Jain (Deemed-to-be-University) in Bangalore will now accept UCEED and CEED 2026 exam scores for admissions to its Bachelor of Design (BDes) and Master of Design (MDes) programs. This update applies to the 2026-2027 academic year , offering students another way to enter design courses using these national-level exam results.
This means if you have taken UCEED 2026 for undergraduate design or CEED 2026 for postgraduate design, your scores can be used to apply to Jain University. Remember, Jain University is a 'result-sharing institute'. It will use your scores but is not part of the common admission process run by IIT Bombay for other top design schools. Students interested in Jain University must apply directly to their chosen design programs.
What are UCEED and CEED Exams?
UCEED is the Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design . Conducted by IIT Bombay , it is a national exam for students seeking BDes courses after 12th standard. The exam tests drawing skills, observation, aptitude, and logical thinking.
CEED , or Common Entrance Examination for Design , is also a national exam by IIT Bombay . It is for students aiming for MDes or Ph.D. in Design programs. CEED helps colleges find candidates with strong design understanding for higher studies.
