Most Predictable Questions for UCEED 2026 Part-A

Important predictable questions for UCEED part A are provided below section wise for students to understand and prepare accordingly:

A) NAT (Numerical Aptitude Type) :

Ques : If the diameter of pulley E is twice that of pulley D. If the pulley A rotates eight times clockwise, how many times will pulley E rotate and in which direction ?

1. 20 times

2. 32 times

3. 12 times

4. 16 times

Solution: Option (D) 16 times, anticlockwise

B) MSQ (Multiple Select Questions):

Ques: Which of the following are correct about the "Sustainable Development Goals" (SDGs) set by the United Nations?

1. SDGs include 17 goals with 169 targets.

2. All SDGs are focused solely on environmental sustainability.

3. SDGs were adopted in 2015 with a deadline of 2030.

4. SDGs do not address economic inequality between nations.

Solution: Options (A & C)

A) SDGs include 17 goals with 169 targets.
C) SDGs were adopted in 2015 with a deadline of 2030.

Ques: Which of the following are properties of a square?

1. All sides are equal in length.

2. Opposite sides are parallel.

3. All angles are 90°.

4. Only two sides are equal.

Solution: Options (A, B & C)

A) All sides are equal in length.

B) Opposite sides are parallel.

C) All angles are 90°.

C) MCQ (Multiple Choice Questions):

Ques: How many lines are there in the image given below ?

1. 10 Line

2. 12 Lines

3. 14 Lines

4. 18 Lines

Solution: Option (D) 18 Lines

• First, ignore the overlapping or intersecting points—just focus on the distinct straight lines.
• If you scan from left to right, you can mark each unique line once.
• After careful counting, the total comes out to 18 distinct lines.

Ques: How many Triangles are there in the given figure as shown below ?

1. 10

2. 09

3. 12

4. 15

Solution: Option (D) 15

Upward-pointing triangles

• 1 very large outer ▲ (top apex).
• 1 inner small ▲ (inside, sharing the same sides).
• 2 medium ▲ with base on the central horizontal line (left half and right half).
• 2 medium ▲ formed between the slanted upper line and the sides of the big ▲ (left and right).
• 2 small ▲ near the left and right tips where the downward triangle cuts the big ▲.

Downward-pointing triangles

• 1 very large outer ▼ (bottom apex).
• 2 medium ▼ with base on the central horizontal line (left and right).
• 2 small ▼ just above the central line where the upper slanted line intersects.
• 2 small ▼ near the outer left/right where the big ▲ slices the big ▼.

Adding them up:
1+1+2+2+2+1+2+2+2 = 15

So, the figure contains 15 distinct triangles.

Ques: Based on the design and the working principle, which of the devices will take the least effort for cutting a wire.

1. 4

2. 3

3. 2

4. 1

Solution: Option (A) 4

• Cutting effort depends on the mechanical advantage (ratio of the length of the handles to the length of the jaws).
• The longer the handle compared to the short jaws, the less force is needed.
• Device 4 has long handles and short cutting edges, which gives it the maximum leverage.

Therefore, it requires the least effort to cut a wire.

Ques: The word given below uses a particular font, which of the options belongs to the same font ?

Solution: Option (B)

• Look closely at the parent word: it uses a stylized, calligraphic Bengali font with sharp angular edges and distinct ornamental curves.
• Among the options A, B, C, and D:
• A has a rounded style (does not match).
• B has the same sharp angular cut and ornamental stroke, consistent with the parent font.
• C and D are more simplified/rounded and lack the sharp calligraphic features.

Ques: Identify the logo of the government Institute ?

1. Indian Institute of Technology Delhi
2. Indian Institute of Technology Madras
3. Indian Institute of Management
4. National Institute of Design

Solution: Option (B)

The logo features a lamp with a lotus in the flame, symbolizing knowledge and enlightenment. This is the official emblem of IIT Madras, a premier government institute.
