Hello Saumya,

As of now, Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT) has not officially released the specific opening and closing UCEED ranks for B.Des admissions for candidates from outside the Delhi region. The available information primarily focuses on the selection process and seat allocation.

Selection Priorities for B.Des at NSUT:

1. First Priority: Candidates who have cleared the UCEED exam conducted by IIT Bombay.
   
   

2. Second Priority: Candidates with a rank in a national-level design entrance examination (or allied fields) for a four-year course at any centrally funded institute/university.
   
   

3. Third Priority: Candidates with a rank in a state-level design entrance examination (or allied fields) for a four-year course at any state government-funded institute/university.

For Outside Delhi Region Candidates , 15% of the seats are allocated.

Given the limited availability of seats and the prioritization criteria, securing admission as an outside Delhi candidate is competitive. It's advisable to aim for a high UCEED rank to enhance your chances.

Recommendations:

• Regularly Check Official Sources: Keep an eye on NSUT's official website and the UCEED portal for any updates on cutoff ranks and admission criteria.
  
  

• Prepare Thoroughly for UCEED: Achieving a high score will significantly improve your prospects, especially given the competitive nature of the program.
  
  

• Consider Backup Options: Explore other reputable design institutes that accept UCEED scores to broaden your opportunities.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to ask. We will be happy to assist you.

Thank You and wishing you a bright future ahead.

Hello Daksh,

Your son narrowly missed the UCEED Part 1 cutoff but can still explore private design colleges that accept UCEED scores, such as MIT Pune, UPES Dehradun, Srishti Bangalore , and Anant National University .

Alternatively, he can apply for B.Des programs through NID DAT, NIFT, or other private universities offering strong design courses. If he’s passionate about design, he can also prepare for UCEED 2026 and reattempt.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello Kritika,

This will not affect your NIFT B.Des examination result. Here’s why:

1. Common Issue – Many candidates forget extra photos, and NIFT provides a standard declaration form for such cases.
2. Declaration Form Signed – Since you filled and submitted the declaration, your attendance is recorded.
3. Admit Card Taken – Authorities collected it as part of their procedure, ensuring no rule violation.
4. No Impact on Evaluation – Results depend on your performance, not administrative formalities.
5. Confirm with NIFT – If concerned, contact NIFT's admission office for reassurance.

You're safe, but keep extra photos next time!

Wishing you the best !

Hello

the B.Des Common Entrance Test (CET) to aid in your exam preparation. While specific sample papers for B.Des CET may not be readily available , practicing with sample papers from similar design entrance exams can be highly beneficial. Here are some resources you can utilize:

1. NID Sample Papers : The National Institute of Design (NID) entrance exam assesses design aptitude and creativity, similar to B.Des CET. Practicing these papers can help you get a feel for the types of questions you might encounter.

2. UCEED Sample Papers : The Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design (UCEED) is another exam that evaluates design skills. Reviewing these sample papers can provide additional practice.

3. MAH-AAC-CET Sample Papers : The Maharashtra Applied Arts and Crafts Common Entrance Test (MAH-AAC-CET) includes sections on design aptitude and general knowledge, which can be relevant for your preparation.

hope this helps you .

ALL THE BEST
