Some questions of the aspirants
The situation is not conducive for me to prepare or concentrate. Am I lagging behind?
The motive of starting the study plan is to help students come out of this negative and stressful
environment created around design exam preparation. We at Kaphal Studio are here for your
preparation.
Should I make notes or jot down something while going through these links?
Well, ideally yes! These are just website links. Please filter the content as you read it. This will help
you gain knowledge.
I am not able to solve UCEED/CEED papers, and I have not joined any coaching. What
should I do?
First of all, nobody needs to join any coaching institute to solve PYQs. Coaching classes are not
needed to crack design exams. Some people have solved previous year CEED/UCEED questions
on YouTube and various platforms. You can even connect with people on our open Telegram
group to get help.
I am not able to get mastery over drawing section. It seems difficult to achieve.
Drawing/sketching is a skill. And it can be acquired only through practice. Please do not expect it
to improve overnight. It will take time and effort. Just keep practicing. You have a lot of time right
now.

Continued…
Having said that, a student should spend majority of time attempting previous year questions
and practicing drawing section. And, only after that, can go for theory topics.
But the number of hours cannot be decided by anyone. This is your discretion.
So, starting preparation from class 12th that’s enough to crack the exam.
1. After these intense 12 weeks, you’ll have time before the exam. That is enough to practice and
achieve the required level.
2. At this stage, continue with your practice, do not focus on mastery (it takes time and practice).
But, right now focus on concepts and how questions are asked in the exam? What is the
required level? How much time you’ll have to devote?

If you are sure about your stream at this stage, you can work on some concept also.
Shall I quit job for preparing for the design exams? Is it manageable with job?
Design entrance exam is all about testing your creative thinking, presence of mind and some
handling skills. Do not compare this creative test to other exams (govt. job or boards exam).
The fact is, right orientation of mind, some PYQ practice and drawing practice is enough to crack
the exam.
So, quit or not to quit is an individual’s choice. But, we think, your present job has got nothing to
do with the preparation.
