Hello Shibani,

CEED is an abbreviation for Common Entrance Examination for Design, which is administered by IIT Bombay for admission to M.Des (Master of Design) programmes at IIT Bombay, IISc Bangalore, IIT Delhi, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Guwahati, and IIT Kanpur, as well as Ph.D courses in Design at a few institutes.

The NIFT entrance exam is administered by the National Institute of Fashion and Technology for admission to its several design programmes.

The CEED exam is for admission to master's or doctoral degrees, but the NIFT exam is for both undergraduate and postgraduate studies.

If you are an undergraduate, you must prepare for NIFT, and if you want to pursue a master's degree, you must try to pass both tests so that you have a choice.

As for exam pattern,

Both exams have a slightly varied exam pattern.

The CEED examination (conducted by IIT, Bombay) is divided into two sections: A and B. Section A will have 41 questions, while Section B will have 5 questions ( 20 marks each question). Both sections will be worth 100 points each. Part A will be computer-based, whereas Part B will be pen-and-paper-based.

Part A will serve as a screening test, and those who pass it will be evaluated for Part B.

And for NIFT, the GAT paper for B.Des will comprise of 100 questions, for a total of 100 marks. And the number of questions for B.F.Tech will be 150. The exam is paper-based and takes place offline.

Despite the fact that the syllabus for both exams is very similar (CEED And NIFT)

So you can surely give both the exams same time

Hope that helps you

All the best
