UCEED Counselling

Yes, the tie-breaking rule directly impacts your UCEED 2025 All India Rank. If multiple candidates have the same total score, the candidate meeting the higher priority criteria of the tie-breaking rules will be ranked higher on the merit list.

If two or more candidates have the same UCEED score after considering Part B, Section 2, Section 1, and date of birth, the final decision will be made by the examination authority. Such cases are extremely rare, and the committee ensures a fair and unbiased approach to resolve them.

In case of a tie between two or more candidates with the same total marks, UCEED 2025 has a defined tie-breaking policy. The following criteria will be used in order of priority:

• Higher marks in Part B of the exam will be considered first.

• If the tie still persists, higher marks in Section 2 of Part A will be considered.

• If there is still no resolution, higher marks in Section 1 of Part A will be taken into account.

• If the tie remains unresolved, the candidate with an earlier date of birth will be given priority.
