Hello,

Yes, you can give the CEED exam in 2026 even if you complete your graduation in July 2025. Here’s how it works:

• Eligibility Duration : CEED eligibility often allows candidates with a graduation degree to apply within a few years of completion. Since you are graduating in 2025, you’ll meet the educational requirements for the 2026 exam.

• Exam Gap : Taking a gap year between graduation and the CEED exam is generally acceptable. The exam does not mandate that you take it immediately after graduation.

• Preparation Time : By waiting until 2026, you’ll have more time to prepare your portfolio and practice the required design skills, which can strengthen your application.

• Application Process : Ensure you keep track of registration dates for CEED 2026 and have the necessary documentation from your graduation on hand.

Hello,

It seems you're concerned about the eligibility timeline for CEED since you won't be taking the exam in 2025 and your graduation will conclude in July 2025.

To clarify, CEED eligibility criteria typically require candidates to have a degree or be appearing in the final year of their degree program. Since you'll complete your graduation in July 2025, you'll be eligible to appear for CEED in 2026 or later.

Hope this helps

Actually You'll be eligible for both years CEED 2025 & CEED 2026.

You can give CEED 2025 because during that time you'll be in your last year of graduation and you're eligible to give CEED EXAM while you're in your final year of graduation.

BUT remember one thing that if you are applying in 2026 you will be eligible for year 2027 session which will be loss of your one precious year so be careful and decide what you want.
