The B.Des needs UCEED, which IIT Bombay itself runs. UCEED 2027 is on 17 January 2027, from 09:00 to 12:00. The B.Des is not in JoSAA, so UCEED is the only route.

In the IIT Bombay admission procedure for the M.Tech, you apply on the online application portal after GATE. TA, TAP, RA and RAP applicants also register on the Common Offer Acceptance Portal.

Not for the B.Tech. IIT Bombay admission to the B.Tech, Dual Degree and B.S. goes through JEE Advanced and JoSAA. The M.Tech has a direct admission round on the basis of a GATE score on the portal. Divisions may also give direct admission on the entrance test result alone, without a test or interview.
You apply online on the IIT Bombay application portal when the cycle opens. The IIT Bombay admission procedure for the Ph.D. is a written test and an interview. The category depends on your funding, such as TA, RA, fellowship, sponsored or self-financed. Strong candidates can also be nominated for the PMRF after they join.
IIT Bombay admission for the B.Tech depends only on the JEE Advanced rank and the seat you choose in JoSAA. The IIT Bombay admission criteria for selection have no interview for the B.Tech. For other courses, the selection basis is as below.

Not for the B.Tech, Dual Degree or B.S. The IIT Bombay admission process for the MBA and Ph.D. includes an interview. The M.Tech may include a written test or interview, as the division decides. The division announces the date for each cycle.
Class 12 marks only decide if you are eligible. You need 75%, or 65% for SC, ST and PwD candidates, or a place in your board's top 20 percentile. Seats are then allotted by JEE Advanced rank, not by Class 12 marks.
IIT Bombay admission counselling for the B.Tech is done by JoSAA in five rounds. These IIT Bombay admission details apply to the 2026 batch. The IIT Bombay admission procedure for the next batch will follow the JoSAA 2027 schedule. Round 5 was the final round for IITs. JoSAA 2026 ran from 13 June 2026 to 21 July 2026. IIT Bombay does not hold its own counselling for the B.Tech, so the IIT Bombay admission process ends in JoSAA.
In each round, you log in to JoSAA and check your seat. If you get a seat, you accept it, upload documents and pay the seat acceptance fee. The fee was Rs 30,000, or Rs 15,000 for SC, ST and PwD candidates. It includes Rs 5,000 of JoSAA processing charges. The IIT Bombay admission details on fees, including the adjustment of the rest, are on the fees page.
