SILICA Expert Notes:
- Candidates equal to about 10 times the number of seats available obtain ranks in the UCEED exam.
- Obtaining a rank in UCEED 2020 does not guarantee admission to the B. Des program. Only top 200 ranks or so obtain admission in IITs.
- However, UCEED score is considered for admission by several other Design Institutes for admission.
Part-A of the examination is a computer based test, there is no scope for review, re-grading or re-totalling of the Part-A marks of the examination paper. UCEED 2020 Question Paper and Draft Answer Key (Part-A) will be released on the UCEED website on January 25, 2020. Candidates can check the draft answer key and compare their answers to know the correct answers. Any discrepancy/comment must be addressed to uceed@iitb.ac.in, on or before January 31, 2020. Candidates have to mention "Comments on Answer Keys" in the subject of the mail.
The evaluation of Part-B will be done manually by two evaluators independently. If the difference in marks is less than 20%, then a simple average of the marks will be considered. If the difference in marks is greater than 20%, then the paper will be evaluated by a third evaluator. A simple average of the closest of 2 evaluators will be selected as the final marks. There is no scope for re-evaluation of the Part B of UCEED exam.
UCEED 2021 exam will be conducted on 17 January 2021. From 2015 to 2020, the comparison of the weightage of different topics in Part A of the exam is as follows:
