Reporting to the Allotted Institute
Your B.Des admission is confirmed only after you physically report to the allotted institute, get documents verified and pay the remaining programme fee. Online seat acceptance is a provisional step and does not replace institute-level joining formalities.
Once your seat acceptance is done and your allotted institute is confirmed, take these steps to complete joining:
- Visit the official website of your allotted institute for its specific reporting schedule and joining instructions.
- Carry all original documents and self-attested photocopies in a folder on your reporting day.
- Pay the remaining programme fee at the institute fee counter or through the institute payment portal after adjustment of the seat acceptance fee paid online.
- Complete hostel room allocation and student ID registration as directed by the institute.
- Attend the mandatory B.Des orientation sessions scheduled by the department.
The allotted institute can cancel admission at any stage if submitted documents are found to be incorrect or fraudulent. Ensure every document is genuine and matches your UCEED 2026 application details exactly. Each IIT may have a different joining date and its own fee payment procedure beyond the common seat acceptance step on the UCEED portal.
