The Common Entrance Examination for Design. commonly referred to as CEED, is the entrance exam conducted annually for design students and is one of the most important scores considered for admission in M.Des/PhD programmes across various prestigious institutions in India.

CEED Exam pattern
Roughly, the CEED exam can be divided into two parts – Part A and Part B.
Part A (Total marks: 150; Maximum time: 1 hour)
