Tezpur University

Latest Admission Updates (2026)

Admissions to Tezpur University, Tezpur (Assam) for the 2026-27 session are channelled through the Tezpur University Entrance Examination (TUEE) and a set of national tests (JEE Main, CUET-UG, CUET-PG, GATE, CEED, UCEED, NID DAT, NET, SLET and GAT-B), depending on the programme. Below are the most recent, dated milestones an applicant must track as of June 2026.

• 5-7 June 2026 (most important now): TUEE 2026 is being held from 5 to 7 June 2026 in computer-based mode for B.Tech (lateral entry), B.Des, M.Tech, M.Sc, MA, M.Com, MCA, LLM, M.Des, B.Ed, MJMC, Integrated M.Sc and PhD entry.
• 30 April 2026 (closed): The original online application last date was 30 April 2026; an extension was announced for some programmes.
• 10 May 2026 (closed): The extended application deadline for the affected programmes was 10 May 2026.
• 1 June 2026: TUEE 2026 admit cards were released on the Samarth admission portal (tezuadm.samarth.edu.in).
• Third week of June 2026: Provisional answer key and objection window for TUEE 2026 (expected, based on the 2026 schedule).
• First week of July 2026: Final answer key and TUEE 2026 result declaration (expected).
• July 2026: Counselling, seat allotment and document verification for TUEE-based programmes.
• B.Tech (regular): First-year B.Tech seats are filled through JEE Main 2026 scores via JoSAA counselling, not TUEE.

The single most urgent item is the live TUEE 2026 exam window of 5-7 June 2026. Applicants who have already applied should carry the admit card downloaded on 1 June 2026, and B.Tech aspirants relying on JEE Main should monitor JoSAA counselling rather than the TUEE result.

Tezpur University Admission 2026: Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility at Tezpur University is programme-specific, and the qualifying entrance exam changes from one course to another, so reading the row that matches your target programme is essential. The table below maps each major programme to its academic eligibility, the minimum qualifying marks, and the accepted entrance exam for the 2026-27 cycle. For undergraduate entry the university requires 10+2 with 60% aggregate marks, relaxed to 55% for SC, ST and OBC candidates; for postgraduate entry it requires a bachelor's degree with 50%, relaxed to 45% for reserved categories. Use this table to confirm both your subject background and the test you must appear in before you apply.

The clearest takeaway for 2026 is that B.Tech runs on JEE Main while almost all PG arts, science and commerce programmes run on CUET-PG, and design programmes (B.Des, M.Des) need UCEED or CEED rather than TUEE alone. Reserved-category candidates should remember the consistent 5% relaxation that lowers UG cutoffs to 55% and PG cutoffs to 45%. Before paying any fee, confirm that your degree discipline matches the "relevant discipline" wording for PG science and law programmes, since mismatched backgrounds are a common rejection reason at the document-verification stage in July 2026.

Course-Wise Admission Status

This table summarises where each Tezpur University programme stands in the 2026-27 cycle as of June 2026, including whether the application window is open, the mode of selection, and the exam that governs entry. It answers the practical question "can I still apply, and through which test?" Seats shown are indicative of the university's published intake; exact branch-wise seat matrices are confirmed during counselling. Read your programme's row to see whether you should be preparing for an exam, waiting for a result, or moving into counselling.

The headline for 2026 is that most coursework programmes have closed their application windows (deadline 30 April 2026, extended to 10 May 2026 for some), so the active routes now are JEE Main/JoSAA for B.Tech and rolling PhD admissions. If you missed the TUEE window, your realistic 2026 options are B.Tech through JoSAA or PhD entry through NET/SLET. Everyone else should treat 2026 as a planning year and target the next TUEE and CUET cycles.

Application Fees

Two distinct charges apply at Tezpur University: the exam/application fee paid to the conducting body, and the institute's tuition/programme fee paid after admission. The table below lists the TUEE 2026 application fee for every category on its own row so reserved-category applicants can see exactly what they pay, alongside the verified annual tuition for fee-confirmed programmes. The TUEE 2026 fee is ₹1,000 for General, OBC-NCL and EWS-grouped general applicants and ₹500 for SC, ST and PwD candidates. National exams such as JEE Main, CUET and GATE charge their own separate fees directly to NTA/IIT, which are not part of the Tezpur University application fee. Read this table to budget for both the exam and the first-year tuition.

