UCEED Cut-Off 2026 (Expected)

Cut-off marks are the minimum qualifying marks you need to score to get shortlisted in the entrance exam. Authorities set the UCEED Cut-Off 2026 based on various factors such as the difficulty level of the paper, the number of students who appeared for the exam, the previous year's cut-off, etc.

Understanding the cut-off or knowing what is a good UCEED score helps you determine the safe UCEED score for IIT Bombay.

Our experts from CreativeEdge have estimated the following cut-off for the academic year 2026. The UCEED cut-off 2026 will vary by category and institute.

Based on previous years’ trends, here’s an estimated UCEED 2026 expected cut-off for shortlisting:

Category	Expected Part A Cut Off Marks (Out of 240)	Remarks
General	80-90	Slightly higher due to increasing competition
OBC-NCL / EWS	70-80	Small rise due to higher cut-off for general category
SC / ST / PwD	40-45	Small rise due to higher cut-off for general category but still relatively lower due to fewer applicants

What is a good score in UCEED 2026?

A total score of 220+ out of 250 is considered excellent for general category candidates and typically ensures a rank within the top 100 - strong enough for IIT Bombay or IIT Delhi.

Estimated total marks (out of 300)	Estimated All India Rank (Open)	Likely college band (Open category)
220+	Top 1-5	Very likely IIT Bombay / IIT Delhi
170-199	Top 6-50	Strong chance at top IITs (Bombay/Delhi/Guwahati)
150-169	Top 50-120	Competitive for IIT Guwahati / IIT Hyderabad
130-149	Top 120-300	Possibility for IIT Hyderabad / IIITDM Jabalpur
110-129	Top 300-700	May get IIITDM Jabalpur / IIT Roorkee / IIT Indore
90-109	700-1400	Limited IIT options; private institutes likely
<90	1400+	Focus on alternative design colleges

UCEED Past Year Results Comparison (2021-2025)

Year	Total Marks	Top Rank Score	Overall Difficulty Level
2025	300 (200 Part A, 100 Part B)	230+	Moderate
2024	300 (200 Part A, 100 Part B)	200+	Difficult
2023	300 (240 Part A, 60 Part B)	190 - 195	Moderate
2022	300 (240 Part A, 60 Part B)	180 - 185	Easy
2021	300 (240 Part A, 60 Part B)	200 - 210	Moderate

In 2024, UCEED revised its total marks to 300 (200 for Part A + 100 for Part B) - emphasizing both analytical and creative problem-solving skills equally. The new change had clear effects on the cut off marks for this year.

UCEED 2026 Result Tie-Breaker Policy

If two or more candidates score the same total marks, IIT Bombay applies the following tie-breaking rules. In case of a tie in UCEED total marks (Part A + Part B), the following order of preference is applied:

Step / Order	Tie-Breaking Condition	Explanation / Example
Criteria #1	Candidate with higher marks in Part B is given a higher rank.	Example: If Candidate A and B both scored 210 overall, but A scored 70 in Part B while B scored 68 -> A ranks higher.
Criteria #2	If the tie still persists, the candidate with higher marks in Section 2 (MSQ) of Part A is ranked higher.	This checks conceptual and analytical design reasoning.
Criteria #3	If still tied, candidate with higher marks in Section 1 (NAT) of Part A is ranked higher.	This tests visualization and spatial ability.
Criteria #4	If the tie still persists, the younger candidate (by birth date) is given a higher rank.	IIT Bombay prefers younger age in final order.
Criteria #5	If all the above are identical, candidates are assigned the same rank.	Very rare, usually only in tied category ranks.

This ensures a fair ranking in the UCEED 2026 result. Let's understand each step in detail:

Know more: UCEED Exam Analysis

Step 1: Higher Marks in Part B (Drawing & Design Aptitude)

Part B tests real-world design thinking, sketching, and visualization skills, which IITs value most in B.Des aspirants.
Hence, Part B has the highest priority in resolving ties.

Example:
Candidate A: 152 in Part A + 65 in Part B = 217
Candidate B: 155 in Part A + 62 in Part B = 217
Result: Candidate A ranks higher due to superior Part B performance.

Step 2: Higher Marks in Section 2 (MSQ) of Part A

MSQs (Multiple Select Questions) check a student’s conceptual clarity and problem-solving accuracy, rewarding precision and deep understanding.
So, if the total and Part B marks are identical, MSQ section scores decide who ranks higher.

Example: Candidate X and Y both have 190 marks total and 60 in Part B, but X has 36/60 in MSQ while Y has 32/60, X ranks higher.

Step 3: Higher Marks in Section 1 (NAT) of Part A

If both Part B and MSQ marks are tied, NAT (Numerical Answer Type) scores are used.
NAT evaluates visual reasoning and logical estimation, key aspects of design aptitude.
This ensures the candidate with better visualization accuracy is given preference.

Step 4: Younger Age Preference

If marks are identical across all sections, the candidate born later (younger) is given a higher rank.
This is a final, objective tie-breaker used rarely when all section scores match exactly.

Step 5: Same Rank (If All Else Is Equal)

In the rare case where scores, sections, and birth dates match, both candidates are assigned the same rank in the UCEED rank list.
Such ties are extremely uncommon but may occur in category-specific lists.

Practical Example (UCEED 2026)

Candidate	Part A Score	Part B Score	Total Marks (out of 250)	Rank (After Tie-Break)
Candidate A	132	86	218	1 (Higher Part B marks)
Candidate B	136	82	218	2
Candidate C	132	86	218	1 (Same marks as A, shared rank if DOB also same)

Why Part B Is Given Priority in Tie-Breaks

Part B is manually evaluated and tests core design abilities including creativity, problem-solving, perspective drawing, and aesthetic sensitivity.
Because these skills define success in design school, IIT Bombay uses Part B as the top criterion to distinguish merit.

 Important Notes About Tie-Breaking in UCEED 2026

• Tie-breaking rules apply only to candidates who qualify in both Part A and Part B.
• IIT Bombay’s decision regarding tie resolution is final and binding.
• Category-wise rank lists also follow the same tie-breaking policy.
