AIEED 2025 Online Exam Concludes; Results Expected Soon for ARCH College Aspirants

The final phase of the All India Entrance Examination for Design (AIEED) 2025, a critical online screening test for admission to the ARCH College of Design & Business, concluded yesterday, August 5. This marks the end of a multi-phase examination process that spanned several months and drew thousands of aspirants seeking to secure a seat in the college's prestigious undergraduate and postgraduate design programs. Students who successfully appeared for the online examination are now eagerly awaiting their results, which are anticipated to be declared within a week, as per the college's historical timelines.

The AIEED exam, conducted by ARCH College, is the primary gateway for admission to its various B.Des, B.Voc, and Master’s level programs. The online format of the exam, which allows candidates to take the test from the comfort of their homes, has made it accessible to a wider pool of students from across the country. Following the conclusion of all examination stages, the ARCH College of Design & Business is expected to announce the AIEED 2025 results on its official website, aieed.com, likely between August 10 and August 12, 2025. Candidates will also be notified via their registered email addresses and mobile numbers.

The Three-Stage Admission Process

The AIEED exam is just the first stage of a comprehensive selection process. The complete admission procedure for the design programs at ARCH College is a three-stage affair designed to holistically assess a candidate's aptitude and suitability for a career in design.

• Stage 1: The AIEED Exam: This is the entrance examination itself, which consists of two parts: a General Aptitude Test (GAT) and a Creative Ability Test (CAT). The GAT evaluates a candidate’s general awareness, logical reasoning, and design sensibility, while the CAT assesses their creative problem-solving and articulation skills through various tasks.
• Stage 2: Personal Interaction and Portfolio Review: Candidates who successfully clear the AIEED exam will be shortlisted for a personal interaction (PI) and portfolio review. This stage, which is usually conducted online, is crucial. It gives the admissions committee a chance to understand the candidate's personality, interests, and depth of thinking. A well-prepared portfolio showcasing a diverse range of work—from sketches and paintings to photography and digital art—is highly recommended to demonstrate a candidate's passion and skills. The PI and portfolio review carry a significant weightage in the final merit list.
• Stage 3: Counselling and Final Admission: Based on the combined scores from the AIEED exam and the PI, a merit list will be prepared. Shortlisted candidates will then be invited to a counselling session, where they will be allocated seats based on their rank and program preferences.

Courses Offered at ARCH College

ARCH College of Design & Business, with its campuses in Jaipur and Delhi, offers a wide array of specialized design programs. At the undergraduate level, the college offers Bachelor of Design (B.Des) programs in specializations such as Fashion and Textile Design, Interior Design, Communication Design, Jewellery Design, and Product Design. It also offers B.Voc programs and international degree courses in partnership with Pearson BTEC. The postgraduate programs include Master of Design (M.Des) and Master of Vocational Studies (M.Voc) in various specializations. The diverse range of courses is a key reason for the high number of applicants for the AIEED exam.

For all the aspirants who have completed their exam, the coming days will be a period of anxious wait. However, with the exam now concluded, the focus should shift to preparing for the next crucial stage: the portfolio and personal interview. A strong performance in these subsequent stages is just as important as a good score in the AIEED exam for securing a coveted seat.
