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 the first stop, not the last. We pull together scattered official data so you can understand what each exam asks, which scores open which colleges, and which path fits your design goals. No upsell. No email drip. No phone calls.
What ShapeVerse covers
Six things, done properly.
Official exam data
Dates, eligibility, syllabus, and seat matrix taken directly from IIT Bombay, NTA, NID, and the Council of Architecture. No paraphrasing from third parties.
Past papers archive
Previous year question papers for UCEED, NIFT, and NID with answer keys. Real papers are the best practice material.
Cutoff data
Institute-wise opening and closing ranks, category breakdowns, and year-on-year figures from 2019 onwards.
College directory
NID, NIFT, IIT design departments, and top private design colleges, with NIRF rankings, NAAC grades, fee structures, and placement data.
Course guides
Plain-language guides to B.Des, M.Des, and B.Arch: eligibility, fees, career paths, and which exam opens which door.
Free mock tests
Timed mock exams modelled on the real UCEED pattern. No login needed to attempt one. Full score analysis when you create an account.
How we source data
We follow a four-tier sourcing hierarchy. T1 (official) sources always take priority. 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 built by EDU SolPro, a university branding and admissions marketing agency based in India. We work with design colleges, engineering institutes, and liberal arts universities on digital presence and student recruitment.
We built ShapeVerse because we saw the problem up close: students and parents hunting for accurate design exam data across dozens of fragmented sites, most of them coaching centre landing pages. ShapeVerse puts everything in one place, for free.
We are a small team of designers, developers, and education professionals. ShapeVerse is funded by advertising, not by selling your data or forwarding your contact details to colleges without your consent.
Partner with ShapeVerse
Are you a design college looking to reach students who are actively preparing, not just browsing? ShapeVerse connects you with them. We do not work with coaching centres.
