With the Ceed 2023 exam day getting announced, the anxiety level among students is increasing and the need for a good exam strategy is necessary. Giving your exams without knowing the question pattern and solving any mocks can result in the paper not being completed on time and a wastage of the candidate’s time and effort. It’s always advised that the candidates know about the question paper beforehand.
The detailed structure of the Ceed paper pattern as per the official guidelines:
