    Section-Wise Analysis of UCEED Question Paper 2019

    For Part-A: Which consisted of three sections.

    1. NAT (Numerical Aptitude Test):

    1a

    Difficulty Level

    The difficulty level was Moderate to Easy

    1b

    Ideal Time

    40-50 minutes

    1c

    Good Attempt

    14-15 questions

    1d

    Focus Areas

    Geometric Shapes, Knowledge of Formulas, and Visualization skills to break the question into strategies.

    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

    1712504139354

    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.

    1712503691692

    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.

    1712503692689

    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

    2a

    Difficulty Level

    The difficulty level was Moderate

    2b

    Ideal Time

    30-40 minutes

    2c

    Good Attempt

    13-14 questions

    2d

    Focus Areas

    Visualization and Spatial Ability + Observation and Design Sensitivity

    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.

    1712645068712

    3. MCQ: Multiple Select Questions

    3a

    Difficulty Level

    The difficulty level was Easy

    3b

    Ideal Time

    30-40 minutes

    3c

    Good Attempt

    35-40 questions

    3d

    Focus Areas

    Observation and Design Sensitivity, Experimental,

    Everyday Life activities(Playing with Torchlight)

    Visualization and Spatial Ability + Observation and Design Sensitivity

    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 at 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

    ITM Institute of Design and Media Admissions 2026

    Faculty from A+ Design schools of India and Abroad | 100% Placement Assistance

    IIAD Admissions 2026

    Leading Design College | Highest CTC: ₹12 LPA | Average CTC: ₹7.5 LPA | Scholarships for Deserving Students

    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.

    1712504139480

    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.

    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.