The key budgeting takeaways for 2026 are that the TUEE fee is modest (₹1,000 General, ₹500 reserved) and unchanged from the prior cycle, while the real cost is tuition: LLM is ₹73,520 and B.Ed ₹60,920 per year, with most other UG and PG programmes falling in the ₹25,000-40,000 annual range. Do not confuse the small exam fee with these programme fees. Keep the JEE Main and CUET fees separate in your planning, as those are remitted to NTA when you register for the national test, well before any Tezpur University tuition is due at counselling.

Entrance Exam Requirements

Tezpur University does not run a single common test; each programme family accepts a specific exam, and the competitive score needed varies sharply between them. The table below pairs each accepted exam with the programme it feeds, the confirmed or expected 2026 exam date, and a realistic qualifying benchmark for THIS university. It answers "which exam do I need and how well must I score to get into Tezpur University?" Note that B.Tech is the most competitive route, gated by JEE Main rank, while PG science and arts seats hinge on CUET-PG or TUEE percentiles. Use the date column to confirm whether an exam has already happened in 2026.

The practical message for 2026 is that the entrance calendar is nearly exhausted: JEE Main Session 1 ran in January, CUET-PG in March, CUET-UG in May, and TUEE on 5-7 June 2026. For B.Tech, the score that matters is your JEE Main rank, and at Tezpur University a General-category rank inside roughly 64,000 is competitive for CSE while branches like Food Engineering admit ranks beyond 80,000. PG aspirants should focus on maximising their CUET-PG subject percentile, since the merit list is built directly from it.

Cutoff Analysis (2024-2026)

For B.Tech, the only true gate at Tezpur University is the JEE Main closing rank reached through JoSAA counselling, and these ranks shift every year with applicant volume and seat availability. The table below presents verified General-category closing ranks for 2024 and 2025 along with 2024 category-wise closing ranks, so you can judge realistically where your rank stands. It answers "what JEE Main rank do I need for Tezpur University?" Read the General row to gauge the overall bar, then your own category row to find the relevant cutoff. All figures are JoSAA closing ranks for B.Tech programmes.

The clear trend across 2024 to 2025 is that General-category closing ranks loosened slightly: CSE moved from a 2024 closing rank of 54,313 to 64,476 in 2025 (round 6), and the overall branch spread widened to as high as 1,21,531 in 2025, meaning a few extra thousand ranks were accommodated, likely due to additional counselling rounds and seat upgrades. Reserved categories enjoy substantially lower bars, with ST closing ranks in 2024 sitting between 2,339 and 4,382 and SC between 10,719 and 15,667. For 2026, a General aspirant should treat a rank near 64,000 as a strong CSE target and ranks up to 90,000-1,20,000 as viable for less-sought branches; final 2026 cutoffs will be confirmed only after JoSAA rounds conclude.

Counselling Process

The admission flow at Tezpur University differs by route, so follow the sequence that matches your programme. For B.Tech (JEE Main) the process runs through JoSAA, while TUEE and CUET-based programmes use the university's Samarth portal.

1. Register and apply (closed for 2026 TUEE): Create a login on tezuadm.samarth.edu.in, fill the application and pay the TUEE fee (₹1,000 General, ₹500 SC/ST/PwD). The window opened on 17 March 2026 and closed on 30 April 2026, extended to 10 May 2026 for some programmes.
2. Download admit card: TUEE 2026 admit cards were issued on 1 June 2026.
3. Appear for the exam: Sit the relevant test (TUEE on 5-7 June 2026; JEE Main Session 1 held 21-29 January 2026 for B.Tech).
4. Result and merit list: TUEE 2026 results are expected in the first week of July 2026; B.Tech ranks flow from JoSAA.

6. Document verification: Carry 10+2/graduation mark sheets, scorecard, category certificate and ID for verification at the allotted department.
