CEED Result Sharing Institutes 2027: Category-wise Seat Intake, Eligibility, Admission, Fees

The cut-off marks for CEED 2026 is 39.35 and 16.89.  Mean and standard deviation for Part-A (CEED 2026) are 39.35 and 16.89, respectively.

The cutoff for CEED Admission is expected to be out after the release of the CEED result and scorecard. CEED result and Scorecard will be used for CEED Admission in various IITs.

IIT Bombay declares the names of the CEED participating institutes at the time of the release of the admission notification or sometime thereabout. Also, the number of participating instittutes may change from one year to another. So, we can’t say that the number of participating institutes is fixed.

In fact, IIT Bomaby in consultation with the member institutes decides the list of participating institutes. Note that the IIT Bombay conducts a Joint Seat Allotment Process for the participating institutes. Also, participating institutes can only use CEED scores for admission purposes.

There are 11 participating institutes of CEED that offer the M.Des program. Admission to the program will be on the basis of CEED merit rank.

IIT Bombay will conduct the CEED 2027 exam on January 17, 2027 from 9 AM to 12 PM. 

The CEED participating institutes will open the application form for counseling on their respective official admission portals. The step-wise admission process to the M.Des programme is given below:

1. Candidate needs to check CEED results.

2. Candidates who have qualified CEED exam, or have been assigned a merit rank are eligible to apply to a CEED-participating institute.

3. Participating institutes will start the counseling application form soon after CEED results are declared.

4. Candidate who have qualified CEED exam and also meets the eligibility criteria prescribed by the participating institute need to fill in the application form before the last date.

5. Participating institutes will shortlist applications based on the merit rank of the candidate.

6. The institute may also conduct further admission rounds before final seat allotment.

The participating institutes of CEED will offer admission to the M.Des courses based on CEED scores only. They will not accept scores of other entrance exams for admission process. Also, IIT Bombay will conduct a Joint Seat Allotment Process or Counseling for the participating institutes.

On the other hand, result-sharing institutes will not participate in the Joint Seat Allotment Process. Instead, these institutes will conduct counseling at an institute-level. This means, the candidate has to apply directly to these institutes based on their CEED scores. Another thing is result-sharing institutes will allocate only a fraction of the seats for CEED qualified candidates. 

No, each institute has its own admission process, even though they accept CEED scores. Generally, CEED admission process includes

• Shortlisting of candidates based on CEED scores
• Institute-specific written tests or assignments (varies by institute)
• Personal Interview (PI) or portfolio review
• Final selection based on overall performance

Candidates should check the official website of each institute for specific details.

No, you cannot use your CEED 2025 scorecard to get admission to 2026 academic year. The scorecard is valid for one year from the date of issue.

The scorecard of CEED will be issued to all candidates who appear in the CEED exam. So, even if you have failed to qualify Part A, you can download the scorecard.

But note that in this case, the scorecard will only include qualifying status and Part A marks. Part B marks, Total marks and merit ranks will only be issued to qualified candidates. Candidates who have been assigned a merit rank can participate in the counseling process conducted by participating institutes.

CEED 2027 applications will open from October 1, 2027. The application had to be filled online at CEED portal. The candidate can apply with both regular and late fees.

IIT Bombay will not conduct any Joint Seat Allotment process for CEED qualified candidates. Instead, the candidate will have to apply directly to any or all of the eight participating institutes for admission. Note that IIT Bombay conducts a Joint Seat Allotment process for UCEED.

To get admission to a CEED participating institute, the candidate needs to go to the admission portal of the institute and fill in the counseling registration form. The registration form will open soon after the CEED results are declared.

The number of CEED result-sharing institutes is not constant. In fact, every year there is a different set of institutes that make the list of CEED result-sharing institutes. Note that the names of the CEED result-sharing institutes will be announced on the admission portal.

CEED counseling registration form will open soon after the CEED results are announced. Eligible candidates will have to go to the admission portal of the institute and fill in the application form. The participating institute will then shortlist applications based on the merit rank of the candidate in the CEED exam.

Candidate can calculate probable scores using CEED answer key. 

Using key, candidates can calculate the number of correct attempts. The candidate needs to follow the marking scheme to calculate the probable score. One purpose of probable score is that it will help to know their chances of admission even before CEED results are declared.
