Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has notified the UCEED 2027 Part A cutoff rank in the information brochure. Only those candidates who clear the UCEED Part A cutoff are evaluated for Part B of the exam. The final UCEED 2027 result will be prepared by adding the candidate’s marks in both parts of the exam. In this article, find out the UCEED 2027 Part A cutoff rank.
As per the evaluation criteria for UCEED 2027, candidates also have to clear the UCEED Part B cutoff and then clear the final UCEED cutoff to secure BDes admissions. The UCEED seat allotment will be done based on rank in the UCEED entrance exam and the candidate’s IIT preferences.
The UCEED 2027 cutoff rank for Part A is 6400. This means the top 6400 candidates will be considered for evaluation of their Part B scores. The candidates will be shortlisted in such a way that the minimum qualified score for OBC-NCL/EWS and SC/ST/PwD is 0.9 and 0.5 times the minimum qualified score of OPEN category candidates, respectively
All candidates who are tied at the 6400th rank will be shortlisted for Part B evaluation. Therefore, the actual number of shortlisted candidates can exceed 6400.
The formula to calculate the UCEED cutoff for Part A is depicted in the image below. The cutoff varies across categories. If the number of candidates who secure the cutoff marks as per the formula is less than or equal to 6400, then that score will the UCEED Part A cutoff score.

If candidates clear the UCEED 2027 Part A cutoff rank, then they will be eligible for evaluation of Part B. However, candidates must also clear the UCEED cutoff for Part B to be eligible for rankings. Only those candidates who secure a rank after qualifying Part A and B will be eligible to register for the UCEED counselling process. Through the centralised counselling process, candidates will be admitted into the BDes programmes of participating IITs. Besides IITs, candidates can also separately apply to colleges that accept UCEED scores. Some of the top design colleges that accept UCEED scores include Pearl Academy, ANU Design University, and BITS Design School.
The category-wise UCEED 2027 Part B cutoff is given in the table below -
Category | Part B Cutoff Marks (out of 100) |
Open | 15 |
OBC-NCL/EWS | 13.5 |
SC/ST/PwD | 7.5 |
