Assam CEE 2026 Cut Offs

Assam CEE 2026 Cut Offs

Assam Combined Entrance Examination (CEE) 2026 cut offs, determined by Assam Science and Technology University (ASTU) and Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), represent minimum marks or ranks required for B.Tech seat allotment across government and private colleges, released round-wise post-counselling via astu.ac.in. Factors like applicant numbers (around 27,000 historically), exam difficulty, seat matrix (over 3,000 seats), and category reservations influence thresholds, with top ranks under 1,000 securing premier branches like CSE at Assam Engineering College (AEC). Expected general category cut offs hover at 300-350 marks out of 480 for government seats, dropping 20-50 marks for reserved groups.

Factors Influencing Cut Offs

  • Higher competition elevates cut offs for popular branches (CSE, ECE at 80-85 marks expected for top 1,000 ranks), while civil/mechanical dip to 65-75 in mid-tier colleges.
  • Exam normalization absent, raw scores dictate; previous trends show 2024 top score at 452/480, with 10% above 320.
  • Increasing seats or lower difficulty lowers thresholds by 10-20 marks year-on-year.

Category-Wise Expected Cut Offs

  • General candidates target 82-85 marks for AEC CSE, OBC/MOBC 77-80, SC 72-75, ST(P) 68-72, ST(H) 55-60.
  • Qualifying minimums stand at 45-50 marks overall, with reserved relaxations to 40-55.
  • ST Plains/Hills see 50-60 marks for entry-level seats.
