Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay has officially commenced the counselling procedure for the Undergraduate Common Entrance Exam for Design (UCEED) 2025. Aspirants who have taken the UCEED 2025 examination and wish to take admission into Bachelor of Design (BDes) programs at several renowned institutions can now register for the counselling procedure on the official UCEED website at uceed.iitb.ac.in. UCEED is an important entrance examination for entry into BDes courses of IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Roorkee, IIITDM Jabalpur, and other institutions that admit students to their design courses based on the UCEED Score Card.

Counselling registration for UCEED 2025 has begun and interested candidates can keep registering until 5 pm, March 31, 2025. This is a significant milestone for those candidates who want to embark on a design career through the BDes programmes available at the participating colleges. The UCEED 2025 exam results were announced earlier in March 2025, and now the spotlight is on the counselling process that will enable the eligible candidates to apply for their preferred BDes courses.

The UCEED 2025 counselling is an important aspect of the admission process since it offers candidates a chance to select their desired institutions and courses, depending on their UCEED rank. The exam is the major entry point to design education at IITs and IIITDM, as well as other participating institutes that consider UCEED scores. The counselling itself is done with a view that candidates are positioned to choose colleges and courses according to their choices and rank acquired during the entrance test.

Dates for counselling registration were provided along with an obvious cutoff for finalization of the process on March 31, 2025, by 5 pm. Candidates should note that once the registration period is over, no applications will be entertained. Hence, all eligible candidates are required to ensure that they complete their registration on time. All the instructions and guidelines for registration will be made available on the UCEED 2025 counselling website, uceed.iitb.ac.in.

For those who might still be in doubt about the eligibility criteria, it is noteworthy that the UCEED 2025 test does have age limit specifications for various categories of candidates. For the OPEN, EWS, or OBC-NCL category candidates, the age is restricted to those born on or after October 1, 2000. For SC, ST, or PwD category candidates, the age is restricted to those born on or after October 1, 1995. This age requirement ensures that the candidate is within the required age group to apply for admission to BDes programmes under UCEED.

In addition to the eligibility criteria, applicants must also take note of the counselling process application fee. The non-refundable and non-transferable counselling registration processing fee is Rs 4,000 for applicants of both genders and categories. This payment is to be made in order to finish the registration process and will not be refunded. Applicants should make sure that they are ready to pay this when registering for the counselling process.

The UCEED 2025 counselling registration is crucial for those who want to be a part of the BDes courses at the participating colleges, and candidates are urged to get their registrations done as early as possible.
