The qualifying cut-off for UCEED is calculated based on the following: The marks from Part A help shortlist students. The cut-off (Delta) for the OPEN category is determined using the formula: Mu + (sigma/2) = Delta, where Mu is the average marks and sigma is the standard deviation of all students' marks in Part A. These figures are rounded to two decimal places. Students in reserved categories have a relaxed cut-off: it is 0.9Delta for OBC-NCL/EWS and 0.5Delta for SC/ST/PwD, where Delta is the cut-off for the OPEN category.
Yes, UCEED releases cut-offs for each seat allotment round. Students must meet the cut-off in their respective categories to be considered for admission to the B.Des program. Cut-offs vary for different categories like OPEN, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, etc. Students who do not meet the cut-off in the early rounds may still be considered in later rounds.
The cut-off marks for Part A are used to shortlist students. Only those who are shortlisted have their Part B answers evaluated. If a student does not meet the qualifying cut-off, their Part B answers will not be evaluated. As a result, they will not get a merit rank. To take part in the UCEED counselling process, students need to have a merit rank.
The UCEED exam has two parts: Part A and Part B. The Part B answers are only looked at if students meet the cut-off for Part A. The admission committee decides what the qualifying cut-off for Part A will be. This cut-off helps to shortlist students for Part A. Students who qualify for Part A receive a merit rank and a total score. Those with merit ranks can join the counselling process. Remember, the Part A cut-off is not the same as the admission cut-off.
