On February 6, 2025, IIT Bombay will disclose the cut-off marks for Part A of the CEED. The cut-offs will be given as mean and standard deviations. The average and standard deviation for Part A (CEED 2024) were 41.90 and 16.72, respectively. The Part A cut-off, also known as qualifying marks, is the minimum score required to be shortlisted. Note that the Part B answer sheet will only be considered if the candidate meets the Part A cut-off.
Additionally, all shortlisted candidates are given a CEED merit rank. It is important to note that the Part A cut-off does not correspond to the admission cut-off. The admission cut-off is the minimal score or rank required for admission to the M.Des program. IIT Bombay will hold the CEED 2025 test on January 19, 2025. The results will be announced on March 5, 2025.
CEED 2025 Cut-off for Part A Admission
There will be two deadlines for CEED 2025.
- Part A cut-off - The minimal mark required in Part to be shortlisted. The Part B answer booklet will only be assessed if the candidate is shortlisted. The Part A cut-off date will be set in February 2025.
- Admission cut-off - The participating institutes will prepare this cut-off based on parameters such as the number of applications, applicants' merit ranks, seat intake, candidate category, and so on. The admissions cut-off will be announced at the time of seat allocation.
- The merit rank (used for admission) is calculated by weighting Part A 25% and Part B 75%.
