How to Select CEED Exam Centres 2027
Applicants must select three examination cities in order of preference during online registration. The order matters because the examination authority may consider the second or third preference if the first city cannot be retained.
Follow these steps when selecting your preferred cities:
- Open theofficial CEED 2027 website.
- Access the online registration portal.
- Complete the required registration details.
- Open the examination city preference section.
- Select three available cities in the preferred order.
- Review the choices before submitting the application form.
- Complete the remaining application steps and submit the form.
Review the selection carefully before final submission. The brochure states that requests to change the examination city will not be entertained after submission.
How Does CEED Centre Allotment 2027 Work?
IIT Bombay and the UCEED-CEED Implementation Committee (UCIC 2027) determine the examination city arrangements. Selecting a city does not guarantee that the examination authority will allot that city.
The brochure identifies two important conditions that may affect allotment:
- Insufficient candidates: If a city does not have a sufficient number of candidates, the authority may drop it from the final list. Applicants may then receive their second- or third-preference city.
- Changes to the city list: UCIC 2027 reserves the right to add a new city or remove an existing one. It may also allot a city that an applicant did not select.
The brochure does not specify a fixed candidate threshold for retaining a city. It also does not guarantee allotment according to the first preference.
