The UCEED 2026 (Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design) cut off marks will be a critical benchmark set by IIT Bombay. The UCEED 2026 cut off is to determine eligibility for admission into undergraduate design programs at IITs and participating institutes. The UCEED 2026 cut off scores vary annually based on exam difficulty, candidate performance, and seat availability.
UCEED cut offs are statistically derived based on the marks obtained by all candidates in Part A of the exam. The formula used to calculate the cut off for the open category is:
Cut Off=μ+σ2Cut Off=μ+2σ
This formula ensures a fair threshold relative to the overall performance of exam takers. Cut off marks are category-specific, with relaxed criteria for reserved categories (OBC-NCL, SC, ST, PwD).
Category
Expected Cut Off Range (Marks)
General/Open
55–65
OBC-NCL

SC/ST/PwD

Candidates must meet the minimum percentage marks in each part as well as aggregate to qualify for admission eligibility.

Note: Cut offs fluctuate across counseling rounds. Typically, opening ranks indicate highest-ranked admitted candidates, and closing ranks indicate the lowest.
Q1. What is the formula used to calculate UCEED 2026 cut offs?
Ans. UCEED cut offs are calculated using the formula: Cut off = Mean score + Half of the Standard Deviation of marks obtained by candidates in Part A.
Q2. Are UCEED cut offs the same for all categories?
Ans. No, cut offs differ for categories. General/Open category has the highest cut offs, while reserved categories such as OBC-NCL, SC, ST, and PwD have relaxed lower cut off thresholds.
Q3. What are the expected UCEED 2026 cut off marks for the General category?
Ans. For general category candidates, the expected cut off lies around 55 to 65 marks based on past trends and statistical analysis.
Q4. Do all candidates who appear in UCEED 2026 qualify for counselling?
Ans. No, only candidates who meet or exceed the cut off marks, especially in Part A, qualify for counselling and subsequent admission rounds.
Q5. Do the cut offs change after each counselling round?
Ans. Yes, UCEED 2026 cut offs may vary with each counselling round, with opening and closing ranks shifting depending on seat availability and candidate choices.
