular question.
2. Problem identification (given a product or scenario) and creativity are the the two area which you should continue till the last day. You don’t have to sketch, just list down the identified problems or quickly scribble the creativity part.
3. Do quick scribbling of line sketching and do a few situation based exercises too, like at least two situations in just one half an hour!
4. Don’t spend more than three hours per day for part B, if you have the whole day for your preparation.

Part A

1. Skip current affairs and GK
2. Skip Materials and Manufacturing process study
3. If you have started your preparation recently - skip design awareness (like culture, designers, painters etc. - from here on let’s term this as GA)
4. If you have been preparing for a while, esp. the image based and non verbal part and haven’t touched GA part then quickly revise the following GA topics
• Painting, state wise painting, art and all.
• Quickly go through colour theory
• Famous designers,
• Quickly about photography
• Based on leftover time, plan to cover any other GA topics that you felt imp.
• Revise and practice some samples of nonverbal and image involved aptitude questions, including ability questions
• Practice at least one previous paper with a time limit. It’s fine to cross check the answers but never ever try to estimate the score or check if that score is sufficient or not! Remember, whether you prepare or not your positive attitude and confidence are very important and if you keep comparing scores you might loose your confidence....for no reason. So be smart!
5. If you are not ready with non verbal too (just started), then do the following
• Skip current affairs
• Skip entire GA including about designers, materials etc. No need to touch any and it’s absolutely ok, especially if you feel you can pick up some score from the below preparation
• Practice wholly (apart from the sketching) on
• Abstract tests
• Solids and their manipulation (folding, unfolding, different views, counting no. of surfaces etc.)
• General, mechanical and spatial ability
• Deductive reasoning
• Odd man out series
• Revise basic math formulas (check the formulas in this video and they are more than sufficient)
• Skip signs, symbols etc,
• Skip paragraph comprehension (just face them during exam)
• Base on time availability you may plan to cover the utmost imp GA topics as listed above
6. Again, Practice at least one previous paper with a time limit. It’s fine to cross check the answers but never ever try to estimate the score or check if that score is sufficient or not! Remember, whether you prepare or not your positive attitude and confidence are very important and if you keep comparing scores you might loose your confidence....for no reason. So be smart!

That’s it...

All the best, 
Your bro,

CEED one month practice topics - quick list

(Updated with new strategy from 2021)

A very quick list of topics useful for one month CEED preparation.  

Before that I will answer the question that might be troubling you - 'Is one month sufficient?'. 

The straight answer is 'YES'

Just use the available time properly and stop having the questions

'what marks should I get?', 

'How may questions should I attempt?'

and more....

I considered suggesting some topics purely based on my view.

I suggest you to modify the below generic strategy and come up with your own strategy, which shall be best suited for you.....according to your abilities, speed, time availability and other commitments. 

Let's start being self dependent :)

Complete CEED related SYL blog links download PDF (2021 update)

Priority list

1) Sketching

If you have been practicing from a while then continue with the flow. If you are just starting then start by solving 2020 previous paper (or the most recent one)....Coz first you should understand the sketch questions type being asked. Once you understood, start practicing similar questions. 

The below strategies are suggested assuming that you have already practiced sketching basics like - line quality, perspective sketching, sketching minding form, shape, size, proportion etc. If you haven't and are starting a fresh, then you may want to practice general sketching to improve the above mentioned factors.

The topics that need immediate focus and can be continued until the first three weeks are

• Scenario based sketching (given a scenario and the requirements and you are asked to show that) - like Q1 in CEED 2020 paper - if you have time then at least an hour. If no time then min 30 mins
• Making form - like Q4 in CEED 2020 paper - take one or two ques each day and spend around 30 mins

Visual synthesis part (like Q3 in CEED 2020 paper) can be planned only for one week and that too on the third week (start two weeks before the exam and use only one week for this) - may be 20-30 mins per day if you've less time.

 

The below topics should be continued until the last day from the very beginning because these are very important!

• Problem Identification (like Q5 in CEED 2020)  - if you have time then spend as much time, solve a minimum of 2-3 questions for which the problems needs to be identified
• Creative thinking (like Q2 in CEED 2020) - take at least one question and try to solve. 

I've already listed many practice questions and you can use them or you can use use questions from any other sources that you have. But do practice as much as you can and improve quickly....

CEED Part B Practice Questions Part 2

Find more Practice Questions

Check the below video on sketching Level required (sufficient) for CEED if you haven't yet 

(This will clarify, guide as well as prevent you from doing wrong practices since time is precious!) 

2) 

Next comes Part A practice, Following topics (that deals with visualization/imagination) are recommended first

Geometrical views, 

Projections, 

Solid manipulations, 

Visualization of solids (practice these very quickly)

Basically any type of questions dealing with images, solids etc., including the puzzles kind are recommended

How to Solve Design Aptitude, non verbal, and ability questions with clear explanation

3)

Mensuration (medium level) - topics that need the basic maths (trust me, no need to go for detailed mathematics, very very basics formulaes are sufficient. I've already covered them in this video. It will hardly take a few hours to memorize them.) Keep practicing this on daily basis by spending say 15-20 mins every day until u feel u are able to solve problems related to mensuration. 

This includes problems on (mostly the below are sufficient) 

Pythagoras theorem

Basic level - Area, volume,

Triangles,

Circles.

