UCEED Seat Allotment 2023

The allotment of seats in UCEED 2023 depends on several factors, including the applicant's rank, category, and institute preferences. Provisionally selected candidates will receive their allotment letter via registered email ID and are required to pay a seat acceptance fee of INR 60,000 for General/OBC/EWS and INR 15,000 for other reserved categories. The conducting authority sets the rules for seat allocation, which are as follows:

  • Failure to pay the seat acceptance fee before the deadline or decline the admission offer will result in the cancellation of the UCEED 2023 application. These vacant seats will be filled during further UCEED 2023 seat allotment rounds.
  • If the candidate receives their first-choice institute, they may either accept (freeze) the choice or reject the seat offer.
  • If the candidate receives their second or third institute preference, they may either accept (freeze) the choice or select the option to be considered for upward movement (Float).
  • Candidates may withdraw an allotted seat only after the final round of seat allocation has been published by IIT Bombay.
  • Admissions are granted for the Bachelor of Design (B.Des) programs at IIT Bombay, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Guwahati, IIITDM Jabalpur, and other participating institutes.
