IIT Bombay opened registration for the Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design (UCEED) 2027 today. Forms go live at 1 pm IST on October 1, 2026. Aspirants should finish the form by October 31 to avoid late fee. The late-fee window remains available till November 6. Register early to bypass server rush near the deadline.
Candidates targeting Bachelor of Design admissions through UCEED should confirm eligibility before paying fees. Read the brochure for academic requirements, age rules, and attempt limits. Many design schools accept UCEED scores, but their criteria may differ. Confirm institute-wise policies on year of passing and category relaxations.

Mark the core timeline before drafting responses and uploading images. Only fee payment confirms submission; save the receipt for records. Expect heavy traffic near cut-offs; finish a day earlier if possible. Use the calendar below to plan buffers.
