CEED - While @ Exam

What's tested in CEED from the aspirants

This is what is tested in CEED, just a guideline not a bible or exam paper format. As you would see there is no definite answer for any of these questions it in addition to solution following does equally matter

What matters
1. Impression - overall impression (assume your paper like a business presentation asking 1 million dollar so you need to create best impression possible)
2. Presentation (avoid shabby paper work)
3. Structure of information
4. Though process – how did you come to it…
5. Any innovative way of presenting your paper
6. Consistency
7. Highlighting the USPs in your solutions
8. Creativity in answers and presentation - Remember pictures talk more but if you are not a good drawing expert better write in some creative way!..
9. Ability to think out of the box – Avoid general answers… the questions here are asked to get how your mind can think out of the box than the average person’s thinking. Thumb rule could be – if 2 of your friends can think the same about something it may not fly… but in some cases you may want to think what people think so better be cautious or awake answering them…

Some areas which typically tested are -
• Observation Skills
o How many circular objects can you think
o Make/draw objects from triangles
o For any public place photo you will be asked what will you be thinking if you go here as 10 yr kid, 20yr youth, 40 yr adult or say aged person

• Design capabilities
o Design a torch for kids
o Design the alarm bell be used for public places

• Quick thinking
o Solve many problems in bulk… as time is important for CEED tests, you need to think quickly and creatively faster while solving the paper…

• Problem solving

• Resource utilization
