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.

Actually You'll be eligible for both years CEED 2025 & CEED 2026.
You can give CEED 2025 because during that time you'll be in your last year of graduation and you're eligible to give CEED EXAM while you're in your final year of graduation.
BUT remember one thing that if you are applying in 2026 you will be eligible for year 2027 session which will be loss of your one precious year so be careful and decide what you want.
sadafreen356 26 October,2024
Hello,
Maybe, because When it comes to eligibility for the CEED (Common Entrance Examination for Design), having backlogs in your undergraduate program may not necessarily disqualify you from appearing for the exam. However, it is important to note that each institute has its own specific eligibility criteria for admission to their MDes programs. Some institutes may consider backlogs as a factor during the admission process, while others may not.
Hope this helps you,
Thank you
