UPES DAT Result 2027: Expected January 2027 at results.upes.ac.in, Merit List, Cutoff and Scorecard

The UPES DAT 2027 result will be published on the official portal at results.upes.ac.in by the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies (UPES), Dehradun. UPES conducts the Design Aptitude Test in two phases — Phase 1 around January and Phase 2 around May–June — with each phase’s result declared within 1–2 weeks of the last exam date of that phase. You will need your UPES Application Form Number and Date of Birth to access your result.

The UPES DAT result shows your total marks, section-wise performance across Visual Analogy and Design & General Awareness, your overall merit rank, and your category-wise merit rank. Qualifying in the written test takes you to the next stage: a Portfolio Presentation and Personal Interview organised by UPES within 8–10 days of result declaration.

• UPES DAT 2027 result will be published separately for Phase 1 (expected January–February 2027) and Phase 2 (expected June 2027) at results.upes.ac.in
• The scorecard contains total marks, section-wise marks (Visual Analogy + Design & General Awareness), overall merit rank, and category-wise merit rank
• There is no single published cutoff score — UPES shortlists candidates by merit rank for Portfolio Presentation and Personal Interview
• Shortlisted candidates must register for GD/PI within 8–10 days of result declaration — this window is short, so act quickly once results are out
• UPES also accepts scores from NID, NIFT, UCEED, JEE Main, and CUET-UG as alternative pathways — DAT results are ranked alongside these in a unified merit list

UPES prepares a unified merit list combining DAT scores and equivalent entrance exam scores (NID, NIFT, UCEED, JEE Main, CUET-UG) for final B.Des. seat allocation.

UPES DAT Result Previous Year Statistics

UPES does not officially publish aggregate statistics for the Design Aptitude Test — figures such as total registrations, number of candidates who appeared, or pass percentages are not released in any official press statement, brochure, or notification. The table below captures the exam schedule and result timeline pattern observed across recent cycles based on available information.

The multi-phase structure is one of UPES DAT’s biggest practical advantages — if you miss Phase 1 in January, you still have Phase 2 in May–June without waiting a full year. In 2025, UPES ran three phases, suggesting the university expanded testing windows to accommodate more applicants. UPES School of Design has also grown its B.Des. programme significantly, adding specializations in AI & Immersive Media Design, Robotics Design, and Film/Video/Photography in recent cycles — signalling rising demand for its design programmes and, by extension, growing competition for seats.

How to Check UPES DAT Result 2027

Once UPES declares the result for your exam phase, you can check and download your scorecard from results.upes.ac.in. Your result is also sent to your registered email address. Here are the steps to access it:

UPES DAT 2027 Qualifying Marks

UPES does not publish a fixed minimum score or cutoff mark for the DAT written test. Shortlisting for GD/PI is entirely merit-rank based — the top-ranked candidates in each phase get called for Portfolio Presentation and Personal Interview. The number of students shortlisted depends on the seats available across B.Des. specializations and the demand that cycle.

To be eligible to appear in UPES DAT 2027 in the first place, you must meet these academic requirements:

Since the final B.Des. merit list combines DAT scores with NID, NIFT, UCEED, JEE Main, and CUET-UG scores, you are competing with a wider pool of design aspirants. A higher DAT score directly improves your merit rank and your chance of a GD/PI call for your preferred specialization.
