📋 Last-minute checklist

UCEED — last-minute checklist

Built from the Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design (UCEED) records on our exam tracker. Every date carries its source tier: official (the conducting body's own site), reported (a secondary source — verify it) or expected (a typical-cycle estimate, not an announcement). Your admit card and the official notice always win.

🎯 Exam day

Next exam day: 17 Jan 2027 (official) — 125 days to go. Official notice ↗

Tracker row: UCEED 2027 Exam

  • 🕘 Timings / reporting, tracker row for 17 Jan 2027 (official): Sunday, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (forenoon); Part A (CBT) + Part B (pen-and-paper)

🎒 What to carry

  • Admit card (hall ticket / call letter), printed — the instructions printed on it override anything on this page
  • Original photo ID with the same name as your admit card (Aadhaar, PAN, voter ID, passport or driving licence — your admit card lists which it accepts); a photocopy alone is not enough
  • Leave your phone, smartwatch, earphones and other electronic gadgets at home or outside — they are not allowed in the exam hall, and do not count on a cloakroom at the centre
  • Reporting time and gate-closing time are printed on your admit card — late entry is refused, so plan to reach well before
  • If your admit card has a self-declaration / undertaking page, fill it in and paste your photograph before you reach the centre — check your admit card
  • Passport-size photographs, if your admit card asks for them — use the same photo you uploaded in the application
  • Pen and rough sheet: computer-based tests generally provide them at the centre — carry your own only if your admit card says so
  • Transparent water bottle, sanitiser or a simple wrist watch: allowed at some exams and banned at others — check your admit card before you pack
  • Using a scribe or compensatory time? Carry the certificate and the scribe's own photo ID in the format your admit card or notice asks for

✅ true of every exam hall · 🔎 varies by exam — check your admit card or notice. The night before: no new topics, and sleep.
