Yes, CEED is one of the accepting exams for admission to MDes programme at School of Design, MIT WPU. However, it is not mandatory to pass CEED. Aspirants can also appear for MIT WPU CET for admission to the course. Aspirants applying for BDes do not require qualifying CEED.

• Unlimited Attempts: Candidates can sit for the CEED exam as many times as they wish, with no restriction on the number of attempts.

Yes, but only in Part A.

• In Part A (the computer-based section), some questions have negative marking.

• Typically, Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) in Part A carry negative marks for wrong answers.

• However, Numerical Answer Type (NAT) and Multiple Select Questions (MSQ) usually do not have negative marking (depending on the instructions for that year's exam).

Part B, which tests sketching, creativity, and design skills, has no negative marking because it is evaluated manually based on quality and creativity.
