Hello Chinmay,

Cutoffs, every year,  are decided by taking into account factors like the number of candidates appearing for the exam, the difficulty level of the paper, the number of seats available for the candidates and the previous years'  cut-offs to some extent.

IIT Bombay will conduct UCEED Joint Admission Counselling for the admission of students to the B.Des courses offered by IIT-B, IIT Guwahati, IIITDM and IIT Hyderabad(batch starting this year).

These previous years' cut-off ranks will give you a fair idea about your position and chances.

You can apply for other good institutes as well. These are-

Central Institute of Technology(Kokrajhar)

Nirma University

Lovely Professional University(Phagwara)

VIT University

UPES Dehradun

Delhi Technological University

MIT World Peace University(Pune)

U.P. Institute of Design(Noida)

World University of design(Delhi)

Chandigarh University

Shristi Institute of Art design and technology(Bengaluru)

Chitkara University(Punjab), and,

Khyati school of Design(Ahmedabad)

These institutes are going to take candidates for their Undergraduate course based on the UCEED score but will not take part in the joint admission counselling conducted by IIT Bombay. You need to visit their official sites and apply to these institutes directly according to your UCEED score but every institute will have their own admission procedure to be followed for admission.

There are limited seats in IITs and other renowned institutes for B.Des programmes. So your chances in any institute will completely depend on the number of applicants for the institute and their ranks as there exists huge competition among the aspirants in every field.

Hope it helps! You can revert back for any further queries.

All the Best!
