What is CEED?

Gateway to Top Design Institutions

It's the primary entrance exam for M.Des. and PhD programs in design at the highly esteemed IITs and IISc, which are among the best technical and research institutions in India. A good CEED score can open doors to these coveted programs.

Assessment of Design Aptitude

Unlike general aptitude tests, CEED is specifically designed to evaluate your innate design abilities, creative thinking, problem-solving skills, and aesthetic sense. It checks if you have the fundamental aptitude required for advanced design studies.

CEED stands for the Common Entrance Examination for Design. It's a national-level entrance exam conducted annually by the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) on behalf of the National Co-ordination Committee of the Ministry of Education, Government of India. It's primarily for admission to Master of Design (M.Des.) and PhD in Design programs at various participating IITs (like IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Kanpur, IISc Bangalore) and other prestigious design institutes across India that accept CEED scores. The exam assesses a candidate's aptitude for design, including their analytical and logical reasoning, visual perception, design aptitude, and general awareness.

Foundation for Specialization

M.Des. programs offer specializations in various design fields like Industrial Design, Communication Design, Interaction Design, Mobility Design, Animation, etc. CEED helps you get into these programs to build specialized expertise.

Interdisciplinary Learning

Design programs at IITs often offer an interdisciplinary environment, allowing students to collaborate with engineering, science, and management disciplines, which enriches their learning experience and broadens their perspective.

Career Advancement

A postgraduate degree in design from a top institution can significantly boost your career prospects, leading to roles as senior designers, design managers, design strategists, UX/UI designers, researchers, or even entrepreneurs in the design industry.
