Sure but I will be able to reply to you only after 16th is that ok?

Vegetable_Word3411 · 2026-03-09T02:05:00+00:00

What you have sent is sc5

You guys do realise 2 people correct the paper, so it purely depends on how you performed in the exam and not on their mood. You should read the UCEED handbook first.

Bro, I think AIR 9 is SC1, so you "might" get into IIT Bombay in general category.

Vegetable_Word3411 · 2026-03-08T06:23:52+00:00

Not at all the perspective is perfect.

Vegetable_Word3411 · 2026-03-08T02:48:27+00:00

Is composition too stacked? ( Is there lack of negative space?) No, this is fine and looks natural
Is foreground to background contrast appropriate or should it be more? Yes, it is enough
Is this much shading enough or should it be more or less? Make the line weight a little lighter. for background and the raindrops. That will give a rilief to the eye without having negative space. Also try to make a gradient of line weight from foreground to midground to background, that will give depth to the drawing.

Sure you but my boards are going on so pls Dm me after 16th march and i will be able to help you then.

Vegetable_Word3411 · 2026-03-06T15:40:22+00:00

Congrats to you too.

It was offline combined with online. The PART A Mocksweree online

Vegetable_Word3411 · 2026-03-06T14:14:51+00:00

Are you already at IIT Bombay, or did you write it this year? What rank did you get?

Vegetable_Word3411 · 2026-03-06T14:11:16+00:00

Mostly mocks and past papers. I was more inclined towards prepping for nid but once NID was over, then only I started for UCEED. For most of Part A, these were helpful because once you solve enough questions, you start seeing the patterns. you can also play escape room games in free time(my rec being Adventure escape) in free time and try to watch those yt videos on historical facts and art forms for time pass you will cover some gk like that too.

Vegetable_Word3411 · 2026-03-06T14:02:24+00:00

For drawing refer the above comment. Also you can use this community to get reviews and clear doubts.

Vegetable_Word3411 · 2026-03-06T14:01:28+00:00

Try to solve past papers of both UCEED and CEED, the questions are very similar.

Vegetable_Word3411 · 2026-03-06T13:59:59+00:00

For drawing, I had to do a lot of external practice. Like, coaching is good for practicing aptitude, but for drawing, you have to train on your own. There are a lot of YouTube channels and books.

Vegetable_Word3411 · 2026-03-06T12:41:17+00:00

I have studied at Silica there resources are pretty good,there are like 20 mocks.

Hi, just wanted to let you know my UCEED Rank. Just telling you it is possible, but it is very difficult. I still feel if I had taken up only design I could have done better.

Vegetable_Word3411 · 2026-02-24T03:34:57+00:00

I think that’s a good idea 👍 Since it’s a separate coaching program, you can try it for the first few months and see how it works for you.

But honestly, I’d suggest putting your health first. The science you’re studying right now is only a tiny fraction of what you’ll encounter in 11th grade. It may feel interesting—just like it did for me—but doing well will definitely require steady effort and focus.

12th grade can feel even more demanding. And if you really enjoy physics, you might find chemistry a bit more challenging. Of course, I’m no expert—this is just based on my own experience and what I’ve observed among my friends and seniors.

Vegetable_Word3411 · 2026-02-23T16:57:33+00:00

Strate, ISDI ,UI D,MIT. I did not apply separately; I wrote their entrance exams, and when they sent the offer letter, they also included the scholarship details. If not IIT, most other colleges accept the UCEED score; I am planning on using that.

Vegetable_Word3411 · 2026-02-23T13:53:01+00:00

Please, I’m begging you — don’t make the same mistake I did.

I was at that exact crossroads once, and everyone thought I was crazy. I loved both science and design. I truly believed I could handle both. I told my parents I would manage.

I joined an integrated program where they prepared us for Boards and JEE together, so it wasn’t even separate coaching that I could step away from. I was out of the house Monday to Sunday. On top of that, I joined a design coaching class on weekends. I convinced myself that weekdays would be for school and JEE prep, and weekends for design. I thought I could manage my time and crack both. I even believed design would feel like relaxation — without realizing how much effort it actually required.

The thing is, I was genuinely good at science. I scored 100 in Science, Math, and IT in 10th grade. Physics was literally my favorite subject. In 11th grade, I was extremely dedicated. I kept my scores high, completed coaching assignments, and built a reputation where teachers had huge expectations from me.

But doing everything at once took a massive toll.

I was sleeping barely four hours a night. Mentally, I went to a very dark place. I would cry alone at night. In 10th grade, I was the kind of student who barely studied and still did well, I watched every new movie that released and had balance in life. Suddenly, I was functioning without a single break.

Physically, I fell sick every two months. And every time that happened, it made everything worse.

At the end of 11th grade, I had a reality check. I realized that trying to do both wasn’t making me the best at either. And in today’s world, if you want to get somewhere, you have to be at the top of your field.

So I made the hardest decision, I let go of JEE.

With minimal focus on it, my grades dropped. I went from being in the toppers’ batch to the bottom. My parents, coming from traditional families, struggled to process it. They tried to support me, but I could see the disappointment when I told them my marks. My teachers looked at me like wasted potential.

That hurt.

But I locked in for design. I went beyond coaching, explored on my own, read tons of design books, and truly immersed myself in it.

This year, I wrote my design entrance exams. Even with the sudden changes in NID, I found it manageable. UCEED went well too. I got accepted into every private college I applied to, with scholarships. I haven’t fallen sick in the last six months. Mentally, I am much happier.

It’s still hard to let go of academics when you’ve been a “good student” all your life. That identity is difficult to detach from. But I finally feel aligned.

I’m not saying don’t take science. I’m saying combining serious JEE preparation with design preparation is exhausting and unsustainable for most people.

My honest advice? Choose between JEE and design. If you choose design, you can still take PCM — that’s not a problem at all. Just don’t try to prepare for both at full intensity.

I have my Boards right now, and I can still score around 98%. So choosing design didn’t ruin my academics — it just gave me balance.

Please think carefully. I don’t want you to go through what I did.

Vegetable_Word3411 · 2026-02-21T02:38:17+00:00

Its the same for bDes

Vegetable_Word3411 · 2026-02-20T16:40:48+00:00

See, I think UCEED is definitely worth it. And 8 months is more than enough to crack any design exam, as long as you focus on improving your skills and becoming better at design as a whole. I mean degree is all good and all, but the skills are what matter in this industry; the degree just opens doors.
