Choice Filling Tips for Assam CEE 2026 Students with Rank 1 to 300
Strategic choice filling is key to getting the best seat in Round 1. Here is what you should keep in mind:
- Fill all eligible choices. Even with a top-300 rank, leaving choices unfilled can lead to a less preferred allotment.
- Put AEC CSE or IT at the top if your rank is below 130. These branches have the strongest placement outcomes in Assam.
- Add JEC branches as backups. JEC CSE and ECE are strong alternatives for ranks between 100 and 300.
- Check the seat matrix before locking. Verify available seats per branch and category on the ASTU portal before you confirm your choices.
- Accept your Round 1 seat even if it is not your top preference. This keeps you eligible for seat upgrades in Round 2 while holding a confirmed seat.
