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.
