Tezpur University Department of Design Joins UCEED and CEED 2026 Result Sharing Institutes The Department of Design at Tezpur University, Assam has joined the list of institutes that will accept UCEED and CEED 2026 results for admission to design programmes. The university will now be part of the result-sharing institutes, allowing candidates to use their national-level design entrance exam scores for admission consideration. The Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design (UCEED) and the Common Entrance Examination for Design (CEED) are conducted by IIT Bombay for admission to undergraduate and postgraduate design programmes across India.
Tezpur University Added to UCEED and CEED Result-Sharing Institutes
Tezpur University has officially been included among the institutions that accept scores from these national design entrance examinations. As a result-sharing institute, the university will consider UCEED and CEED scores during its admission process. The official list of UCEED 2026 result-sharing institutes includes several universities and design schools across India, and Tezpur University, Assam has now been added to this group. Unlike the core participating institutes, result-sharing institutes do not take part in the centralised seat allocation process conducted by IIT Bombay. Instead, they use the entrance exam scores for shortlisting candidates according to their own admission criteria.
What Result-Sharing Institute Status Means for Candidates?
Institutes that are classified as result-sharing institutions accept entrance exam scores but conduct their own independent admission procedures. Candidates must apply separately to these universities after the exam results are declared. Typically, the admission process in such institutes may include:
- Shortlisting based on UCEED or CEED scores
- Portfolio review or design aptitude assessment
- Personal interview or additional evaluation
- Final selection based on overall performance
This system allows universities to evaluate candidates beyond their exam scores while still considering national-level entrance test performance.
UCEED and CEED Exams for Design Admissions
Both examinations are national-level design entrance tests conducted annually by IIT Bombay. They are used for admission to leading design institutions in India. Key details of the examinations include:
- UCEED: Entrance exam for Bachelor of Design (BDes) programmes
- CEED: Entrance exam for Master of Design (MDes) and PhD in Design
- Conducted by IIT Bombay
- Scores accepted by IITs and several other design institutes
Participating IITs include IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Indore, IIT Roorkee, and IIITDM Jabalpur, which admit students through a centralised seat allocation process.
Design Education Opportunities Expand with New Institute
The inclusion of Tezpur University expands the network of institutions that consider UCEED and CEED 2026 scores for design admissions. Candidates who qualify these examinations now have an additional government university option for pursuing design studies.Applicants interested in design programmes at Tezpur University must follow the university’s individual admission guidelines and application process after the entrance exam results are declared.
