Points Candidates Should Note

CEED does not offer centralised counselling; admissions are handled by institutes individually.

Clearing the CEED cutoff does not guarantee admission, as interviews, design tests or portfolios may be considered.

Separate cutoffs are applied for reserved categories.

IIT Bombay and IISc Bengaluru continue to record tighter rank ranges compared to newer IITs.
