Admissions to the Bachelor of Design (BDes) programmes at IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Roorkee and IIITDM Jabalpur are done through the Undergraduate Common Entrance Exam for Design (UCEED). Many institutes also recognize the UCEED Score Card for admissions to their BDes program. Only those students who have passed Class XII (or equivalent) in 2023 in all subjects or are appearing in 2024 in ANY STREAM (Science, Commerce, or Arts & Humanities) for the first time are eligible to appear for the UCEED 2024. UCEED 2024 score is valid only for admission to the programmes in the academic year 2024-2025.
The BDes programme in IDC emphasises skill-based components in the fundamentals of design in the first two years. In the third year, the students have a choice of a large number of elective courses that provide an opportunity to specialize in the various areas of design that IDC is known for. The potential for design lies in solving real-world problems. A series of design projects (one in each semester), often enriched through field trips and real-world experiences, enables students to engage with design issues and develop an understanding of design methodology. In the last two semesters of the BDes programme, the students do semester-long degree projects that demonstrate the abilities that they have acquired.
UCEED is a test centre-based examination and has two parts: Part-A is computer-based and Part-B contains question related to sketching that needs to be attempted on the provided sheet. It is compulsory for the candidates to attempt both the parts in the given time.
The total time for the examination (that includes both Part-A and Part-B) is THREE hours.
