As of today, February 14, 2026, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay has entered the critical final phase of processing the results for the Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design (UCEED) 2026. Following the release of the final answer key on January 28, the examination committee has officially published the qualifying cut-off marks for Part A. This Milestone is significant because Part B answer booklets are only evaluated for those candidates who meet or exceed these specific marks. The evaluation for the descriptive Part B is currently being handled by multiple expert panels to ensure a fair and merit-based Result.

• Part A Cut-off Status: The official cut-off marks for Part A were announced on February 5, 2026, establishing the baseline for the current Shortlisting phase.
• Evaluation Standards: Part B is being manually evaluated, with the total Result score being a combination of Part A (computer-based) and Part B (drawing).
• Data Security: Candidates are strictly advised to rely only on the official UCEED candidate portal for any individual status updates.
• Tie-Breaking Policy: In cases where total marks are equal, a higher rank will be awarded to the candidate with superior marks in Part B.

Countdown to Scorecard Availability and Admission Cycles

With the result date firmly set for March 6, 2026, the administrative focus is shifting toward the logistics of seat allocation. The Shortlisting of candidates for the 2026-27 academic session will lead to a centralized counselling process involving seven premier institutes. Aspirants will be able to download their official Scorecard starting March 10, which will remain valid for exactly one year. It is important to note that no hard copies will be sent via post, and the digital Result will be the only verified document for institutional admissions.
