Currently, NSUT does not offer a B.Des. program. However, other institutes like IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, and IIITDM Jabalpur offer B.Des. through UCEED.

IIT Bombay: Around Rank 14

IIT Delhi: Around Rank 35

Hello Saumya,

As of now, Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT) has not officially released the specific opening and closing UCEED ranks for B.Des admissions for candidates from outside the Delhi region. The available information primarily focuses on the selection process and seat allocation.

Selection Priorities for B.Des at NSUT:

1. First Priority: Candidates who have cleared the UCEED exam conducted by IIT Bombay.
   
   

2. Second Priority: Candidates with a rank in a national-level design entrance examination (or allied fields) for a four-year course at any centrally funded institute/university.
   
   

3. Third Priority: Candidates with a rank in a state-level design entrance examination (or allied fields) for a four-year course at any state government-funded institute/university.

For Outside Delhi Region Candidates , 15% of the seats are allocated.

Given the limited availability of seats and the prioritization criteria, securing admission as an outside Delhi candidate is competitive. It's advisable to aim for a high UCEED rank to enhance your chances.

Recommendations:

• Regularly Check Official Sources: Keep an eye on NSUT's official website and the UCEED portal for any updates on cutoff ranks and admission criteria.
  
  

• Prepare Thoroughly for UCEED: Achieving a high score will significantly improve your prospects, especially given the competitive nature of the program.
  
  

• Consider Backup Options: Explore other reputable design institutes that accept UCEED scores to broaden your opportunities.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to ask. We will be happy to assist you.

Thank You and wishing you a bright future ahead.

Hello,

UCEED questions cover design aptitude, sketching, creativity, logical reasoning, and problem-solving. They explore visual perception, analytical and critical thinking, and general awareness of design-related topics. The exam emphasizes creativity and the common understanding while also assessing overall aptitude rather than specific academic knowledge.

I hope this helps,

Thank you
