In entrance exams like UCEED (Undergraduate Common Entrance Exam for Design), NID (National Institute of Design), and CEED (Common Entrance Exam for Design), creative story writing questions serve as a crucial component to assess a candidate’s imaginative prowess and narrative skills. These questions prompt candidates to construct original stories within a limited timeframe, evaluating their ability to ideate, communicate, and present ideas coherently. The significance lies in identifying candidates who not only possess technical design skills but also demonstrate a flair for storytelling—a vital attribute in design professions. This multifaceted evaluation ensures that successful candidates possess a holistic skill set, combining technical expertise with the capacity to convey compelling narratives in the world of design.

Here are some example questions:-

Write an imaginary short story of a pet dog and its pet parent

Fido, a thrill-seeking pug, convinced his human to join a “Bark-and-Bite” improv class. During a scene, Fido stole the spotlight, barking Shakespearean sonnets. The audience loved it! Now, they tour as the dynamic duo, earning treats and belly rubs. Fido’s acting career? Paw-some!

Imagine dilogues of a car and its driver

Driver: (revving engine) Ready for an adventure, old pal?

Car: (engine purring) Born ready! Just don’t make me parallel park again. Last time, I felt like a contortionist.

Driver: Fair enough. Today, we conquer traffic!

Car: Traffic, the ultimate nemesis. I’ll honk menacingly.

Driver: (laughs) Remember the time we hit that pothole?

Car: (groans) Let’s not relive it. My suspension still has nightmares.

Driver: Well, buckle up, my four-wheeled friend. We’re about to turn mundane errands into an epic saga!

Car: (sarcastic) Oh joy, another trip to the grocery store. Hold onto your cupholders!
