Assam CEE 2026 Total Marks and Exam Overview
Assam CEE is an offline engineering entrance exam held annually by ASTU, serving as the gateway to B.E./B.Tech programs at government engineering colleges in Assam. The 2026 exam pattern is as follows:
| Detail | Specification |
|---|---|
| Conducting Body | Assam Science and Technology University (ASTU) |
| Mode | Offline (pen-and-paper) |
| Duration | 3 hours (180 minutes) |
| Total Questions | 120 (40 each — Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) |
| Total Marks | 480 |
| Marks per Correct Answer | +4 |
| Negative Marking | ?1 per wrong answer |
| Score of 350 (as a percentage) | 72.9% |
A score of 350 marks means you answered approximately 91 questions correctly with no errors — or a mix of correct and incorrect responses netting 350. This places you in the top 5% of all Assam CEE test takers, based on historical participation and score distributions.
Expected Rank for 350 Marks in Assam CEE 2026
Students scoring between 350 and 399 marks in Assam CEE can expect a general-category rank of 51–200, based on 2024–25 score distribution data. The table below maps score bands to approximate ranks across the full range:
| Marks Range (out of 480) | Percentage | Expected General Category Rank |
|---|---|---|
| 400–480 | 83–100% | 1–50 |
| 350–399 | 73–83% | 51–200 |
| 300–349 | 63–73% | 201–800 |
| 250–299 | 52–63% | 801–2,000 |
| 200–249 | 42–52% | 2,001–7,500 |
| 150–199 | 31–42% | 7,501–15,000 |
| Below 150 | Below 31% | 15,000+ |
All rank projections are expected figures based on 2024–25 Assam CEE trends. Actual 2026 ranks will be published on astu.ac.in after result declaration.
Year-to-year variation applies. A harder 2026 paper compresses scores at the top, potentially improving the rank for 350 marks. An easier paper increases high-scorer competition, pushing the rank slightly higher. The 51–200 band is the best reference available before the official result.
Category-wise Rank Estimate at 350 Marks
ASTU publishes separate rank lists for each reservation category. Students in OBC/MOBC, SC, ST-Plains (STP), ST-Hills (STH), and EWS categories compete within their own pools, and those category ranks drive seat allotment — not the overall rank. The table below estimates category-specific ranks at 350 marks:
| Category | Estimated Category Rank at 350 Marks |
|---|---|
| General / UR | 51–200 |
| OBC / MOBC | 30–120 |
| SC | 20–70 |
| ST-Plains (STP) | 15–50 |
| ST-Hills (STH) | 10–35 |
| EWS | 40–150 |
Category rank estimates are based on 2024–25 competition data and are not official figures. Actual category ranks will be published with the Assam CEE 2026 result.
SC and ST students scoring 350 marks are well-positioned for reserved seats in premier branches at AEC Guwahati. In 2024, AEC CSE closed at rank 86 for SC students — meaning students with an SC category rank of 86 or better can access AEC CSE. At 350 marks, the estimated SC category rank of 20–70 puts this firmly within range.
College Chances with 350 Marks in Assam CEE 2026
At an expected general-category rank of 51–200, students scoring 350 marks have strong admission prospects at most government engineering colleges in Assam. The table below compares 2024 actual closing ranks (UR) with the expected rank range for this score:
| College | Branch | 2024 UR Closing Rank | Chances at Expected Rank 51–200 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assam Engineering College (AEC), Guwahati | CSE | 80 | Borderline — rank 51–80 likely; 81–200 unlikely |
| Assam Engineering College (AEC), Guwahati | ECE | 188 | Borderline — rank 51–188 likely; near 200 is tight |
| Assam Engineering College (AEC), Guwahati | EE | ~370 (expected 2026) | Very Good |
| Assam Engineering College (AEC), Guwahati | Mechanical Engineering | 411 | Very Good |
| Assam Engineering College (AEC), Guwahati | Civil Engineering | 534 | Very Good |
| Jorhat Engineering College (JEC) | CSE | 341 | Very Good |
| Jorhat Engineering College (JEC) | EE / Civil / Mechanical | 728–950 | Excellent |
| Bineswar Brahma Engineering College (BBEC), Kokrajhar | All branches | 1,879–2,878 | Excellent |
Closing ranks are from Assam CEE 2024 counselling. Expected 2026 cutoffs may vary by ±10–15% depending on exam difficulty and total participation. These figures are based on 2024 actual data for reference only.
