Ques. What does it mean, as the cutoff given for Part A of UCEED 2026 is 68.35? Is it that this year it is overall low scoring for all candidates?
Ans. That number refers to the minimum qualifying marks in Part A required to evaluate your Part B and be included in the rank list. It is not the IIT admission cutoff. A cutoff this high generally suggests the paper was moderate to easy or that candidates performed well overall, not that it was a low-scoring year.
How is UCEED Shortlisting Cutoff Calculated Based on Part A?
IIT Bombay has provided the formula to calculate the UCEED cutoff in its official Information Bulletin:
- General (Open Category) - Cutoff = μ + (0.5 × σ)
- OBC-NCL / EWS - Cutoff = 0.9 × (General Cutoff)
- SC / ST / PwD- Cutoff = 0.5 × (General Cutoff)

Ques. Does UCEED have a separate Part B cutoff?
Ans. There is NO separate official “Part B cutoff” score announced independently.
Ques. How is UCEED Part B evaluated?
Ans. UCEED Part B is evaluated based on the conditions as discussed in the table below.
Once you clear Part A, your Part B is evaluated, and your final rank is calculated using this formula:
- Total Score = Part A + Part B
Final admission depends on All India Rank (AIR), category, institute preference, and seat availability, not just the qualifying cutoff.
| Condition | Action |
|---|---|
| The difference in marks between two evaluators <= 10 marks | Take a simple average of the two evaluations. |
| Difference in marks > 10 | A third evaluator will be consulted, and the evaluation continues until the difference is <= 10 marks. |
| After several evaluations, if the difference remains > 10 | A moderator will examine the answers. |
| Moderator's Evaluation | If the moderator's evaluation differs from the two previous ones, the higher average of the closest evaluations will be considered. |
Ques. How many marks at least do I require to clear the UCEED exam to get into a good institute?
Ans. To qualify for the UCEED and get a rank, the general category needs around 120+ marks minimum. The OBC/EWS candidates will require 95–105+ marks to get admission into a good institute.
