All the best!

I have a 6 years of work experience and plan to appear for the CEED exam in Jan 2026. If I don't secure a top rank for admission to IIT's or other top CEED accepting colleges, will my work experience, portfolio and Coursera certificate still add weight to my profile during the admission?

Hello sir,

Thanks for reaching out!

Yes, you still have a good chance even with a mid CEED score, if the rest of your profile is strong. While the CEED score is important, most of the institutes use full selection process that includes your CEED score(Part A and B), Portfolio and often an interview or studio tests.Your 6 years of experience, strong portfolio and relevant coursera certificates can add significant value during admission in IITDM, Srishti etc which consider the overall profile not just the rank.

Applications for Admissions are open.
