What is Assam CEE 2026?
Assam CEE 2026 (Assam Combined Entrance Examination) is a state-level engineering entrance test conducted every year by the Assam Science and Technology University (ASTU). The exam is held for admission to the first year of the four-year BTech programme in government and private engineering colleges across the state of Assam.
This year, the exam is being held in a single shift today, 14 June 2026, in offline pen-and-paper mode. More than 28,000 candidates are expected to appear for around 2,000 BTech seats spread across 9 engineering colleges. Successful candidates can pursue BTech in branches like Computer Science, Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, ECE and Instrumentation Engineering.
The counselling for seat allotment is handled by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Assam, after the result is declared. This makes Assam CEE the single most important entrance exam for state-quota engineering seats in Assam.

Assam CEE 2026 Application Process
The Assam CEE 2026 application process was held entirely online on astu.ac.in. The registration window opened on 16 March 2026 and closed on 3 April 2026 after a brief extension. So the application phase is over for this year.
Here is how the process worked, in case you are planning for next year or need to refer back to your submission.
Step-by-Step Application Process
- Registration: Visit astu.ac.in and click on the Assam CEE 2026 registration link. Enter basic details like name, email, mobile number and create a password.
- Application Form: Log in with the registration credentials and fill the application form. You need to enter personal, academic, category and domicile details.
- Document Upload: Upload a scanned passport-size photograph, signature and left-hand thumb impression in the prescribed format.
- Fee Payment: Pay the application fee online through net banking, debit card, credit card or UPI.

Assam CEE 2026 Application Fee
| Category | Application Fee |
|---|---|
| General / OBC / EWS | Rs. 1,100 |
| SC / ST | Rs. 600 (approx.) |
| PwD | Rs. 600 (approx.) |
The fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. You should keep a soft copy of the payment receipt safely.
Assam CEE 2026 Exam Pattern
The Assam CEE 2026 exam pattern is the same as last year. The exam is a 3-hour offline OMR-based paper with 120 multiple-choice questions split equally among three subjects.
You should be aware of the marking scheme because the negative marking can affect your final score.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Mode of Exam | Offline (OMR-based) |
| Type of Questions | Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) |
| Number of Subjects | 3 (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) |
| Total Questions | 120 (40 from each subject) |
| Total Marks | 480 |
| Marks per Correct Answer | +4 |
| Negative Marking | -1 for each wrong answer |
| Unanswered Questions | 0 (No deduction) |
| Duration | 3 Hours (11:00 AM to 2:00 PM) |
| Medium of Paper | English and Assamese |
Subject-wise Distribution
| Subject | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Physics | 40 | 160 |
| Chemistry | 40 | 160 |
| Mathematics | 40 | 160 |
| Total | 120 | 480 |
Since the exam has negative marking, you should not attempt questions just by guessing. Smart attempts matter more than the total number of attempts in Assam CEE.

Assam CEE 2026 Cutoff
The Assam CEE 2026 cutoff is the minimum mark you need to qualify the exam and become eligible for counselling. The cutoff depends on the difficulty level of the paper, the number of candidates and the seat-to-applicant ratio. The college-wise cutoff is released by DTE Assam during the counselling rounds.
For the last 3 years, the General category qualifying cutoff has been around 30 to 35% of the total marks. The college-level closing rank changes round by round based on seat availability.
Expected Assam CEE 2026 Qualifying Cutoff
| Category | Expected Qualifying Marks (Out of 480) |
|---|---|
| General / EWS | 140 - 160 |
| OBC / MOBC | 130 - 150 |
| SC | 110 - 130 |
| ST (P) | 100 - 120 |
| ST (H) | 100 - 120 |
| PwD | 90 - 110 |
Previous Year Cutoff Trend
| Year | General Category Cutoff Range (Marks) | Top Score |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 139 - 381 | Not Released |
| 2024 | 140 - 380 | 452 / 480 |
| 2023 | 135 - 370 | Around 440 |
| 2022 | 130 - 360 | Around 430 |
The closing cutoff for premier branches like CSE at Assam Engineering College usually stays in the top 100 ranks. For mid-tier colleges, candidates with ranks between 500 and 3,000 have a fair chance.
Assam CEE 2026 Marks vs Rank
The Assam CEE 2026 marks vs rank analysis helps you understand where you stand in the merit list. Last year, around 27,000 candidates appeared for the exam, and the top score was 452 out of 480. The mapping below uses the 2024 and 2025 trends as reference.
| Marks Out of 480 | Expected Rank Range | Expected College / Branch |
|---|---|---|
| 420 - 480 | 1 - 50 | AEC - CSE / IT |
| 380 - 419 | 51 - 200 | AEC - ECE / EE, JEC - CSE |
| 340 - 379 | 201 - 500 | JEC - ECE / ME, AEC - ME / Civil |
| 280 - 339 | 501 - 1,500 | AEC / JEC - Civil / IE, BBEC - CSE |
| 220 - 279 | 1,501 - 3,500 | BBEC, DUIET, GIMT - Core Branches |
| 160 - 219 | 3,501 - 7,000 | Private Engineering Colleges |
| 140 - 159 | 7,001 - 10,000 | Qualified, Spot Round Possible |
The paper difficulty has more impact on this mapping than the total number of candidates. So you should use this only as a guide and wait for the official rank card.

Assam CEE 2026 Preparation Tips
With the Assam CEE 2026 exam happening today, preparation tips are now mostly useful for next year’s aspirants. Still, the same strategy works for any Assam CEE attempt because the pattern has been stable for years.
You should focus on NCERT-based concepts, OMR practice and Mathematics speed. Here is a quick study plan.
Study Plan and Strategy
- Stick to NCERT first: The Assam CEE syllabus is based on AHSEC and NCERT books. Finish NCERT Class 11 and 12 thoroughly before moving to reference books.
- Build concept clarity in Physics: Focus on Mechanics, Electrostatics, Current Electricity and Modern Physics. These chapters carry maximum weight.
- Practice numericals in Chemistry: Physical Chemistry carries more numerical weight, while Organic and Inorganic Chemistry need memorisation of reactions and trends.
- Speed up Mathematics: Calculus, Algebra and Coordinate Geometry account for the bulk of the Mathematics section. Practice short-cut methods to save time.
- Solve previous year papers: Solve at least the last 5 years of Assam CEE papers in a timed mock setup.
- Take regular mock tests: OMR-based mocks help you practice bubble shading and reduce silly mistakes on exam day.
- Revise weekly: Spend Sundays revising key formulas, definitions and reaction mechanisms.
Recommended Books
- Physics: NCERT Class 11 and 12, HC Verma, DC Pandey
- Chemistry: NCERT, OP Tandon (Physical & Inorganic), Morrison Boyd (Organic)
- Mathematics: NCERT, RD Sharma, ML Khanna, SL Loney for Trigonometry and Coordinate Geometry
You should also keep checking the official ASTU website for any pattern updates or revisions in the question style.

Yes, you can change your branch after the second semester. The Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Assam allows internal branch reallocation at the beginning of the third semester. This process is strictly based on your first-year academic performance (CGPA/marks) and the availability of vacant seats in the desired branch.

With an ST (Plain) category rank of 2805, getting admission to Assam Engineering College (AEC) is uncertain. Core branches close at much lower ranks. However, you may have a chance in less-demanded branches during later rounds or spot/vacant seat counseling, depending on seat availability and cutoff trends.
With a score of 41 in Assam CEE, chances of admission to a government institute for B.Sc. Nursing are quite low, as cut-offs are higher. However, you may still try through counselling rounds, reserved quotas, or consider private colleges as backup options for better admission chances.
