CEED 2026 Participating Institutes List Revised as the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has updated the institutes accepting CEED scores for MDes admissions. Candidates planning to appear for the design entrance exam must review the revised list carefully. The updated information will help applicants make informed choices during the admission process.
The Common Entrance Examination for Design (CEED) 2026 will serve as the gateway for admission to Master of Design (MDes) and related postgraduate design programmes offered by leading institutions across India.
CEED 2026 Participating Institutes for MDes Admission
The revised list includes premier Indian Institutes of Technology and other leading design schools that accept CEED scores. Admission to these institutes is subject to meeting eligibility criteria, qualifying the exam, and clearing further selection rounds.
Some of the key participating institutes include:
- Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay)
- Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi)
- Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT Guwahati)
- Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IIT Hyderabad)
- Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT Kanpur)
- Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee)
- Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (IIT Jodhpur)
- Indian Institute of Science Bengaluru (IISc Bengaluru)
Apart from these, several other institutes and universities may also accept CEED 2026 scores for design admissions. However, candidates must verify programme-specific eligibility and seat intake directly from the respective institute’s admission brochure.
CEED 2026 Admission and Counselling Process
It is important to note that CEED 2026 will only serve as a qualifying examination. The organising institute, IIT Bombay, will conduct the entrance test and declare the CEED 2026 result, but it will not conduct a centralised counselling process.
Each participating institute will release its own:
- MDes application form 2026
- Admission notification
- Cut-off marks
- Merit list
- Interview or design test schedule
Candidates must apply separately to each institute after the declaration of the CEED 2026 result. Shortlisting is typically based on CEED scores, followed by studio tests and personal interviews.
What Candidates Should Do Next
Applicants planning for CEED 2026 admission are advised to:
- Regularly check the official CEED website for notifications
- Track individual institute admission announcements
- Review eligibility criteria and programme specialisations
- Prepare required documents for the application process
The revised participating institute list plays a crucial role in admission planning. Aspirants must stay updated with official notifications to ensure timely submission of applications and participation in the selection rounds.
