- Visit the official DTE Assam counselling website at engineering.dteassamcounselling.in.
- Click New Registration and enter your Assam CEE 2026 roll number and date of birth to verify your rank.

- Upload scanned copies of all required documents in the prescribed format and size.
- Pay the counselling registration fee through the online payment gateway provided on the portal.

Only students with a valid rank on the Assam CEE 2026 merit list can register for counselling. There is no offline or walk-in registration option. Ensure your uploaded documents are clear and legible to avoid rejection during verification.
Choice Filling: Steps and Deadline
Choice filling is the step where you arrange your preferred colleges and branches in priority order. The DTE Assam seat allotment algorithm processes your locked choices alongside your CEE rank to assign the best available seat.
- Log in to the DTE Assam counselling portal with your registered credentials.
- Browse the full list of participating government and aided engineering colleges across Assam.
- Add college–branch combinations in descending order of preference — your most-wanted option goes first.
- You can edit and rearrange your choices as many times as needed before the window closes.
- Once satisfied, click Lock Choices before the deadline — unlocked choices are not considered for seat allotment.
Choice filling is tentatively scheduled for July 17–18, 2026 — verify this date at dte.assam.gov.in before the window opens. Add as many choices as possible across multiple colleges and branches to maximise your chances. A higher-preference choice with available seats will always be allotted over a lower-preference one of the same rank.
Round-Wise Seat Allotment Schedule
DTE Assam conducts three centralised online allotment rounds. After Round 3, vacant seats are filled through an offline spot round. The process below is based on 2025 trends and is expected to follow a similar pattern in 2026.
| Round | What Happens | Expected Period |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | First allotment based on CEE rank and locked choices. You must accept the seat and pay the fee, or withdraw to participate in subsequent rounds. Failure to act within the deadline forfeits the seat. | Third week of July 2026 |
| Round 2 | Seats freed by Round 1 withdrawals and unfilled seats are re-allotted. Students who accepted a Round 1 seat may be upgraded automatically to a higher preference if a seat opens up. | First week of August 2026 |
| Round 3 | Remaining vacant seats are allotted from the waiting pool. Students must confirm or withdraw by the deadline. This is the final centralised online round. | Third week of August 2026 |
| Spot Round (Offline) | Seats still vacant after Round 3 are filled through an offline spot round at a designated venue. Students must be physically present with all original documents. Seats are allotted on a first-come basis among eligible students. | Last week of August 2026 |
After each online round, log in to the counselling portal to check your allotment result and accept the seat within the specified deadline. Failure to pay the seat acceptance fee by the round deadline results in automatic forfeiture. Once you are satisfied with your allotted seat and have no further upgrades available or wanted, pay the fee and report to the college on the date mentioned in your allotment letter to complete physical admission and document verification.
