UCEED

The counseling for UCEED 2025 will commence on March 14, 2025. The counseling process will have five seat allotment rounds.

The candidate is allowed to withdraw seats till the 4th round of counseling. However, after the announcement of the last round of seat allocation, an option to withdraw/decline an accepted/allotted seat is not allowed.

To avoid any last-minute unforeseen transaction issues, you should pay the seat acceptance fee for a round well before the end time/date of the corresponding round.

If the fee is not paid within the given deadline, allotment will be cancelled. Also, such seats will be offered to the candidate next in the order of merit.

Yes, the seat-acceptance fee paid by the candidate will be adjusted against the institute fees of the admitting institute at the time of joining. In case the candidate
declines the offered seat after remitting the seat acceptance fee, the refund of the seat acceptance fee will be done per the policies of the admitting institute.

So, carefully go through the counseling process.

The candidate has to pay the seat-acceptance fee only once. If the candidate is allotted another seat (because they chose the ‘float’ option), they aren't required to pay the fee again.

However, the seat-acceptance fee will have to be paid within the given deadline. Or else, the allotment will be cancelled.

UCEED seat allotment will be provisional and will be confirmed by admitting institutes only after fees are paid, documents are duly verified, and their formalities are completed. 

If any of the steps are left incomplete, the seat allotment can be cancelled.

In such a case, the vacant seats will be offered to the candidate next in the order of merit.

As per the information given in the UCEED 2026 information brochure, 10% of seats in every course will be reserved for Gen-EWS category. 

Note that to apply under this category, you must meet the conditions given in the OM No. 20013/01/2018-BC-II, issued by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. When applying for UCEED 2026, you can select your category.

You can download candidate responses for Part-A of UCEED 2026 only till the declaration of the UCEED result. The download option will be disabled once the UCEED results are declared. No further requests will be entertained in this regard.

Using the candidate responses, the candidate can check their answers with those given in the answer key. This will help to calculate probable scores and thus chances of admission.

The evaluated answer booklets of Part-B will not be shared with the candidates. Further, the answer booklets of Part – B will be preserved ONLY for a period of three months from the date of declaration of the UCEED results.

Part B answer booklets will be evaluated manually. The panel will have two expert evaluators who will do the evaluation separately and independently.
