DTU BDes cutoff 2025 with Round 1, Round 2 and Round 3 opening and closing marks, category-wise seat matrix, and a practical estimate for DTU BDes cutoff 2026 through UCEED.
The DTU BDes cutoff 2025 moved very differently across Delhi and Non-Delhi categories. The biggest movement happened in Delhi General, which closed at 137.77 in Round 1, 126.74 in Round 2, and 111.11 in Round 3. In Non-Delhi categories, the DTU BDes closing marks stayed much higher and movement was far tighter, especially outside a few OBC and SC seats.
If you are checking the DTU BDes closing marks, remember the core rule first: DTU uses your UCEED score, not AIR and not category rank by itself.
If you are searching for DTU BDes cutoff 2025, DTU UCEED cutoff, DTU BDes marks required, or DTU BDes Round 1 / Round 2 / Round 3 cutoff, this page brings the full 2025 counselling data into one place.
DTU considers your UCEED score for admission. What matters is your total score including Part A + Part B. AIR and category rank can be useful reference points, but they are not the actual basis on which this cutoff data should be read.
This page compiles DTU BDes cutoff 2025 data across all three counselling rounds, along with the DTU BDes seat matrix 2025, the DTU BDes closing marks by category, and a practical note on what this may suggest for DTU BDes cutoff 2026.
Quick Quiz
For DTU BDes admissions through UCEED, what matters most?
If you want more context on how UCEED scores behave, see What Is a Good Score in UCEED 2027? and UCEED Exam Pattern and Marking Scheme.
The immediate pattern is that Delhi category cutoffs fell much more in later rounds, while Non-Delhi DTU BDes cutoff movement was limited.
| Category | Delhi | Non-Delhi |
|---|---|---|
| General | 37 | 6 |
| EWS | 9 | 2 |
| OBC | 25 | 4 |
| SC | 14 | 3 |
| ST | 7 | 1 |
There are also additional seats across sub-categories:
That brings the total seats in DTU BDes to 122.
| Category | Opening Marks | Closing Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Delhi Gen | 174.11 | 137.77 |
| Delhi EWS | 118.40 | 79.77 |
| Delhi OBC | 130.69 | 78.82 |
| Delhi SC | 133.45 | 73.95 |
| Delhi ST | 80.77 | 65.69 |
| Non-Delhi Gen | 174.08 | 168.95 |
| Non-Delhi EWS | 152.24 | 151.27 |
| Non-Delhi OBC | 163.40 | 112.11 |
| Non-Delhi SC | 125.45 | 112.11 |
| Non-Delhi ST | 100.66 | - |
The standout numbers in the DTU BDes Round 1 cutoff 2025 data were:
| Category | Opening Marks | Closing Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Delhi Gen | 137.24 | 126.74 |
| Delhi EWS | 99.98 | - |
| Delhi OBC | 75.45 | - |
| Delhi SC | 96.11 | 65.40 |
| Non-Delhi Gen | 167.45 | - |
| Non-Delhi OBC | 152.53 | 150.03 |
| Non-Delhi SC | 133.45 | 123.32 |
Round 2 is where vacancy-driven movement became clearly visible, especially in Delhi General and Delhi SC.
| Category | Opening Marks | Closing Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Delhi Gen | 126.74 | 111.11 |
| Delhi SC | 63.82 | 47.98 |
| Non-Delhi OBC | 148.45 | 143.24 |
| Non-Delhi SC | 111.45 | - |
By Round 3, the strongest late movement was still concentrated in Delhi categories. This is the main pattern students should take away from the DTU BDes Round 3 cutoff 2025 data.
The biggest visible movement happened in Delhi categories, especially Delhi General and Delhi SC, where seats continued to appear across later rounds.
If you are outside Delhi, the data suggests there was not much waitlist movement after Round 1. By Round 3, the number of offers in non-Delhi categories was very small.
This is the simplest way to read the later rounds. If a category disappears, it usually means those earlier seat holders did not withdraw.
For students who want the fastest possible view of the lowest visible DTU BDes closing marks in 2025, here are the latest category-wise closings visible in the available rounds:
| Category | Lowest Visible Closing Marks in 2025 |
|---|---|
| Delhi General | 111.11 |
| Delhi EWS | 79.77 |
| Delhi OBC | 78.82 |
| Delhi SC | 47.98 |
| Delhi ST | 65.69 |
| Non-Delhi General | 168.95 |
| Non-Delhi EWS | 151.27 |
| Non-Delhi OBC | 143.24 |
| Non-Delhi SC | 123.32 |
| Non-Delhi ST | - |
This table is useful for students searching specifically for DTU BDes closing marks category wise rather than full round data.
There is no single universal answer because the marks required for DTU BDes depend on:
Looking only at 2025 data, a Delhi candidate had meaningful movement into much lower score bands in later rounds, while Non-Delhi candidates generally needed much stronger marks with less waitlist movement.
In practical terms:
No one can predict the exact DTU closing marks for 2026 before the full counselling data is out. But if you want a working estimate, this is the reasonable takeaway from the 2025 to 2026 shift:
Because of that, using 2025 closing marks +10 to +15 as a rough estimation band for 2026 is a practical approach. It is still only an estimate, not an official prediction.
If you are projecting your chances for next year, use this page as a baseline DTU BDes cutoff reference, then compare it against your current UCEED score using What Is a Good Score in UCEED 2027?.
DTU BDes admissions are based on your UCEED score. In practical terms, students should focus on marks, not just AIR or category rank.
Yes. The 2025 counselling data shows a clear difference between Delhi and Non-Delhi cutoff movement, seat counts, and closing marks.
Yes, there was a SPOT round if vacant seats remained, but the marks data for that round is not available in the PDFs used here.
The strongest movement was in Delhi General and Delhi SC across later rounds. Non-Delhi movement was much more limited.

If more reliable SPOT round data becomes available later, this page should be updated with that final movement as well.
