List of UCEED & CEED Colleges: Participating and Result Sharing Institutes

It is possible to prepare for CEED without coaching. But before you start on exam preparation on your own, you need the conviction that you can do it. If you are not convinced yourself and only decide to forgo coaching on the advice of others, the journey may be difficult.

If you prepare for the exam on your own, you need to be serious and plan the preparation smartly. Go through the syllabus. You must be able to decide the difficulty level, the time it will take to cover the syllabus, and revise. 

Candidates can start preparing for the exam.

1. Focus on the following resources to prepare for CEED:
2. Make sure that you get the best books to prepare for the CEED.
3. If the study material is good, it will contain few to no errors, will cover the entire syllabus, contain practice problems, etc.
4. Solve sample and previous year's questions and sample papers
5. Take mock tests.
6. When studying, make it a point to take notes. These notes will help you jot down all the important points.
7. Do timely revision. 

The seat allotment to UCEED participating colleges will be through the Joint Admission Process conducted by IIT Bombay. Note that only such candidates who have been allocated a merit rank in UCEED are eligible to participate in the seat allotment process.

The allotment of seats will be on the basis of merit rank of the candidate in UCEED and the college option opted at the time of counseling registration. 

The result-sharing institutes of UCEED will offer admission to some of their B. Des seats based on UCEED scores. However, they will not participate in the Joint Admission Process conducted by IIT Bombay. 

The counseling process for UCEED will be conducted by IIT Bombay as a Joint Seat Allocation process.

• To participate in UCEED counseling, the candidate must have qualified in the UCEED entrance exam and been allocated a merit rank.
• This means that if the candidate has failed to qualify Part A exam, he or she will not be allocated a merit rank and, therefore, is not eligible to take part in the counseling process.

Admission to the B. Des programme at UCEED participating colleges will be on the basis of UCEED merit rank. So, candidates with a higher rank will get preference in the seat allotment process. The admission committee will also consider the college option opted by the candidate and their order of priority.
