Does AIEED still have a written GAT/CAT test?

This is genuinely unclear from current sources -- some describe a GAT (100 marks) + CAT (200 marks) written test, while more recent sources for the 2026 cycle describe the process as Statement of Purpose + Portfolio of Abilities + Interaction only, with the written test timeline having been removed from the official website. Confirm the current process directly with ARCH College before assuming either format.

Is there an official published syllabus for AIEED?

No official syllabus has been released; general areas assessed include Visual Ability, Design Awareness, and Comprehension.
