Hello Tanishk,

Based on your score of 72 in Section A of UCEED 2025, and considering that you couldn't clear the overall cutoff, it's challenging to predict an exact rank. The UCEED rank is determined by the combined scores of Part A and Part B . For the Open category, a score above 135 is generally considered good . Since your score is below this threshold, it's likely that your rank would be lower, and admission to top design institutes might be challenging. However, exact rankings can vary each year based on the exam's difficulty and the performance of other candidates.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hello there,

In the case of UCEED , if you mistakenly draw or write your answers in the wrong sections (e.g., answering the first question in the second question's answer sheet), it typically gets evaluated based on the content and clarity of your response.

However, to avoid any confusion or errors in evaluation, it’s always recommended to:

• Clearly follow the instructions and write in the designated sections.
• If you realize the mistake during the exam, try to cross-check your answer sheets to correct it.

If you’re unsure, it’s advisable to reach out to the UCEED conducting authorities and inform them of the error. They may be able to guide you further regarding any special instructions for such cases.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
