Hi there,Rule 1: Don't go for what is easy.
Rule 2: Prioritize your interest. About NIFT Entrance Exam it consists of 2 phases I. e. Phase 1 CAT & GAT) and Phase 2 (Situation Test).
Phase 1 carries 80% ratio in which 50% is for Creativity Aptitude Test CAT and 30%is for General Aptitude (GAT).
And, 20% for Phase 2 (Situation Test).
You need to clear the phase 1 to appear for phase 2.
NIFT Entrance is not tough, but you got to be creative and be yourself. -
CEED is for post-graduation while UCEED is for graduation. I am not sure which one are you talking about. In any case, CEED/UCEED give you a rank after a single test. But it releases only a small list. Also since it is held by IITs which are more technical in nature, it may not be easy to clear. NIFT on the other hand brings out a large list and waiting list. While seats in NIFT are limited, many of them (which are not in the top 5-6 centers) go unfilled and NIFT will go on exercising the waitlist till all the seats are filled. NIFT is however a 2 stage test which can put the twist in the tale. So yes, NIFT might be an option, slightly...more -
UCEED is easier to clear because of the availability of seats and colleges. NIFT has less seats to offer and hence it creates quite tough competition.
