In CEED 2023, the mean deviation was 22.59, and the standard deviation was 11.82.

For CEED 2024, there are two distinct cutoffs:

It's important to note that the evaluation of the Part B answer booklet is contingent upon the candidate making this shortlist. The release date for the Part A cutoff is scheduled for February 8, 2024.
• Admission CEED Cutoff: Participating institutes will determine this cutoff, taking into account factors such as the number of applications, merit ranks of applicants, seat availability, and the candidate's category. The admission cutoff will be released during the seat allotment process.

Note: The merit rank, which is used for admission purposes, is calculated by assigning a weightage of 25% to Part A and 75% to Part B.

Factors Calculating CEED 2024 Cutoff for Part A

Cut-off Marks for Part A - CEED 2023 

CEED 2023 -  Category-wise Part A Cut-off Marks

The Part A cut-off marks for CEED 2023, categorized by different sections, are provided in the table below as a reference.

CEED 2025 Cutoff Part B

Part B comprises a total of 5 questions of 100 marks. By using the formula given below, a normalised score ‘S’ will be calculated. Part-B answer books will be evaluated manually for candidates who are shortlisted on the basis of Part A.

S = {(m − μi) Σ / σi} + A, wherein

• m= raw marks obtained in question i

• μi = the average of the raw marks obtained by all candidates who attempt for the question i

• σi = the standard deviation of the raw marks obtained by the candidates who answered the question i

• A = 20 and Σ = 5 the average and the standard deviation, respectively, for the distribution of scores ‘S’. If the calculated ‘S’ score for any candidates is below 0, all such scores will be capped at 0, and if the calculated ‘S’ score for any candidate is above 40, all such scores will be capped at 40.

Marks obtained by the candidate in other questions in Part B will be added to ‘S’ for securing the part B score.
