UCEED, CEED 2025 Answer Key (Part A) on January 21; Know How to Raise Objection

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay is set to release the UCEED and CEED 2025 draft answer key for Part A on January 21, 2025. This announcement is a crucial update for candidates who appeared for these highly competitive design entrance exams on January 19, 2025.

The draft answer key will be available on the official websites of UCEED and CEED, allowing candidates to evaluate their performance and raise objections if necessary. Here’s everything you need to know about the answer key release, objection process, and next steps.

What is the UCEED and CEED Answer Key?

The Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design (UCEED) and Common Entrance Examination for Design (CEED) are conducted annually by IIT Bombay to assess candidates’ design aptitude for undergraduate and postgraduate programs, respectively.

The answer key for Part A, which is objective in nature, provides the correct answers to the questions asked in the exam.

Candidates can use the draft answer key to calculate their probable scores by comparing their responses with the official answers. This helps them estimate their performance before the final results are announced.

  2. Look for the link titled “Draft Answer Key – Part A.”
  3. Click on the link to open the PDF document.
  4. Download and save the answer key for future reference.

No login credentials are required to access the draft answer key. However, candidates must ensure they download it promptly as it will only be available until the final results are declared.

How to Raise Objections Against the Draft Answer Key?

Candidates who find discrepancies in the draft answer key can raise objections within the specified window from January 21 to January 23, 2025 (up to 5 PM). Here’s how:

  1. Log in to your candidate portal using your registered email ID and password.
  2. Navigate to the “Objections” section on the dashboard.
  3. Select the question(s) you wish to challenge and upload valid supporting documents or proof to justify your claim.
  4. Submit your objections before the deadline.

It’s important to note that objections submitted without proper documentation will not be considered by IIT Bombay. Once all objections are reviewed, a final answer key will be released on January 29, 2025, which cannot be challenged further.


Why is Part B Excluded from the Answer Key?

While Part A of both UCEED and CEED comprises objective questions with definitive answers, Part B evaluates candidates’ drawing and design skills through subjective questions. Since subjective responses vary significantly between individuals, no standard answer key is released for Part B.

What Happens After Objections Are Reviewed?

Once IIT Bombay reviews all objections submitted by candidates:

  • Any valid corrections will be incorporated into the final answer key.
  • The final answer key will be published on January 29, 2025, and no further challenges will be entertained after this date.
  • The final scores will be calculated based on this revised key.
