UCEED Participating Institutes 2024 - There are five participating institutes of UCEED 2024.

These institutes have a combined intake of 205 seats for the B.Des program. Admission to B.Des program offered by participating institutes will be based on UCEED 2024 merit rank. Note that scores of other entrance exams, including NIFT, NID DAT, SEED, etc. will not be considered for admission to the B.Des program at these institutes.

Additionally, UCEED 2024 scores will also be used by result-sharing institutes to fill some seats in their UG programs through UCEED. In the previous academic session, there were 23 result-sharing institutes.

A key difference between a participating institute and a result-sharing institute is that the former will participate in the Joint Admission Process (or centralized counseling) conducted by IIT Bombay. On the other hand, result-sharing institutes will not participate in the Joint Admission Process, and will instead conduct their own counseling process. So, candidates have to apply to each of these institutes separately based on their UCEED 2023 scores.

Further, the result-sharing institutes will only fill some of the seats based on UCEED scores; the remaining seats will be filled on the merit of other entrance exams.
