Questions related to UCEED

Have a question related to UCEED ?

Currently, NSUT does not offer a B.Des. program. However, other institutes like IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, and IIITDM Jabalpur offer B.Des. through UCEED.

Expected UCEED Cutoffs (General Category):

IIT Bombay: Around Rank 14

IIT Delhi: Around Rank 35

IIITDM Jabalpur: Around Rank 165

Hello Saumya,

As of now, Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT) has not officially released the specific opening and closing UCEED ranks for B.Des admissions for candidates from outside the Delhi region. The available information primarily focuses on the selection process and seat allocation.

Selection Priorities for B.Des at NSUT:

  1. First Priority: Candidates who have cleared the UCEED exam conducted by IIT Bombay.

  2. Second Priority: Candidates with a rank in a national-level design entrance examination (or allied fields) for a four-year course at any centrally funded institute/university.

  3. Third Priority: Candidates with a rank in a state-level design entrance examination (or allied fields) for a four-year course at any state government-funded institute/university.

For Outside Delhi Region Candidates , 15% of the seats are allocated.

Given the limited availability of seats and the prioritization criteria, securing admission as an outside Delhi candidate is competitive. It's advisable to aim for a high UCEED rank to enhance your chances.

Recommendations:

  • Regularly Check Official Sources: Keep an eye on NSUT's official website and the UCEED portal for any updates on cutoff ranks and admission criteria.

  • Prepare Thoroughly for UCEED: Achieving a high score will significantly improve your prospects, especially given the competitive nature of the program.

  • Consider Backup Options: Explore other reputable design institutes that accept UCEED scores to broaden your opportunities.

Hello Kanak ,

For preparing any competitive exam , book list is the primary step for every candidate. Best books makes your journey easier to crack the exam efficiently.

Here is the link from where you can see the study material for this exam :

Revert for further query!!

Hello Tanishk,

Based on your score of 72 in Section A of UCEED 2025, and considering that you couldn't clear the overall cutoff, it's challenging to predict an exact rank. The UCEED rank is determined by the combined scores of Part A and Part B . For the Open category, a score above 135 is generally considered good . Since your score is below this threshold, it's likely that your rank would be lower, and admission to top design institutes might be challenging. However, exact rankings can vary each year based on the exam's difficulty and the performance of other candidates.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hello,

With an SC category rank of 321 in UCEED 2025 , your chances of securing admission to the B.Tech. in Computer Science and Design (CSD) program at IIIT Delhi are promising. So it is very likely that you will get admission to IIIT Delhi.

All the Best !
