BITS Design School B.Des Admission through UCEED 2026: The Birla Institute of Technology and Sciences (BITS) Design School in Mumbai has announced that it will accept the UCEED 2026 scores for admission to the B.Des course for the academic year 2026-27. This move offers admission to the institute to aspirants, apart from the BITS Design Aptitude Test (BITSDAT), which the institute conducts itself.

According to the official BITS Design School website, UCEED, NID-DAT, or BITSDAT can be utilised by aspirants for the four-year B.Des (Honors) course offered by the institute. For BITS Design School Admission in 2026, the online application will open on October 16, 2025 , and close on February 1, 2026 . Short-listed candidates will be called for a personal interview and portfolio review in March 2026 . The institute-level entrance exam BITSDAT will also happen around the same time. On the other hand, the UCEED 2026 application form was released on October 1 , and the last date to complete the online registration is October 31.

Although BITS Design School is not yet officially listed as one of the participating institutes in the centralised UCEED 2026 admission process on the UCEED official website, maintained by IIT Bombay, the college has independently confirmed that UCEED scores will be accepted as part of its eligibility and selection criteria. What this essentially means is that those students who qualify for UCEED 2026 will also be able to apply to BITS Design School by submitting their UCEED scores.

The UCEED is an all-India exam administered by IIT Bombay for admission to the B.Des courses at the participating institutes, which are IITB, IITD, IITG, IITH, IIITD, and IITR. The UCEED 2026 exam will take place on January 18, 2026, between 9 AM to 12 Noon .
