India's free design exam portal.
No spam. No fluff. Just the facts.
Every year, over 60,000 students appear for design entrance exams across India. Most of them spend hours hunting for accurate data across dozens of fragmented sources. ShapeVerse was built to fix that.
Our Mission
Give every design aspirant in India access to accurate, official exam information - whether they're in a metro with access to top coaching, or in a small town with nothing but an internet connection.
ShapeVerse is designed to be the first stop, not the last. We centralise the scattered official data so you can understand what each exam asks, what scores open which colleges, and which path suits your design ambitions. No upsell. No email drip. No phone calls. Just information.
What ShapeVerse Covers
Six things, done properly.

How We Source Data
We follow a strict four-tier sourcing hierarchy. T1 sources always win. Community data is never published without independent verification.
| Tier | Sources | How We Use It |
|---|---|---|
| T1 - Official | uceed.iitb.ac.in, nift.ac.in, nid.edu, admissions.nata.in | All exam dates, eligibility, syllabus, seat matrix, official cutoffs |
| T2 - Government | education.gov.in, ugc.ac.in, aicte-india.org, nirfindia.org | NIRF rankings, NAAC grades, AICTE approvals, UGC recognition |
| T3 - Aggregator | Third-party college aggregator portals | Cross-reference only. Never published without T1/T2 verification. |
| T4 - Community | Student forums, video platforms, online discussion communities | Context and student experience. Never published as fact without verification. |
Who Built ShapeVerse
ShapeVerse is a product of EDU SolPro, a university branding and admissions marketing agency based in India. We work with design colleges, engineering institutes, and liberal arts universities to help them reach the right students.
We built ShapeVerse because we saw the problem firsthand: students and parents struggling to find reliable, centralised design exam information. Too many coaching centres. Too many paid portals. Too little clarity. ShapeVerse is our way of giving back to the community we serve.
We are a small team of designers, developers, and education professionals. We believe quality information should be free. ShapeVerse is funded by advertising - not by selling your data or your contact details to colleges without your explicit consent.
Partner with ShapeVerse
Are you a design college looking to reach qualified, intent-verified students? ShapeVerse connects you with aspirants who are actively preparing - not just browsing.
