When appearing for UCEED, aspirants must make sure they fulfil the eligibility criteria to avoid any problems in admission. As per the UCEED 2027 eligibility criteria, candidates appearing for Class 12 exams in 2027 can also apply. So, if you are still studying in Class 12 and have submitted the UCEED application form, then there are certain points to keep in mind to ensure you satisfy all the eligibility conditions. This article discusses the important eligibility requirements to be fulfilled by students still studying in class and aiming to obtain IIT BDes admission.
IIT Bombay will conduct UCEED 2027 on January 17, 2027. The UCEED entrance exam is the gateway to the BDes programme at IITs.
Given below are the important points to remember for candidates who are appearing for class 12 or equivalent exam in 2027 and have applied for UCEED 2027 -
All parts of the final examination must be completed by the date of application for
Admission (i.e. the counselling process). However, in cases where the qualifying examination is expected to be held after the date of application for admission, candidates should get in touch with the UCEED office via email at uceed@iitb.ac.in.
Selected candidates must submit the proof of having passed the qualifying examination with required passing by September 30, 2027 to the admitting institute.
If a qualifying examination performance is represented in the form of grades instead of marks, without providing information on the passing grade on the grade sheet, the candidate must obtain a certificate from the Board specifying the passing grade and upload it along with the grade sheet. In case such a certificate is not provided, the decision taken by the UCI Committee will be final
The above mentioned requirements are applicable to all applicants including foreign
nationals.
Certain IITs require candidates to have opted for science or mathematics subjects in class 12 for admission into their BDes programme. However, science and mathematics in class 12 is not compulsory for IIT BDes admission at all IITs. The table below provides the subjects required in class 12 as per the admission criteria for various UCEED participating institutes.
Institute | Subject |