Check the video on Basic Mathematics formulas sufficient for Design exams

A snap from the video showing the basic formulas sufficient from mathematics

4)

Mechanical Ability, Spatial ability,

5)

Image Aptitude, 

Pictogram puzzles, 

Inference from pictures

Animation movement

6)

Pattern recognition from images

7)

Image observation (like identifying similar patterns in a set of patterns)

8)

Paper cuts

9) Reading/Paragraph comprehension (Very little - don't spend much time on this if you have already done some practice or if this is handy to you, but remember this topic is important for UCEED exam!)

And finally

10) GK/GA on 

1. Art, painters - works of famous artists, ability to identify and recognise the works,  
2. Renaissance
3. Designers,  famous persons related to design
4. Indian art history, Culture
5. Photography and art media - terms, techniques, standards, 
6. Color theory, Art and print media
7. Architecture - significant/historical structures, persons, media, variants etc
8. Logos (mostly in Indian context that too related to design institutes, governmental service sectors as well as cars, skippable if you have less time)
9. Indian regional culture, literature, music, style etc 
10. Materials (just overview if you have time else skip)
11. English - (skip this, no need to spend time for this).

The first nine in the list above......you can start immediately, and skip the design GA initially. In the last week before the exam (or if you can cover up the above topics quickly.....then you can use the last two weeks before the exam) 

Or, if you feel that you need more time for sketching and the aptitude part of Part A then it is safe to skip some topics of GA. That's because not many questions are seen in CCED papers related to GK and/or design GA. 

Also, don't forget to attempt previous papers (including UCEED, NID papers) so as to keep a track of the time that you consume for answering the papers as well as keep yourself in pace with the time-bound answering.

Good luck :)

Tips for Exploded views drawing

Hi,

I got a couple of comments on this blog asking to deal with Exploded views. So, today, I will be covering on some tips for exploded view drawing. Note that these topics are not at all required for UCEED students, so they are not advised to go through this or any of sketch/design related post as of now. CEED and NID students would find this helpful. 

Before explaining exploded view, let me introduce you with assembly drawing, the most common term for mechanical engineers. 

Many of the products in our surroundings are made of several small parts. Take the example of a Pen. A typical pen is a combination of rifle, outer top case, outer bottom plastic/metal case, cap and a holder to the cap. A combination of these we call as a pen, and representing the parts together intact in their working position is termed as 'Assembling' or 'Assembly drawing'. 

Exploded view is quite opposite of assembling. Although the view should show all parts in unassembled part, the parts are not intact, meaning they will be shown separately, which are ready to be assembled. Again, let us take the example of a simple bolt-nut combination with a washer in between, as shown in the below image.

Clearly, the above product is an assembly of three parts, viz. bolt, washer and nut. (If you're not able to identify the three parts, check the below image). As indicated by the blue lined arrow in the above image, the two parts (nut and then washer) has to be moved in the direction in order to disassemble it (along the axis indicated by red line in the image). The separated parts would look something like below.  

The above picture could be considered as exploded view, since it clearly specifies the individual parts in their assembling positions. If we undo the process, I mean slid the washer and nut along the axis of movement (red line), then it will get assembled, right? This is a proper way of representing.

However, people often do the mistake the showing parts in different directions/axis not in-line with the assembly. For example, in the above image, we know that the washer and nut should lie along the red axis line to be assembled, now consider the below image 

Both the parts are on the other side of the bolt face, and if we try sliding it in the axis direction (along red axis as shown by blue arrows), we cannot assemble it, so, this is not a good way of representing. 

Also, check the below image, 

The axis of the two parts (green line) are not in line with the axis of the base part (bolt - red line), and so any movement of the nut/washer will not end in assembly, except you take it from green axis and place it in red axis. So, this also cannot be considered as a good exploded view. Now, check the below image which again violates and cannot support assembling of parts to form a single product with a single slide.

With the above simple example and several set of images, I hope you now got an idea of how actually to represent exploded views. Individual parts (that forms the complete product) has to be shown apart from the base part, such that they are inline (along the same axis) while during assembly. 

Below design is my solution to CEED 2009 product design problem in which we have to design a multi-purpose walking stick for the elderly, complete design and detailed discussion are available in this link. 

For the above design, one possible exploded view could be drawn as below

Although, I could've showed exploded details of more features/parts like the compass, mp3 player, switch, LED light in the top front as well as at the bottom etc, still it is valid since, whatever separate parts that I've shown including the screw, they were placed at the proper place in the proper direction.   

Below, is one more design question from CEED 2013 solution to Part B question paper, in which we were supposed to design a mop that will allow cleaning in nuke and corners of the home. 

For which, one possible exploded view could be 

Another example design (exploded view) that I did as part of My portfolio with tips and guide

Hope, you can now deal with exploded views easily. For more examples, just go through google images and type for any specific products exploded view say pens.

The corrugated cardboard in pizza boxes is itself recyclable, but like any paper product, cardboard is no longer recyclable once it is tarnished with grease or food.

Yes, tennis balls ARE recyclable. 

Incandescent bulbs can be thrown in the black trash bin, but fluorescent, compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) and light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs are considered household hazardous waste and must be taken to a Solvents, Automotive, Flammables and Electronics, or SAFE, center for disposal because they may contain mercury.

Both fluorescent and compact fluorescent (CFL) light bulbs use considerably less energy than incandescent and halogen bulbs. Since all types of fluorescent bulbs contain mercury, which is toxic, they are not fit for disposal in the garbage.
