    UCEED 2027 Tie-Breaking Rule Details

    IIT Bombay will notify the UCEED 2027 tie-breaking rule in the UCEED notification. The UCEED tie-breaking rule helps to determine the candidate's rank. A candidate is offered seats during the UCEED counselling process based on their rank and the college preferences submitted by them. It is therefore important for candidates to familiarise themselves with the tie-breaking rule to formulate a preparation strategy that will help them get a higher rank in the exam.

    The tie-breaking rule is given below as per last year.
