UCeed 2023
The Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design (UCeed) is the gateway to the BDes programmes at IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad and IIITDM Jabalpur. This is the official UCeed 2023 Part A paper, reconstructed from the question paper released by IIT Bombay so you sit through the exact paper real candidates faced.
UCeed 2023 was a longer paper than the current format: 68 objective questions (18 NAT + 18 MSQ + 32 MCQ) with 150 minutes and 240 total marks. Take this test under timed conditions to see how you would have performed against the actual 2023 cut-off, and to build the visualisation and observation reflexes that UCeed rewards year after year.
