Eligibility for UCEED 2024 with a 2022 12th Board Exam and Beyond

Are you a student who completed your 12th board exams in 2022 and are now looking ahead to the UCEED (Unified Counsel for Entrance Exam in Design) in 2024? The good news is that you are indeed eligible. You can explore the past years' papers at Trendz Academy, which will provide you with a clear understanding of the exam's level and kind.

Is It Possible to Apply for UCEED 2024 with a 2022 12th Board Exam?

Yes, you are eligible! Students appearing for the 102 board exam in 2024 are eligible to apply for admission under UCEED. However, to maintain your qualification, you must pass the qualifying exam at the time of admission. Any failure to do so will result in the cancellation of your candidature for admission to an undergraduate design program.

Eligibility for Multiple Exam Years

Did you know that you can attempt UCEED for two consecutive years even if you have passed your 12th board exams in 2022? There is no age limit, and you have the flexibility to appear in one or both years. However, you need to pass all subjects in the qualifying examination, be it your 12th in 2022 or plan to take it in 2024. Students from all academic streams, including Science, Commerce, Arts, and Humanities, are eligible to apply to various institutions.

Eligibility for Specific Streams

Depending on your stream, some institutions may have additional eligibility requirements. Here are the details:

Science Stream with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics

Candidates from the Science stream, with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, are eligible to apply to all five participating institutes—IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, and IIITDM Jabalpur. Additionally, for admission to BDes (Bachelor of Design) at IIITDM Jabalpur, students must have Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (or Biology) as subjects from 102.

Science Stream without Mathematics or Physics/Chemistry

For IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, and IIT Hyderabad, candidates from any other stream (Science without Mathematics or Physics/Chemistry, Commerce, Arts, or Humanities) are also eligible to apply. However, for IIT Guwahati, only the Science stream with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics is eligible.
