General Gyaan on selection Procedure?
Question - Sir,
I have done B.V.A.(B.F.A.) in applied arts and have applied for the VC course in IDC......I got CEED AIR 140.
What is my chance of getting a call for the further rounds from IDC??
Also can u pls tell me what do they see in a VC applicant??
How should i prepare for the further rounds...n what kind of portfolio should i have for the interview....i have done a little photography during my college and have made campaigns and also some illustrations......what all should i bring and how many sheets as the interview last 10-15 mins. as is written in the IDC site.
PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks
Answer
First of all as you are BFA you need to really stand out of at least many who pass every year and given it's a direct art course you better have best skills almost ranking in top 15/20 across India.
Secondly, you have to have a very good communication skills, as it's must many BFA lack on this.
Third on your portfolio - typically for VC they would look for your skills on themes, what you say is it really in there in your portfolio from idea, metaphors etc. MOre than how many what can you cover best may be top 5/6 works you can showcase but ensure you can showcase them well in about 10/15 mins. Try to cover different aspects in works like photogrpahy, sculptures, sketching, concept, abstracts etc. Do not bore the examiners with tonnes of work but just one type. In general typically interviews long for good candidates, so do not worry much about the interview time...
Also in general it's seen that if you are over confident or show you know everything under the world - you may even be asked "ehy you want to join design course? you knwo it all already?"
Another note for all - no of KGs of work does not matter, you may even see people before interiew showing work to all other students around, with huge portfolios etc. don't worry about it. I know even a candidate who just did 2 scupltures in soap got selected
Best of luck!

To carry to exam....
For the material
You can take with you
1. Colors - Try using pastels or pencil colors... water colors unless you can use them is not a good option
2. Cesors (imp- sometimes there are quetsion like if you cut a folded paper say on croner how ill the final thing look like on opening so it helps... but ideally i would recommend you should solve this mentally too...)
3. Different color sketch pens to highlight text or image borders n all...
4. Scales / stencils - circles, triangles etc....
5. Compass to draw circles (indeally any drawing tool....is allowed)
What is or may not be allowed - chitsheets, papers, symbol sheets, stickers, (air bursh ;-) ), etc....
Ideally you will not need calculators, logtables etc. too...
Remember: Time is the key! as the questions are open ended some time you may like a question and want to answer in too much detail which may not let you finish the paper.... answer based on the marks each question has... Also there are ticky quesitons... sometimes the question looks too simple but may carry lot of marks so assume that this question's answer may not be simple....(like I'd one simple question abt faces.... with some options to choose what's the the next face... and it has 8 marks.... atually the crucks there was they were mirror images than simply shape changes...)

Cancelled: Ceed Summit on 23-24-25th December @ Bangalore
Hi Readers!
Due to inadequate show up for the summit/session for 23-24-25th I could not conduct this session. Also there is a global IIT Alumni meet in Mumbai ( http://www.paniit2006.org/ ) where some of the speakers would like to go as it's business critical for some of us.
However for those who have shown the interest in the sessions I'm planning to send you the material sometime in next 2 weeks which will be collected for private circulation only, please do not circulate the same as it has got views from the speakers and is not a public information.
I'm really sorry to call this off for this year, next year it'll be planned better. Do feel free to send your questions and will be happy to answer them.

CEED training/councelling session in December in Bangalore
Hi Ceed Aspirants
I'm planning to conduct a concelling session than classes on CEED this year in december @ Bangalore. This session will be conducted by experienced people who qualified ceed and got passed out from IDC and IDDCs.
Mostly this will be a 3 day session where sr. people will share their views on not just ceed but what beyond that too.
As of now I've a confirmation from about 6 speakers from different yrs of batches which will help you know what have they been asked and what ere their answers which make them qualify. Again as my blog says there are no definite answers for design questions so there is plan to give you a guidance on what are some key points which you would worry about while answering the questions.
Moreover you will get a dedicated time from these people to ask questions in person during these sessions.
So i would like to see you all in bangalore in december. the tentative dates are 23, 24 and 25th December.
