The total marks in UCEED 2026 part a was 200.

However, a score of 95+ marks in part A will place the candidate in a much safer zone to obtain an IIT B.Des seat.
The UCEED cut-off 2026 for part A is arrived at by adding half the standard deviation of the mark distribution of all candidates’ marks in Part A to the average marks of all candidates in Part A.
