UCEED 2025 Cut-off for Part A will be released on February 6, 2025 and only those who qualify for the Part A cut-off will have their Part B answer booklets evaluated.
Part A consisted of 57 questions divided across three sections, contributing to a total of 200 marks. Part B, on the other hand, included two mandatory drawing questions, each carrying 50 marks.
The cut-off for the OPEN category is calculated as the average marks plus half of the standard deviation of Part A scores. For reserved categories, the cut-off is relaxed to 90 percent of the OPEN category cut-off for OBC-NCL and EWS, and 50 percent for SC, ST, and PwD. All values will be rounded to two decimal places.
Based on past trends, the expected cut-off marks for UCEED 2025 are as follows:
- For the General (CRL) Category, candidates will need at least 10% in each section (Sections 1, 2, and 3) and 100 marks overall.
- For the OBC/EWS Category, the expected cut-off is 9% in each section and 90 marks overall.
- For candidates in the SC/ST/PwD Category, the expected cut-off is 5% in each section and 50 marks overall. These cut-offs will serve as a benchmark for shortlisting candidates for the next steps in the admission process.
The result will be declared on March 7, 2025, and scorecards will be available for download from March 10, 2025.
Counseling will be done through five rounds of seat allotment, so the candidates will have chances to get admitted.

FAQs
Question 1. Is UCEED tougher than JEE?
Answer- UCEED and JEE have different focuses:
-
UCEED: Tests design aptitude, creativity, and visualization skills.
-
JEE: Focuses on mathematics, physics, and chemistry rigorously.
While JEE (especially Advanced) is technically more challenging, UCEED requires a strong creative and analytical mindset, making it difficult for those without a design aptitude background.
Question 2. What is a good score in UCEED?
Answer- A "good" score in UCEED depends on the candidate’s category and the institute they aim for:
-
Top Institutes (e.g., IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi):
- General Category: A score above 100 is competitive.
- OBC-NCL Category: Around 90-95 marks.
- SC/ST/PwD Categories: A score around 60-70 marks.
-
Other Institutes (e.g., IIITs, top NITs):
- General Category: A score of 80-90 is good.
- OBC-NCL Category: Around 75-85 marks.
- SC/ST/PwD Categories: A score of 50-60 marks can secure admission.
Question 3. Is 125 a good score in UCEED?
Answer- Yes, a score of 125 in UCEED 2024 is highly competitive for the General category. Here’s an analysis:
- The cut-off for the General category was approximately 55.43, calculated using the formula δ = μ + (σ/2), where:
- μ (Mean): 43.91
- σ (Standard Deviation): 23.03
- With a score of 125, you are well above the cut-off and have a strong chance of admission to top institutes like IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi. Final admission depends on seat availability, the number of applicants, and institute-specific criteria.
