Understanding UCEED Part A and Part B
The UCEED exam has two parts: Part A and Part B.
Part A: Objective Questions
Part A includes questions that are objective-type. This means they are multiple-choice, numerical answer type, or multiple-select questions. This part of the exam is taken on a computer. IIT Bombay releases an answer key only for Part A. This key helps students check the correct answers for all objective questions.
Part B: Design Questions
Part B of the UCEED exam is different. It usually involves drawing or design-based questions. Experts evaluate this part manually. Because of its nature, there is no official answer key provided for Part B. Students get scores based on how well they perform in the design tasks.
