Assam CEE Counselling 2026: DTE Assam Registration, Document Verification, and Seat Allotment

The Assam CEE Counselling 2026 is the centralized process conducted by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Assam, for B.Tech admissions. Registration typically begins in June 2026. Candidates must register at engineering.dteassamcounselling.in, upload documents, and fill college preferences to secure seats in top government engineering colleges.

DTE Assam Counselling Schedule 2026

Admission to the 2026-27 academic session follows a multi-round online process. Timely registration is critical as DTE Assam rarely extends deadlines for choice filling.

Step-by-Step Online Choice Filling Guide

Choice filling is the most strategic part of the DTE Assam engineering admission 2026. Follow this order to maximize your chances:

1. Login: Access the portal using your CEE Roll Number and Date of Birth.
2. Part A (Form Submission): Fill in personal details, CEE marks, and rank.
3. Part B (Preference Entry): Select college-branch combinations.
   • Tip: Always place AEC Guwahati (CSE) first if your rank is under 150.
4. Fee Payment: Pay the non-refundable counselling fee of ₹700 via the online gateway.
5. Locking: Review your choices. Once locked, they cannot be changed for that specific round.

What is TFW (Tuition Fee Waiver) Scheme?

The TFW scheme is a merit-cum-means quota where the Tuition Fee is waived for the entire duration of the course.

• Eligibility: Annual family income must be less than ₹8 Lakhs.
• Benefit: Only the “Development Fee” and “Hostel Fee” are payable; the core tuition component is zero.
• Requirement: You must select “Yes” for TFW during registration and upload a valid Income Certificate issued by the Circle Officer.

The “IndCareer” Document Readiness Checklist

Faulty documentation is the #1 reason for seat cancellation in Assam. Ensure you have these ready before the portal opens:

• Permanent Resident Certificate (PRC): Mandatory for all. Must be issued by D.C./S.D.O. of your home district.
• Gap Certificate: If you passed Class 12 in 2025 or earlier, an affidavit explaining the gap is required.
• Character Certificate: Must be from the Head of the Institution last attended.
• Caste/Category Certificate: Ensure NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) certificates for OBC/MOBC are updated and valid for 2026.
• Age Proof: HSLC (Class 10) Admit Card or Pass Certificate.

Expert Teacher Tip: For the Physical Verification at colleges, carry three sets of self-attested photocopies. Often, one set is kept by the DTE representative and another by the college admission cell.

Spot Round vs. Institutional Round Admissions

If seats remain vacant after three online rounds, DTE conducts Spot Counselling.

• Spot Round: Conducted centrally (often at JEC or AEC). Physical presence is mandatory. It is the best chance for lower-rank holders to get into core branches in colleges like JIST or BBEC.
• Institutional Round: Conducted by individual colleges (e.g., GEC or Dhemaji Engineering College) locally to fill the final 1-2 residual seats. Keep an eye on the specific college website after mid-August.
