• If the difference <= 12 marks (20%), a simple average of the two examiners will be considered.
• If the difference > 12 marks (20%), the answer sheet of Part-B will be evaluated by a third examiner (and so on until the difference <= 20%). A simple average of the closest of 2 evaluators will be selected as the final marks.
• The total UCEED score will be calculated by adding the marks obtained in Part-A and Part-B. This total score will be used to prepare the final result/rank.

However, after the closing date, all institute choices and information filled in the applications are treated as FINAL. Requests for ANY changes in the application will be strictly NOT entertained.

Candidates may note that the offer of admission made to them during the online seat allocation process is provisional and will be confirmed by the admitting institutes only after the requisite fees are paid and the documents are duly verified.

Application Fee: The B. Des. admission application counselling processing fee for applicants of all categories and genders is ₹ 2000 (Rupees Two Thousand only). This fee is non-refundable and non-transferable.

Seat Allotment:

Three rounds of seat allocation will be conducted. However, once the seats are filled, the seat allocation will be closed. Seats will be provisionally allotted based on the applicant UCEED rank, category and choice of institutes. Selected candidates will be sent provisional allotment letters via their registered email, and will be directed to an online payment system to remit the Seat Acceptance Fee of ₹60,000 (Rupees Sixty Thousand only) for GEN/EWS/OBC-NCL and ₹15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand only) for SC/ST/PwD.

The joint seat allotment will be governed by the following rules:

• If the selected candidates do not remit the seat acceptance fee before the given deadline or decline the admission, their application will stand cancelled. These vacant seats will be filled during the subsequent rounds of seat allotment.
• If an applicant is allotted his/her FIRST choice of institute, the candidate can either ACCEPT (‘freeze’) the choice or DECLINE the offer. If the candidate chooses to DECLINE the offer, he/she will NOT be considered for subsequent rounds.
• If an applicant is allotted his/her SECOND/THIRD/FOURTH choice of institute, the candidate can opt to either ACCEPT (‘freeze’) the choice, or ACCEPT WITH THE OPTION TO BE CONSIDERED FOR UPWARD MOVEMENT (‘float’) the choice for subsequent round(s), if any, of the joint seat allocation.
• If the candidate chooses ‘freeze’ option, it means he/she has ACCEPTED the offer and does not wish to participate in further rounds of seat allocation. Such candidate will NOT be considered in subsequent rounds of admission.
• If the candidate chooses ‘float’ option, it means he/she has ACCEPTED the offer and has indicated that, if admission to an institute of his/her higher preference is offered, they will accept it. Else, they will continue with the currently accepted institute. Such candidates will be considered in subsequent rounds of admission.
• For candidates who choose the ‘float’ option, allocation of a seat in an institute of his/her higher preference would automatically result in the forfeiture of the seat accepted by him/her in the earlier round.
• Candidates offered seats have to remit seat acceptance fee only once. Thus, candidates who are allotted another seat (because they chose the ‘float’ option) do not have to pay seat acceptance fee again.
• For candidates who accept offered seat, the seat acceptance fee will be adjusted against the institute fees of the admitting institute at the time of joining. For candidates who decline the offered seat after remitting the seat acceptance fee, the refund of the seat acceptance fee will be governed by the policies of the admitting institute.
• If a candidate has paid the seat acceptance fee and opts for withdrawal after the first round and one day before the announcement of the third round will get a refund after deducting seat cancellation and processing charges of ₹ 5000 (Rupees five thousand only). Refund requests after the announcement of the third round will not be entertained and no refund shall be given thereafter.
• Candidates do not have an option to withdraw an accepted/allotted seat after the announcement of the last round of seat allocation.
• No refund is given post the 3rd round as there is no option of “float” of the seats after the 3rd round.

After the UCEED Counselling Procedure 2022 is completed or the B. Des. Admission Procedure is completed via UCEED 2022 the classes for the first year of the Bachelor of Design course at all the 4 Participating Institutes will start as per their respective schedules.
