Registration and Competition Overview
The online application window for DU B.Ed CET 2026 was open from May 5 to May 25, 2026, with a fee of Rs. 1,050. Dibrugarh University has not yet released the official count of students who registered for 2026. Past-year data, however, gives a clear picture of competition intensity.
In 2025, the result was declared on July 18, 2025, and 1,943 students qualified by scoring 30 or more marks in the 70-mark CET component. This figure represents only those who crossed the qualifying threshold — the total number of students who appeared was higher. With a similar or marginally increased applicant base expected for 2026 based on growing demand for B.Ed programmes in Assam, competition for each available seat is expected to be significant.
Eligibility requires at least 50% marks in a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Sciences, Social Sciences, or Humanities (55% for Engineering/Technology graduates). Students from SC/ST/OBC/MOBC/PWD categories receive a 5% relaxation. This eligibility bar moderates the pool of registered students but competition remains robust given the limited seat intake.
Total Seats Across Affiliated Colleges
Dibrugarh University conducts B.Ed admissions through its own Department of Education and 17+ affiliated Teacher Education Institutions spread across upper Assam. The approximate total seat intake across all participating colleges is around 1,100 seats, though the final seat matrix depends on NCTE-approved intake for each institution in 2026.
The table below lists seat details for select affiliated colleges based on available information:
| College / Institution | District | Approximate Seats |
|---|---|---|
| Department of Education, Dibrugarh University | Dibrugarh | 100 |
| Dhemaji Post Graduate Training College | Dhemaji | 100 |
| Bihpuria Post Graduate Training College | Lakhimpur | 60 |
| Institute of Advanced Studies in Education, Jorhat | Jorhat | 50 |
| Govt. College of Teacher Education, Golaghat | Golaghat | 50 |
| Other affiliated colleges (13+ institutions) | Multiple districts | ~740 (estimated) |
| Total (approximate) | — | ~1,100 |
Seat allocation follows a merit-cum-preference model. After qualifying the CET, you must separately apply to the B.Ed college of your choice. Each institution finalises admissions based on your combined score (CET + career performance) and available seats. The Department of Education at Dibrugarh University and government colleges like Dhemaji PGTC with 100 seats each tend to draw the highest competition.
Exam Pattern and Scoring Structure
DU B.Ed CET 2026 follows an offline OMR-based format with a duration of 90 minutes. Final admission merit is calculated out of 100 marks — 70 from the entrance test and 30 from career performance based on your academic record.

| Common Entrance Test (CET) | 70 | Offline OMR-based, 90-minute duration |
| Career Performance | 30 | Based on aggregate marks in graduation/post-graduation |
