CEED Scores

The final CEED score is calculated by combining your performance in Part A and Part B of the exam, but with different weightages.

Here's how it works:

• Part A (Objective section) - 25% weightage

• Part B (Drawing and Design section) - 75% weightage

• Final CEED Score = (Part A score * 0.25) + (Part B score * 0.75)

A good score in CEED typically depends on the year's difficulty level, overall performance of candidates, and cutoffs set by individual institutes.

In general:

• A score above 45-50 in Part A is considered safe for qualifying.

• A final combined score (Part A + Part B) of above 60-65 out of 100 is usually considered very good for getting calls from top institutes like IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, and IISc Bangalore.

• For the the highest-ranking institutes, candidates often need a rank within the Top 100 to have a strong chance.

• CEED does not have a fixed qualifying score each year; the cutoffs vary based on the exam difficulty
