UCEED 2026 Cutoff: Factors, Admission Cutoff vs Qualifying Cutoff, Previous Year Trends

• Updated on 12 Aug, 2025 by Asmita

UCEED 2026 Cutoff: The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay will release the UCEED Cutoff 2026 for Part A & Part B, separately. IIT Bombay will release the UCEED 2026 Part A cutoff marks in category-wise and will be based on mean and standard deviation. Last year, the mean & standard deviation for UCEED 2025 Part-A were 61.50 and 25.69, respectively. The cutoff marks will be released after the announcement of UCEED Results.

 

Only candidates who meet the Part A cutoff will have their Part B answer booklets evaluated. Shortlisted candidates will be given their common rank based on their UCEED Result 2026. Candidates with higher ranks will have better chances of getting a seat and confirming admission. If a candidate fails in Part B, they will not be shortlisted or assigned a rank. The evaluation of Part B will be manual, and IIT Bombay does not provide evaluated answer booklets to candidates. Read further to know more about the UCEED 2026 cutoff and more.

Factors Affecting UCEED 2026 Cutoff

The authority considers several factors before finalising the final cutoff list of UCEED 2026. The factors affecting the UCEED 2026 Cutoff are as given below-

  • Number of candidates appearing for the exam
  • Difficulty level of the paper
  • Number of seats available in participating institutes
  • Reservation category of the candidate
  • Previous years’ cutoff trends

 

UCEED 2026 Admission Cutoff vs Qualifying Cutoff

The UCEED 2026 qualifying cutoff is the minimum score required in Part A of the exam for a candidate’s Part B answer sheet to be evaluated. The UCEED 2026 admission cutoff, on the other hand, is released during the counselling process and determines the minimum marks needed for seat allotment in participating institutes. While the qualifying cutoff is set before admissions, the admission cutoff varies annually based on the number of available seats, the number of applicants, and the level of competition within each category. Check out the following table for UCEED 2026 Qualifying Cutoff vs Admission Cutoff.

UCEED 2026 Cutoff FAQs

What is the UCEED 2026 cutoff?

The UCEED 2026 cutoff is the minimum mark required for candidates to qualify for the exam. It determines eligibility for admission to B.Des programs at participating institutes.

When will the UCEED 2026 cutoff be released?

The UCEED 2026 cutoff will be released after the declaration of the exam results. It will be published on the official UCEED website along with the rank list.

How is the UCEED 2026 cutoff calculated?

The UCEED 2026 cutoff is calculated based on factors like the number of candidates, difficulty level of the exam, and seat availability. Marks in both Part A and Part B are considered for the final cutoff.

Is the UCEED 2026 cutoff different for each category?

Yes, the UCEED 2026 cutoff is different for General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, and PwD categories. Category-wise relaxation is applied as per the reservation rules.

Will the UCEED 2026 cutoff be the same for all participating institutes?

No, each participating institute may have its own UCEED 2026 cutoff for admission. Candidates must check the specific cutoff of the institute they are applying to.

What was the previous year’s UCEED cutoff trend?

The previous year’s UCEED cutoff varied depending on the institute and category. Analysing past trends helps in estimating the expected UCEED 2026 cutoff.

Does scoring above the UCEED 2026 cutoff guarantee admission?

No, scoring above the UCEED 2026 cutoff only qualifies a candidate for the rank list. Admission depends on seat availability, category, and institute-specific cutoffs.

How can I check the UCEED 2026 cutoff?

Candidates can check the UCEED 2026 cutoff by visiting the official UCEED website. It will be available in PDF format along with the rank list.

Can the UCEED 2026 cutoff change after counselling starts?

Yes, the UCEED 2026 cutoff may change during seat allotment rounds. Institute-specific closing ranks will be updated after each counselling round.

UCEED 2026 Cutoff: The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay will release the UCEED Cutoff 2026 for Part A & Part B, separately. IIT Bombay will release the UCEED 2026 Part A cutoff marks in category-wise and will be based on mean and standard deviation. Last year, the mean & standard deviation for UCEED 2025 Part-A were 61.50 and 25.69, respectively. The cutoff marks will be released after the announcement of UCEED Results.

 

Only candidates who meet the Part A cutoff will have their Part B answer booklets evaluated. Shortlisted candidates will be given their common rank based on their UCEED Result 2026. Candidates with higher ranks will have better chances of getting a seat and confirming admission. If a candidate fails in Part B, they will not be shortlisted or assigned a rank. The evaluation of Part B will be manual, and IIT Bombay does not provide evaluated answer booklets to candidates. Read further to know more about the UCEED 2026 cutoff and more.

Factors Affecting UCEED 2026 Cutoff

The authority considers several factors before finalising the final cutoff list of UCEED 2026. The factors affecting the UCEED 2026 Cutoff are as given below-

  • Number of seats available in participating institutes

  • Previous years’ cutoff trends

 

UCEED 2026 Admission Cutoff vs Qualifying Cutoff

The UCEED 2026 qualifying cutoff is the minimum score required in Part A of the exam for a candidate’s Part B answer sheet to be evaluated. The UCEED 2026 admission cutoff, on the other hand, is released during the counselling process and determines the minimum marks needed for seat allotment in participating institutes. While the qualifying cutoff is set before admissions, the admission cutoff varies annually based on the number of available seats, the number of applicants, and the level of competition within each category. Check out the following table for UCEED 2026 Qualifying Cutoff vs Admission Cutoff.
