A score of 90 in UCEED 2026 is expected to be a good score for SC/ST candidates to secure admission. The UCEED entrance exam has two parts - Part and Part B. Only those candidates who score more than the minimum qualifying marks for Part A of UCEED 2026 will be evaluated for Part B. In this article let’s find out if 90 is a good score in UCEED 2026 based on the trends seen in the past.
Part B of the UCEED 2026 question paper will not be evaluated for candidates who do not have the minimum qualifying score in UCEED 2026 Part A for the respective category. Candidates have to clear the UCEED cut-off for each round of counselling to secure admission into the B.Des programme of participating IITs.
To understand whether 90 is a good score in UCEED 2026, we have to first look at whether 90 is a good score for Part A. Candidates have to qualify for Part A to get evaluated for Part B and be eligible for rankings and admissions.
The UCEED Part A cut-off data for previous year shows that 90 is a good score for UCEED 2026 Part A for all categories. The UCEED Part A cut-off marks for open category are calculated by adding the average marks and half of the standard deviation of the distribution of marks.
For OBC-NCL category, the qualifying score in Part A is 90% of that for the general category, and for SC/ST the qualifying score in UCEED 2026 Part A is 50% of that for the general category.

OBC NCL | 66.92 |
SC | 37.18 |
ST | 37.18 |

Standard Deviation | 25.69 |
The IIT B.Des admissions 2026 will be done based on the candidate’s rank determined through the candidate’s score in both Part A and Part B of the UCEED entrance exam.
While a general category candidate may find it difficult to secure admission into IIT B.Des, candidates from the SC/ST category have a good chance of obtaining admission.
