ASTU has not released the official count of students who appeared in Assam CEE 2026. Based on the 2025 edition, approximately 25,000 to 28,000 students are expected to have appeared in 2026. In 2025, around 27,000 students appeared across nine exam centres in the state. The 2026 edition added Bongaigaon as a tenth centre, which may result in a marginal rise in total participation.

Category-wise Qualifying Marks in Assam CEE 2026
You must score at or above the minimum qualifying marks set by ASTU to appear on the merit list and become eligible for counselling. These marks are calculated out of a total of 480 marks.
| Category | Qualifying Percentage | Minimum Marks (out of 480) |
|---|---|---|
| General | 45% | 216 |
| OBC / MOBC | 45% | 216 |
| SC | 40% | 192 |
| ST (Plains) | 40% | 192 |
| ST (Hills) | 40% | 192 |
| PwD | 40% | 192 |
Meeting the qualifying marks places you on the merit list, but seat allotment depends on your rank and the closing rank of your preferred college and branch. Top colleges such as Assam Engineering College (AEC), Guwahati require scores significantly above the minimum threshold — particularly for high-demand branches like Computer Science Engineering.
