Hello Yogesh,

To secure admission to the B.Des (Bachelor of Design) program at IIT Bombay through the UCEED (Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design), you generally need to score highly, as IIT Bombay is among the top choices for design aspirants in India. Here’s a general overview:

1. UCEED Score Requirements : Admission scores vary yearly depending on factors like the number of applicants and difficulty of the UCEED exam. In recent years, candidates aiming for IIT Bombay typically needed a UCEED rank within the top 40-50 for a strong chance of admission, which often corresponds to scores around 180-220 marks or higher (out of 300).
   
   

2. Category-wise Cutoff : Cutoffs differ by category (General, OBC, SC/ST, EWS). General category candidates typically need higher scores than reserved category candidates, where the ranks may range a bit lower to secure a seat.
   
   

3. Admission Process : After the UCEED results, shortlisted candidates participate in a counseling process, where they submit their preferences for IITs offering B.Des courses. Seats are then allocated based on rank and preference.

For the most accurate and updated details, keep an eye on the UCEED official website and IIT Bombay's announcements.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello,

If you've made the payment for UCEED 2025 and the amount has been deducted from your account but isn't showing up in the application form, here's what you should do:

1. Wait for Some Time : Sometimes, due to technical delays or processing issues, payments can take a few hours or even up to a day to reflect in the application portal. Waiting for 24 hours before taking further action is advisable.

2. Check for Confirmation : Verify if you received a payment confirmation email or message from your bank or the payment gateway. This can help assure you that the transaction was processed.

3. Contact Support : If the payment doesn’t reflect after a reasonable waiting period, reach out to the UCEED application helpdesk or support team. Provide them with your payment transaction details (e.g., transaction ID, date, and amount) for their review.

4. Avoid Making Duplicate Payments : Do not make another payment until you are certain that the first transaction has failed. Duplicate payments can be inconvenient and may require additional time to process refunds.

If it continues not to show up after 24-48 hours, getting in touch with UCEED's official support is your best course of action.

Scoring 140 marks in Part A of UCEED 2025 is a great achievement. To assess your chances of getting into an IIT, let's look at the previous year's cutoffs.

In UCEED 2023, the cutoffs for the general category were:

- IIT Bombay: 1-16

- IIT Guwahati: 17-59

- IIT Hyderabad: 21-53

- IIITDM Jabalpur: 55-93

Considering your score, you might have a good chance of getting into IIT, especially if your drawing marks are decent. However, please note that the cutoffs can vary from year to year.

To give you a better idea, the mean and standard deviation for Part-A (UCEED 2025) are 61.50 and 25.69, respectively. The cutoffs for Part-A marks to shortlist candidates in the OPEN category will be calculated based on these values.

Keep in mind that the final merit list will be prepared based on the combined scores of Part A and Part B. So, it's essential to perform well in the drawing section as well.

I recommend checking the official UCEED for the latest updates on cutoffs and merit lists.
