The exam officials will not release any draft answer key for the UID DAT 2025 exam.

However, if it does release the answer key, the details will be updated here. The direct link to download the answer key will also be given on this page.

The draft will contain the answer key code for each question. Using these keys, the candidate can calculate the probable score.

Candidates will be offered admission to design courses at the United Institute of Design through the UID Aptitude Test.

The UID entrance exam scores will be used to shortlist candidates for a counseling round.

The allotment of seats to the design courses will be based on UID DAT 2025 merit.

As part of the counseling round for admissions candidates need to take part in an orientation to understand what to expect in courses offered at the design school. Thereafter, candidates need to submit their course fees and important documents for admission.
