  • CEPT admission is not a books-and-syllabus style exam to 'prepare' for in the conventional sense — it is a holistic, portfolio-and-interview-weighted selection process
  • For Bachelor programmes, CEPT's published Stage I weightage is: Portfolio 50%, Statement of Purpose (SOP) 15%, Letters of Recommendation 15%, CV/extracurriculars 5%, Work experience 5%, and marks in the last qualifying examination 10%
  • Shortlisted candidates then proceed to Stage II, weighted as a written/design test (Part A) 60% and Personal Interview (Part B) 40%
  • Given this structure, candidates are better served building a strong, original design portfolio, a clear and honest SOP, and practicing general design-aptitude/observation-and-reasoning exercises rather than following a fixed book list — CEPT does not prescribe or recommend specific preparation books
