UCEED exam general discussion - FAQ's


Note: This page has also exceeded the limit of 200 comments, so please use this new page in case you wish to ask your query.


Hello all,

This is a general discussion page, where you can comment below your questions/queries or answer to your queries that are related to exam, pattern, institutes etc. 

My reply to the most asked questions


Q1)

"What is the cutoff for UCEED ? (or any other design exam) 

UCEED or any other design exam for that matter does not maintain a fixed or standard cut off every year. Exam cut off varies every year based on the following factors

  • Number of students appearing
  • Exam difficulty level
  • Maximum marks scored by the first ranker (and subsequent top 100/any other numbered people)
  • Density or number of people having same marks or score
  • Average marks obtained 
  • Number of students having marks within a given range etc
So, it's not that easy to tell - for a given marks, whether that is accepted or within a range. Just based on marks, we cannot predict AIR or cutoff. Some times, for lower marks also, there is a chances oif getting good AIR (if exam was difficult and average of all the people's attempt were low) and vice versa. So, just don't get confused but wait till the results or score list!


Q2) 

"I got xyz marks based on UCEED results or from the key, will I get seat in abc institute ? (or any other design exam) 

Again, institute cutoff's varies every year based on the above discussions. If there is a post UCEED process just like CEED, NID-DAT and other design exams, then it's not necessary that institutes take only the toppers! they will also give weight-age to any/some or all of the following - merit, performance in interview, studio tests, portfolio etc and more. So again, discussion for Q1 is applicable and must be justifying here.


Please don't repeat asking this question again and again. Thanks.
