    Part A Shortlist Announcement

    February 04, 2027

    Authorities will select the top 6400 students who clear the Part A cutoff for the Part B evaluation process. The Part A shortlist will be released on a category-wise basis, with the minimum qualifying score for OBC-NCL/EWS candidates set at 0.9 times and for SC/ST/PwD candidates at 0.5 times the minimum qualifying score for the OPEN category. As per UCEED 2027, candidates who do not meet the Part A cutoff will not have their Part B paper evaluated.

    How Are the Part-A Cutoff Marks Calculated?

    For the UCEED Part A cutoff, authorities will follow the below-given calculation method to finalise the qualifying marks. The formula is:

    1791270851658

    Check the below-given points to understand the Part A calculation formula:

    • μ (mu): Average marks secured by all the candidates who appeared for the Part A paper.

    • σ (sigma): Standard deviation of the marks scored by all candidates

    • δ (delta): The calculated measure used for determining the Part-A qualifying score.

    In simpler words, the average Part A score is calculated in the first stage, and then twice the standard deviation is added to the average score to get the δ (delta) value. The values of μ, σ, and δ will be rounded off to two decimal places based on the candidate's category, as mentioned in the table below:
