GLS University will not be part of the Joint Admission Process conducted by IIT Bombay.
GLS University, Ahmedabad will now accept CEED 2026 scores for admission to its Master of Design programme.
Students applying for the M.Des course at GLS can use their CEED score instead of relying only on university’s own selection process.
Candidates will need to follow GLS University’s separate application steps, which may include portfolio review or an interview round. Students should check university’s admission brochure for details on seat availability, deadlines and programme specific requirements.
This gives design aspirants an additional option, especially those seeking M.Des courses in Gujarat. CEED scores are valid for one academic year, so students planning for the 2026–27 session should submit their applications accordingly.
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.
