CEED 2027 Exam Date and Schedule

CEED Registration Dates and Late Fee

The regular registration window runs from 1 to 31 October 2026. Late registration runs from 1 to 6 November and closes at 5 pm on the final day. The extra INR 500 applies to every applicant group.

These amounts exclude bank service and processing charges. Payment is available through UPI, credit card, debit card and net banking. The registration fee is non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another candidate.

Candidates in their final year can apply if they will appear for the final examination of the eligible degree or diploma by July 2027. They upload the prescribed certificate from their Principal or Head of Department. The July qualification condition does not extend the November registration deadline.

OBC-NCL and EWS certificates for this examination must be issued on or after 1 April 2026. Select three exam cities before submitting the form; requests to change the city after submission are not accepted.

CEED Admit Card and Correction Deadline

Admit card downloads start on 1 January 2027 at 1 pm and remain available until the examination. The allotted venue appears on the card. Carry a clear printout with an accepted original photo ID on exam day.

The deadline to report admit card discrepancies is 8 January 2027 at 5 pm. This correction window is for errors on the card, not a fresh opportunity to choose another exam city or centre.

CEED Exam-Day Timing

The examination is on Sunday, 17 January 2027. Reporting starts at 7 am for identity and biometric checks. Entry after the 9 am start is not allowed.

Part A is answered on the computer. Part B questions appear on the screen, but answers are written or drawn in the booklet supplied at the centre. Each part has a fixed time limit; finishing Part A early does not give extra time for Part B.

The CEED 2026 question paper provides drawing and design tasks for timed practice. Use the 2027 timing above when planning the two parts.

CEED Answer Key and Response Deadlines

The draft Part-A key and candidate responses are scheduled for 19 January 2027. Submit comments through the candidate portal by 21 January at 5 pm. The final key follows on 26 January at 5 pm.

Use the question numbers in the Master Question Paper when submitting a comment. The order shown during your examination may differ, so matching only the position on your response sheet can identify the wrong question.

Part-A response downloads close when the result is declared on 3 March. This is earlier than the scorecard download deadline. Part B is assessed through its design, drawing and writing responses; it has no fixed model answer key.

CEED Result, Scorecard and Admission Dates

The CEED 2027 result date is 3 March 2027. Part-A marks are displayed for all candidates who appeared. Part-B marks and ranks are available for candidates shortlisted through Part A.

Scorecards can be downloaded from 10 March to 31 July 2027. The score is valid for one year from the result declaration date, not from the day you download it. No physical scorecard is sent.

MDes and PhD admission applications are handled by the individual institutes. Their application dates, tests and interviews are separate from the CEED examination calendar. A candidate must meet the chosen programme's requirements as well as its CEED-score condition.
