Undergraduate Common Entrance Exam for Design (UCEED) is a national-level entrance test administered by IIT Bombay under the Ministry of Education, Government of India. It serves as the entry point to Bachelor of Design (B.Des) programmes at IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Roorkee, and IIITDM Jabalpur. UCEED scores are also accepted by several other institutes which have their own admissions.
UCEED tests candidates in visual perception, creativity, design ability, drawing, observation, analytical reasoning, and problem solving. The test is divided into two parts: Part A (computer-based objective examination) and Part B (drawing and design ability). Part B is only assessed for candidates who qualify Part A. The final rank is based on combined performance in both sections.
Students who have passed or are appearing for Class 12 in any stream can apply. There are two consecutive attempts with a maximum of two attempts, subject to category-specific age criteria. Participating IITs conduct admissions through a centralized Joint Seat Allotment process without portfolio review or personal interview.

The UCEED 2026 exam is conducted in a single session — 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon — with a total duration of 3 hours. The exam has two mandatory parts and is worth a total of 300 marks.
Visualization and spatial reasoning, Practical and scientific knowledge, Observation and design sensitivity, Environmental and social awareness, Analytical and logical reasoning, Language and creativity.
Candidates must clear the Part A cutoff (released category-wise) for their Part B to be evaluated.
The merit rank is assigned based on combined performance in Part A and Part B. Candidates with equal total marks are ranked using the tie-break policy: higher Part B score → higher rank; if still tied, higher Part A score → higher rank.
The UCEED 2026 application was completely online at the official IIT Bombay portal: uceed.iitb.ac.in. Candidates were required to choose three exam city preferences during registration. The exam was held across 27 cities including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Mumbai, Noida, Pune, and more.
UCEED 2026 registrations are now closed. The next cycle — UCEED 2027 — is expected to open for applications in October 2026 at uceed.iitb.ac.in. BRDS helps you start your preparation early so you are fully ready when the next application window opens.

All appeared candidates are marked in Part A. The marking of Part B is shown to the ones who are cleared of Part A cutoff. Only those candidates that pass both parts are awarded an All India Rank (AIR). The successful candidates are then allowed to participate in the centralized Joint Seat Allotment process held by IIT Bombay over 5 rounds. The allocation of seats is done on AIR, category, and institute basis. Applicants should ensure that they book their seat by paying the seat acceptance fee before the stipulated deadline, otherwise they lose the seat.
The UCEED B is released by IIT Bombay. Admission form of Des dated 14 March 2026. Applications should be made by applicants using this portal individually in order to be eligible to take part in seat allotment - being a qualified UCEED does not mean a seat would be offered.
