UCEED 2019 Question Paper with Answer

Here we will look back at the history and decide our preparation for the future of UCEED 2025.

Evolving Trends in UCEED Exam Assessment Methodology from 2019 to 2024?

One most significant observations made in the past 05 years is that the exam conducting body has evolved the scrutiny process for the UCEED exam is raise efficiency by curtailing the redundancy of the questions asked rather now they are focusing on a more concise assessment of the design aptitude. The number of questions has been decreased by more than 10% shifting the weightage to the questions. The UCEED 2025 registrations has started from October 1st and the exam is scheduled for January 19, 2025.

The drawing base part, section B, is now focusing on analytical skills, i.e., not only good sketching but also the technical understanding of sketching skills to depict the idea.

E.g If you are asked to design a Computer mouse for elderly people?

One needs to identify and depict the following requirements:

1. Purpose: What the proposed solution should offer, ergonomics or form, or both?

2. Presentation: This is a challenging part where one needs to have an understanding of the Exploded view(Product Detailing) and human-product interaction to be

Before diving into the Section-wise analysis first, let's have an overview of the question paper. As per the analysis, the 2019 UCEED question paper has more than 50% easy questions, around 30% moderate and less than 15% difficult questions which brings us to the conclusion that overall the exam easy easy to mode

Section-Wise Analysis of UCEED Question Paper 2019

For Part-A: Which consisted of three sections.

1. NAT (Numerical Aptitude Test):

Overall the section was balanced for difficult to moderate. However, this again becomes subjective, a candidate with a good understanding of the fundamentals of topics like Geometry, Permutation & Combination, and Statistics would find the questions easy and doable in a single attempt. But this doesn't mean all the questions asked in 2019 were formula-based most of them rather could easily be attempted with logic and for sure the very fundamental understanding of basic geometric constructions. Let us try to understand this through a question from UCEED 2019, where first we need to identify the underlying geometric shapes that make the whole composition and later work on simple area calculation.

Here are a few example questions from the UCEED 2019 question paper such as:

1. Question No. 19

Process to attempt the solution: To approach this question one should be able to fragment the composition into simpler shapes and then visualize the possible overlaps and approach the question for solution.

Fragment Simplifying the Compositions

One needs to know the mathematical formulas to calculate the Area of a square, circle semi-circle, etc. that combine to make the shape. Also the understanding of negative and positive space to visualize the underlying shapes.

2. Question 12 - It is more logical than Numerical Aptitude.

Process to attempt the solution - Solving NAT Questions Using Logic

One needs to have a logical understanding of hinges and movements in constrain, but also an understanding of geometrical mathematics, if both the questions are easy else may seem difficult at first glance.

150i✔6 s 150*2.44 = 366 approx.

> Power of Clue: The first logical question is whether the length would increase or decrease (increase in this case)

> The final answer would be greater than 36

2. MSQ: Multiple Select Questions

MSQ(Multiple Select Questions) part in the UCEED examination is one of the most scoring sections, which comes with a risk of negative marking for each wrong choice. The questions asked mostly were easy and needed primarily the Observation and Design Sensitivity in a candidate. This section was a combination of Verbal(Q-28) and Non-Verbal reasoning(Q- 23,24 etc.), Data Interpretation & General Awareness.

Awareness-based questions from every day are comparatively easy and scoring.

For Example, Q- 33, wants to identify the birds around us in daily life, one needs to be observant of surroundings.

3. MCQ: Multiple Select Questions

Note: This area is good to score but also becomes equally risky for a negative marking of 1.32 marks for every wrong choice made.

A Good Approach: “With Thorns comes Roses”, this may sound crazy, but true for this section.

This means the given options in the MSQ section, Looking the Options Given are always a good starting point.

*This helps eliminate the wrong choices, exposing the correct options before the candidate.

Overall this section was easy for 2019, only the catch was accuracy with speed. Since MCQ contains more than 50% of all the questions in Section A, the level of questions was kept easy.

The questions asked were mostly Pictorial Based, but any careless decision or overconfidence by looking at the question at one glance can award a negative score, taking your overall score and ranking down during the final merit.

This section is very unique in the sense it evaluates not only the aptitude skills of an aspirant but demands an understanding of the following topics:

1. Art & Culture

2. Material and Manufacturing Process

3. Visual and Spatial Ability

4. Movement of Humans & Animals

All the above topics could be easily understood from everyday life but at the same time, one needs to have an understanding of fundamentals from all walks of life.

For Example. 48 (Good Example of Human Run Cycle)

One needs to be aware of the motion of limbs to balance a human body while walking or running. It is a common observation that the upper and lower limbs of the side are in opposite directions while walking.

This concept only helps eliminate the wrong options out of all the given options, thus revealing the right option.

Overall the level of the 2019 UCEED question paper was easy to moderate. With consistent efforts, practice, and observations one has a good chance of selection for a question paper like this.

All the best!
