Appearing for the UCEED entrance exam requires candidates to prepare for numerous subjects extensively. As a result, candidates need to be aware of how many marks are required in the UCEED exam to get into IIT. The final UCEED rank is determined based on marks in Part A and Part B entrance examination. The UCEED 2026 result has been declared on March 6, 2026. In this case, particularly, we will be verifying, is 75 a good score in UCEED for candidates to seek admissions at the IITs. IIT Bombay conducted UCEED 2026 on January 18, 2026. Here, you can see if a score of 75 in UCEED is enough to get into IIT.
Considering does MIT accept UCEED scores, will also give clarity on whether candidates can apply for institutions other than IITs as well. If not IIT, check out this article to know which design colleges accept a score of 75 in UCEED.
By measuring the UCEED Marks vs Rank 2026, we can estimate the range within which candidates can apply for institutions such as IIT or other participating universities. The comparison is done between what is a good score in UCEED 2026 and the expected rank range.
| Marks | All India Rank (Open) |
| 218.37 | 9 |
| 205.16 | 42 |
| 202.74 | 46 |
| 127.95 | 3171 |
Previous Year UCEED Cut-Off for General/Open Category: Up to Round-5 Allotment
Institute | Opening Rank | Closing Rank |
1 | 14 | |
15 | 41 | |
19 | 96 | |
23 | 61 | |
67 | 119 | |
87 | 111 | |
93 | 267 |
Though the General candidate UCEED cut off is at 69.89 for the median score candidates will have to score at least above 100 to gain admission to IITDM Jabalpur which has the lowest closing rank in the list. The admission for candidates in the Open Category to other universities is also difficult.
The expected closing rank for Srishti Manipal Institute of Art Design and Technology, stands at 595-600 for B.Des. The UCEED general cutoff based on the closing rank suggests a score between 90-100.
Candidates aiming to apply for admission with a score of 75 need to apply to other institutes besides IITs that have a much lower closing rank, preferably in the range of 1500-3000. Candidates who are in the SC/ST or PwD candidates can probably seek BDes admission at participating universities due to their lower cutoff as we have calculated earlier.
There is also the possibility that the trends for the rank and marks cutoff can alter in the next UCEED exam, allowing candidates with a score of 75 to apply with the UCEED scores at IITs or Participating Institutes. It can also expect change based on the difficulty level of the exam, the number of candidates appearing, the reservation for categories and the tie-breaking process.
