GENERAL 1
INFORMATION
UCEED 2017 will be conducted by Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, under the guidance of the UCEED Admissions Committee 2017.
UCEED 2017 is open to all nationals (Indian/Foreign). Candidates seeking admission to the Bachelor Degree programme in Design (B. Des.) at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB), Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IITG) and Indian Institute of Information Technology Design and Manufacturing Jabalpur (IIITDMJ) must appear in UCEED 2017.
Candidates should note that the mere appearance in UCEED 2017 or being in the rank list neither guarantees nor provides any automatic entitlement to admission. UCEED qualified candidates will have to apply separately for B. Des admissions as per
the prescribed procedure described in Part 2 of the Information Brochure. Admissions shall be made in order of merit in each category.
UCEED 2017 score is valid only for admission to the academic year 2017-2018.
With regard to the interpretation of the provisions on any matter not covered in this Information Brochure, the decision of the Organizing Institute (IIT Bombay) shall be final and binding on all the parties concerned.
In all matters concerning UCEED 2017, the decision of the Organizing Institute or the Organizing Chairperson, UCEED 2017 will be final and binding on all the applicants.
Although UCEED 2017 is held at different centres across the country, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay is the Organizing Institute and has the overall responsibility of conducting UCEED 2017. In case of any claims or disputes arising in respect of UCEED 2017, it is hereby made absolutely clear that the Mumbai High Court alone shall have the
exclusive jurisdiction to entertain and settle any such claims and disputes.
2 SCHEDULE OF UCEED 2017
UCEED is a centre based, computer based examination of 3 hours duration and will be held as per the following schedule:
Date:
Sunday, January 22, 2017
Session 1:
10:00 to 13:00
Session 2 (Reserve): 14:00 to 17:00
Every effort will be made to complete the examination in Session 1. In the unlikely event of any technical problem in any of the exam centres, the exam may be conducted in Session 2, only for those candidates in the affected centres.
Candidates appearing for UCEED 2017 are therefore advised to make their travel arrangements accordingly.
In case the exam is conducted in Session 2, the question paper will be different from that of Session 1, but with the same number of questions, same total marks and with similar difficulty levels, which will be moderated for consistency and parity.
CITIES WHERE UCEED 2017 3
WILL BE HELD
UCEED 2017 will be held in the following 19 cities in India: Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indore, Jaipur, Kanpur, Kolkata,
Kozhikode, Mumbai, Nagpur, Patna, Pune, Raipur
and Thiruvananthapuram.
Candidates should compulsorily opt 3 cities of their choice, in the order of preference, at the time of online application. Once the application is submitted, request for change of city will NOT be entertained under any circumstances.
If enough number of candidates are not available in a listed city, then that city may be dropped from the final list, and those candidates will be allotted a centre in the city of either their second choice or third choice. Additionally, because of operational
contingencies, the UCEED 2017 Committee reserves the right to add a new city/town or remove an existing one and allot a city/town that may not be among any of the choices of a candidate.
A listed city may have more than one examination centre. A request for change of a centre within the same city/town will NOT be permitted under any circumstances.

Candidates who are NOT citizens of India at the time of registering for UCEED 2017 (by birth or
naturalization) are treated as foreign nationals. Seats allotted to foreign nationals are supernumerary with a cap of 10% of total available seats in the course.
The availability of supernumerary seats will be announced at the time of seat allocation.
The seats allotted to OCI/PIO card holders will be under Open category, but not supernumerary.

-

-
Candidates belonging to the OBC-NCL, SC, ST and PwD categories will be declared as qualified on the basis of a relaxed criterion [see 18. RANK LISTS].

If an applicant is allotted his/her SECOND or THIRD 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.
-
In the freezing option, candidates ACCEPT the offer and indicate that they do not want to
participate in further rounds of seat allocation. Such candidates will NOT be considered in subsequent rounds of admission.
-
In the floating option, candidates ACCEPT the offered seat and indicate 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 will be governed by the policies of the admitting institute.