Key takeaway: Students scoring 350 marks have strong options at AEC Guwahati for EE, Mechanical, and Civil branches (all close well past rank 200), a very good shot at JEC CSE (closes at rank 341), and near-certain admission at BBEC Kokrajhar for all branches. AEC CSE — the most competitive programme in Assam — requires a rank of 80 or better, making it accessible only for students at the higher end of this score band.
How Assam CEE Rank Is Calculated
ASTU determines merit rank entirely on the basis of Assam CEE written exam performance. Class 12 board marks are not used in rank calculation. The rules are straightforward:
- Total marks secured out of 480 determine the primary rank — higher marks equal a better (lower) rank number.
- Tie-breaking order: Marks in Mathematics ? then Chemistry ? then Physics. The student with higher Mathematics marks gets the better rank in a tie.
- Category rank lists are published separately for UR, OBC/MOBC, SC, STP, STH, and EWS, and these category ranks drive seat allotment during counselling.
- A student who belongs to OBC or SC also holds a category rank. Even if your overall rank is 150, your OBC category rank may be 40–50 — opening doors to reserved seats in highly competitive branches.
During Assam CEE 2026 counselling on cee.dtecounselling.in, you fill in a ranked list of college and branch preferences. Seats are allotted using your category rank and your choice order. Students scoring 350 marks should fill AEC CSE and ECE as aspirational choices while listing JEC and other colleges as safer options to avoid missing a seat.
Assam CEE 2026 350 Marks FAQs
Ques. What is the total marks for Assam CEE 2026?
Ans. Assam CEE 2026 is conducted for a total of 480 marks. The exam has 120 questions — 40 each from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics — with +4 marks per correct answer and a penalty of ?1 for every wrong answer. No marks are deducted for unattempted questions.
Ques. What rank can I expect for 350 marks in Assam CEE 2026?
Ans. Based on 2024–25 trends, a score of 350 marks in Assam CEE 2026 is expected to fetch a general-category rank of 51–200. Students in reserved categories (OBC/MOBC, SC, ST) will have lower category ranks — typically ranging from 10–120 depending on category — which can significantly improve college and branch access.
Ques. Can I get Assam Engineering College Guwahati with 350 marks?
Ans. Yes, for most branches. AEC Guwahati CSE closed at rank 80 in 2024, so it is accessible only if your rank falls between 51 and 80. However, AEC ECE (closes ~rank 188), EE (~rank 370), Mechanical (~rank 411), and Civil (~rank 534) are all well within the expected rank range of 51–200 for a score of 350 marks.
Ques. Is 350 out of 480 a good score in Assam CEE 2026?
Ans. Yes, 350 out of 480 (72.9%) is an excellent score in Assam CEE. It places you in the top 200 general-category rankers (expected), giving you access to most branches at premier government colleges including AEC Guwahati and Jorhat Engineering College. Only the most competitive programmes like AEC CSE require a higher score.
Ques. When will Assam CEE 2026 results be declared?
Ans. Assam CEE 2026 results are expected to be released on or around June 22, 2026. You can check your scorecard and rank on the official ASTU website at astu.ac.in once the result is announced.
Ques. How is a tie in Assam CEE rank resolved?
Ans. If two students score the same total marks in Assam CEE, the tie is resolved by comparing subject scores in this order: Mathematics first, then Chemistry, then Physics. The student with higher marks in Mathematics gets the better rank. If the tie persists after all three subjects, ASTU applies further criteria as per its official guidelines.
