Assam CEE 2026 counselling document verification requires you to carry originals plus two sets of self-attested photocopies of all mandatory certificates — missing even one document can result in cancellation of your allotted seat.
Assam Science and Technology University (ASTU) conducts the Combined Entrance Examination (CEE) for admission to BE/B.Tech programmes at engineering colleges across Assam. The counselling process includes a mandatory certificate verification round where you must present original documents in person. Round 1 reporting is expected around July 7, 2026 and subsequent rounds follow through August 2026.
- Assam PRC is compulsory — issued by the District Commissioner (DC) or SDO; no substitute is accepted.
- Carry originals of all documents — photocopies alone will not be accepted at the reporting centre.
- Bring at least 2 sets of self-attested photocopies — one set is retained by the institute; your originals are returned after verification.
- Category certificates must be issued by a competent Assam authority — certificates from other states are not accepted.
- Absence of any mandatory document will lead to rejection of your admission claim.

Original vs Photocopy — What to Carry
You must present original documents in person for inspection by the admissions committee. Photocopies alone are not accepted. The table below explains exactly what you need to arrange.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Originals | Must be presented in person — cannot be substituted with notarised copies or digital scans |
| Self-attested photocopies | Carry at least 2 complete sets; the institute retains one set and returns all your originals after verification |
| If originals are missing | Your admission claim will be rejected; a provisional seat allotment does not guarantee final admission without successful document clearance |
| Deadline for missing documents | Any missing document must be submitted before the institute’s stipulated deadline or your seat will be cancelled |
Arrange your medical fitness certificate from a government hospital or a registered medical practitioner before your reporting date. Do not assume the allotted institute will issue it on the spot — confirm in advance whether an on-site medical officer is available.
Category-Specific Documents
Students applying under reserved categories must present valid certificates issued by a competent Assam government authority. Certificates from authorities of other states are not accepted under any circumstance.
| Category | Certificate Required | Issuing Authority |
|---|---|---|
| SC (Scheduled Caste) | Caste Certificate | District Commissioner / SDO, Assam |
| ST (Scheduled Tribe) | Tribe Certificate | District Commissioner / SDO, Assam |
| OBC / MOBC | OBC / MOBC Certificate | Competent Assam government authority |
| EWS (Economically Weaker Section) | EWS Income and Asset Certificate | Competent Assam government authority |
| PwD (Persons with Disability) | Disability Certificate (minimum 40% disability) | Government Medical Board |
The Assam PRC applies to all students regardless of category and is the single most important document in the checklist. It must be issued by the DC or SDO of your district in Assam and must be valid on the date of reporting.
Tips for a Smooth Document Verification
Follow these steps to avoid last-minute issues at the Assam CEE 2026 counselling and document verification centre:
- Start collecting documents as soon as your seat is allotted — do not wait until the day before reporting.
- Check that your PRC mentions your correct name, district, and date of birth exactly as they appear in your Class 10 records.
- Prepare your self-attested photocopies in advance — write "Self-Attested" and sign on each copy before you leave home.
- Carry 6 to 8 passport-size photographs with a white background; coloured photographs are preferred.
- Print the bank challan after completing your counselling application and deposit the fee at the nearest SBI branch within 7 days — keep the stamped receipt safely for reporting day.
- Confirm the exact reporting date, time, and venue on the official ASTU counselling portal after your seat allotment is published.
- Carry all documents in a single organised folder, sorted in the order of the official checklist to speed up the verification process.
Assam CEE 2026 Counselling Documents FAQs
Ques. Which is the most important document for Assam CEE 2026 counselling?
Ans. The Assam Permanent Residence Certificate (PRC) is the most critical document. It must be issued by the District Commissioner (DC) or Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) of your district in Assam. No substitute — such as a domicile certificate or a residence certificate issued by another state — is accepted.
Ques. Can I submit photocopies instead of originals at the Assam CEE counselling centre?
Ans. No. You must bring original documents for in-person inspection at the certificate verification round. Photocopies alone are not accepted. Carry at least two sets of self-attested photocopies alongside your originals — the institute retains one set and returns your originals after verification is complete.
Ques. What happens if I cannot produce a required document on the reporting day?
Ans. Failure to produce a mandatory original document can lead to rejection of your admission claim. A provisional seat allotment does not guarantee final admission without successful document verification. Any missing document must be submitted before the institute’s stipulated deadline or the seat will be cancelled.
Ques. I belong to OBC category. Can I use a certificate issued in another state?
Ans. No. Category certificates for Assam CEE 2026 counselling must be issued by a competent government authority in Assam. Certificates from authorities of other states are not accepted under any circumstance.
Ques. What is a Gap Certificate and when is it needed for Assam CEE counselling?
Ans. If there is an educational gap between your Class 12 completion and the year of your Assam CEE counselling, you must submit a Gap Certificate. ASTU prescribes Annexure-IV for this purpose. You may alternatively submit documentary proof of a coaching course attended during the gap period.
Ques. How many passport-size photographs should I carry to Assam CEE 2026 counselling?
Ans. Carry 6 to 8 recent passport-size photographs with a white background. Coloured photographs are preferred. You will need them for the application form, institute records, and other admission formalities on reporting day.
