IIT Bombay Opens UCEED, CEED 2027 Registration Amid Schedule Differences
IIT Bombay has started applications for two design entrance exams called UCEED and CEED.
UCEED is mainly for students who want to study for a Bachelor of Design degree.
CEED is for students seeking Master of Design or design PhD programmes.
UCEED applicants must have passed Class 12 in 2026 or be taking it in 2027.
CEED applicants generally need a qualifying degree or diploma lasting at least three years after Class 12.
Applications opened on October 1, 2026.
Students can apply without a late fee until October 31 and may apply later with an additional fee until November 6.
Both exams are planned for January 17, 2027, from 9 am to noon.
Different reports list different dates for admit cards, answer keys and results, so applicants should check the official websites.
