B.Des

I believe a BDes degree in Fashion Design has more employment and higher salary prospects than a BA, especially when it comes to the creative and technical elements in the Fashion field. A BA in Fashion Design is more focused on the theoretical aspect of Fashion, like principles, history, and focus. For BA Fashion Design graduates, it is advisable to pursue further education, like a master's degree or a Diploma course.

You should secure a rank of at least 42 if you belong to the General AI category. For this category, this was the highest acceptable rank according to the IIT Hyderabad UCEED cutoff 2026 for the last round. Students who belong to other categories can look at the table below to know the highest acceptable rank for their category. 

For 2026, the last round of UCEED had the closing rank of 16 for BDes admission at IIT Bombay. For IIT Delhi, the cutoff rank was 28. So, considering the ranks, IIT Bombay is the most competitive college among BDes aspirtants as compared to IIT Delhi. 

Both, IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi accept the UCEED exam for BDes course admission, wherein IIT Bombay offers BDes via its centre called Industrial Design Centre (IDC) and IIT Delhi offers a BDes course via its own campus. 

IIT Delhi and IIT Bombay accept the UCEED exam for B.Des admission. However, IIT Delhi offers a B.Des course via its own campus, and IIT Bombay offers a full-time B.Des course via its centre called the Industrial Design Centre (IDC).

During the UCEED cutoff 2026, the IIT Delhi admission was closed at a cutoff rank of 28. For IIT Bombay, the admission was closed at 14 for the General AI category students.

Considering the ranks, it is evident that IIT Bombay is more competitive for B.Des admission. To choose the colleges, candidates can also compare the below aspects.
