Hello Shashi,
Both UCEED and NID exams are of equal importance. NID is the institute of design where you get to learn more of designing or management as per your course. UCEED helps to get in any of the IIT. Where you have the opportunity to study not only design, but related technology as well. The courses at IIT are not all which you can find at NIFT or NID. Like, animation and film design, automobile and vehicle design, Visual communication etc. Are the limited course at IIT. -
Hi Shashi, Both are important exams for pursuing a career in design. You should give both the exams. NID exam will only get you admission in NID institute, while UCEED gives you a chance to get admission in IITs along with other colleges listed on this page
