CEED

It is a good idea for candidate to have an idea about the cut-off marks for participating institutes. For one, this will help candidate check the cut-off trends across the years. Candidate will also provide insights into details, which institute has highest cut-off. By gaining insights into the cut-off, the candidate will be able to prepare for the CEED exam accordingly.

If candidate is eying one of the top exams, cut-off would be going to be high. So, candidate must check cut-off for their category and check out what rank range is a safe bet for admission.

The mean and standard deviation for Part-A (CEED 2026) are 39.35 and 16.89. CEED cutoff marks 2027 will be released after the results.

Formula to determine CEED shortlisting criteria is µ + (σ 2) = δ, where µ and σ are average marks and standard deviation of distribution of marks obtained by all candidates in Part-A of CEED. 

µ and σ will be rounded off after first decimal place. 

Candidates belonging to reserved categories shall have to fulfill a relaxed cut-off mark. It will be

0.9 for EWS

0.5 for SC/ST

0.5 for PwD

The participating institute of CEED 2026 will consider the following points for determining the admission cut-off:

• The number of candidates appearing in CEED 2026

• The performance of candidates in the exam

• The merit ranks of applicants seeking admission to the college

• Total seat intake

• Category under which admission is sought

• Previous years' cutoff trends

Note that the above factors are variables; so, if any of these factors change, the cut-off would also change.
