Regarding the CEED 2025 exam day guidelines, here are some important points to keep in mind:

1. Candidates are advised to reach the exam center well before the scheduled time of the exam.

2. Only one examination hall will be allotted to each candidate, and the candidate must present the admit card and a valid ID proof at the entrance of the exam hall.

3. No electronic devices, including mobile phones, calculators, and smartwatches, will be allowed inside the exam hall.

4. Candidates are not allowed to bring any materials or documents, other than the admit card and photo ID, into the exam hall.

5. The exam will be conducted in English, and candidates must answer the questions in English only.

6. Candidates will not be allowed to leave the exam hall before the scheduled time, and any form of communication with the outside world will be considered a violation of the rules.

7. Candidates are advised to take their seats before the start of the exam, and to follow all the instructions given by the invigilators.

8. The exam will be conducted in two parts - Part A and Part B. Candidates must qualify Part A, or else their Part B answer booklets will not be evaluated.

9. The exam pattern for Part A is computer-based, and the exam pattern for Part B is offline-based.

The candidate is not allowed to carry any electronic gadgets inside the exam hall. Here is a list of items that you must not bring to the exam hall.

• mobile phones

• Calculators

• smart or digital watches, etc.

Any candidate found in possession of these items will be disqualified. 

The seating arrangement for CEED 2025 will be likely be displayed on the notice board of the examination centre. So, when you arrive at the exam centre, look for the notice board and check the room number allocated against your roll number.

If you are not able to find the sitting arrangement or the room allocated to you, contact the security or exam officials present there.

Further, it is recommended that the candidate arrives at the exam centre as per the reporting time (7 am). Because, getting late can only build anxiety and stress, which is not conducive when appearing in an entrance exam like CEED 2025.
