Free UCEED Part B Mock Test 2027

Many UCEED students take mock after mock for Part A. Part B gets practised alone, at home, with nobody to tell you what's wrong.

That's a problem. Part B is worth 100 of UCEED's 300 marks, and it is the first thing used to break a tie. So this week you can take a free UCEED Part B mock test: the Part B sectional of AIDMT, the All India Design Mock Test. Same format as the real Part B, same one-hour limit, and your sheets checked by mentors who have cracked these exams themselves. It's open now, until 11 November.

The AIDMT free sectional in 5 points

• What: the AIDMT Part B sectional is a free UCEED Part B mock test by Divergent Classes

Why Part B decides your UCEED rank

Three rules in the official brochure make Part B matter more than its 100 marks suggest.

1. Part A decides if Part B is even checked. Part B is marked only for students whose Part A score clears a cut-off (the average Part A score plus half the standard deviation, for OPEN candidates). If more than 6,400 students clear it, only the top 6,400 by Part A are checked (section 17.4).
2. Part B has its own minimum. To get a rank, you need at least 15 out of 100 in Part B as an OPEN candidate, 13.5 for OBC-NCL and EWS, and 7.5 for SC, ST and PwD (section 17.6).
3. Part B breaks ties first. If two students have the same total, the one with more Part B marks gets the higher rank (section 19.3).

So Part A gets you in the door. Part B decides where you stand once you're inside. For Part A's pattern and negative marking, see our AIDMT 2027 guide.

How to sit the free sectional like the real exam

Feedback is one of the strongest drivers of learning, especially when it tells you exactly what to change next (Hattie and Timperley, 2007). But it only helps if your sheet shows how you really draw under pressure. So treat the sectional as exam day:

1. Sit it in one go, with a clock in view. No breaks, no pausing.
2. Spend the first 3 to 5 minutes planning. Read both questions, then sketch tiny thumbnails before you commit.
3. Split your time roughly in half. Both questions carry 50 marks, so don't spend 45 minutes on the one you like.
4. Draw on paper, not a tablet. The real Part B is answered in a paper booklet.
5. Finish both answers, even if the second is rougher. A blank answer scores zero.
6. Stop when the hour is up. Extra minutes make your mock look better than your exam will.

Then take a photo of each sheet, or upload an image of it, and submit.

What mentors check in your drawing

In the AIDMT sectional, Divergent mentors from IIT Bombay and NID Ahmedabad, who have cracked these exams themselves, mark your drawing on four criteria, each out of 10:

You also get written feedback on every answer, such as "the horizon drifts off the vanishing point" or "add a cast shadow to ground the object". On 14 November, mentors go through the sectional questions with everyone in a live review.

Note: AIDMT is an independent mock by Divergent Classes. It is not run by, or linked to, IIT Bombay, and its marks are not an official UCEED result.

Turn your feedback into marks: the 48-hour re-sketch

Within two days of getting your sheet back:

1. Pick one fix, the one that cost you the most marks. Not five.
2. Re-draw the same question with only that fix in mind, in 30 minutes.
3. Put both versions side by side. If the fix shows, move to the next one. If not, repeat it on a new question.

One fix a week from now until mid-January adds up to about ten fixes before UCEED on 17 January 2027.

Common Part B mistakes

• Spending too long on the first question. The second then gets 10 rushed minutes.
• Decorating instead of answering. Read what the question asks you to show, and show that first.
• No light source. Shading that changes direction makes a good drawing look wrong.
• Only practising what you're good at. If you avoid human figures, that is exactly what to practise next.
