Tezpur University

Latest Admission Updates (2026)

As of June 2026, the most time-sensitive deadline for Tezpur University is the B.Tech North-East (NE) quota registration, which closes on 9 June 2026 - this window is currently open, so NE-domicile aspirants applying through their JEE Main 2026 rank should complete the BSSC-TU application immediately. The university's own entrance test, TUEE 2026, is being conducted across 5, 6 and 7 June 2026, meaning candidates for most PG and several UG programmes are sitting their papers this very week. Below is the dated running log of the key 2026 admission events at Tezpur University, with the live items flagged first.

• 9 June 2026 (OPEN - closes today/this week): Last date for B.Tech NE-quota application via JEE Main 2026 on the BSSC-TU portal.
• 5-7 June 2026 (LIVE): TUEE 2026 (Tezpur University Entrance Examination) being held for M.Tech, MA, M.Sc, MCA, LLM, M.Ed, B.Des, B.Ed, Integrated and PhD programmes.
• 10 May 2026 (CLOSED): TUEE 2026 online registration deadline (the general application window).
• April 2026 (CLOSED): JEE Main 2026 Session 2 conducted on 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 April 2026 - the score that feeds B.Tech admission.
• January 2026 (CLOSED): JEE Main 2026 Session 1 conducted on 21-29 January 2026.
• 6-27 March 2026 (CLOSED): CUET-PG 2026, accepted for 30% of Tezpur University PG seats.
• Upcoming: TUEE results, B.Tech JoSAA/CSAB allotment and BSSC-TU NE-quota counselling, followed by document verification and fee payment - links go live on tezuadm.samarth.edu.in after each exam result.

The single action an aspirant should take right now is to verify which exam their target programme uses - B.Tech runs on JEE Main, most PG seats on TUEE, and a 30% PG share on CUET-PG - and confirm their application is submitted before the relevant gate closes. All applications and counselling are routed through the official Samarth portal at tezuadm.samarth.edu.in.

Tezpur University Admission 2026: Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility at Tezpur University is strictly programme-specific, and a common reason applications are rejected here is candidates applying without the exact qualifying subjects or the minimum aggregate. The table below maps every major Tezpur University programme to its eligibility rule, the qualifying-mark threshold, and the entrance exam the university actually accepts for that course in 2026. It answers the most common applicant question - "Am I even eligible to apply, and through which exam?" - in a single view. Read each row as a checklist: you must satisfy the eligibility, clear the qualifying marks, and hold a valid score in the listed exam. Note that B.Tech demands a Physics-Chemistry-Mathematics background, while the management and arts PG programmes accept any bachelor's degree.

The key takeaway is that Tezpur University runs three parallel admission engines in 2026 - JEE Main for B.Tech, the in-house TUEE for the bulk of PG seats, and CUET-PG for a 30% PG share - so your eligibility check is incomplete until you confirm the exam channel. PhD aspirants need the higher 55% master's threshold, and B.Tech aspirants from reserved categories get a 5% relaxation (55%). If your programme shows two accepted exams, TUEE is the university's primary route and CUET-PG fills the secondary quota. Lock your eligibility before counselling, because document verification at Tezpur University will reject any candidate whose marksheet does not meet the stated minimum.

Course-Wise Admission Status

This section tells you, programme by programme, whether the 2026 application window is still open and how seats are filled at Tezpur University. It directly answers "Can I still apply, and how are seats allotted for my course?" - critical in June 2026 because the JEE Main-based B.Tech NE-quota window is among the last still accepting forms. The table lists the live application status, the seat-filling mode, and the accepted exam so you can immediately judge your options. Read the "Mode" column carefully: B.Tech uses a dual counselling system, while PG programmes use entrance-merit allotment. Status is given as of June 2026 and changes as each result is declared.

The headline takeaway is that B.Tech is the only programme with an actively open window in June 2026, via the NE quota closing on 9 June - every TUEE-based programme shut on 10 May 2026. B.Tech aspirants must understand the 60:40 split: 60% of seats are reserved for permanent residents of North-Eastern states through BSSC-TU counselling, and 40% go to All-India candidates through JoSAA/CSAB. If you missed the TUEE window for a PG seat, your realistic 2026 route is the CUET-PG quota where 30% of PG seats are filled.

Application Fees

One of the most-searched questions is exactly how much Tezpur University charges to apply, and crucially, the fee is not the same for every category - SC, ST and PwD candidates pay half of what General, OBC-NCL and EWS candidates pay. The table below lists the 2026 application (exam) fee for each category on its own row so there is no ambiguity, and it deliberately separates the application fee paid for the entrance route from the institute's tuition fee. This answers "What will it cost me to apply, and is my category fee lower?" For B.Tech, remember you also pay the separate JEE Main fee to NTA; the figures here are the Tezpur University-side application charges and the indicative tuition you pay after admission.

The clear takeaway is that the TUEE 2026 application fee is ₹1,000 for General/OBC-NCL/EWS and a concessional ₹500 for SC/ST/PwD, payable online through the Samarth portal. Do not confuse this application fee with the programme tuition fee, which is charged only after you secure admission: B.Tech costs roughly ₹15,000 per semester in tuition (first semester ~₹18,250 with one-time charges, ~₹95,000 per year all-inclusive, ~₹2.25 lakh for the full four years), while specific PG tuition is fixed at ₹73,520 for the LLM (1 year) and ₹60,920 for the B.Ed (2 years). NE-domicile B.Tech students should also note scholarship support such as the Ishan Uday scheme. Pay the application fee well before the deadline, as an unpaid form is treated as incomplete.

Entrance Exam Requirements

Because Tezpur University accepts four different national/in-house exams depending on the programme, knowing the exact exam, its 2026 date, and the score range that is genuinely competitive here is the difference between a wasted application and a seat. The table below pairs each accepted exam with the programmes it feeds, the 2026 exam date, and a realistic qualifying benchmark for Tezpur University specifically. It answers "Which exam do I need, when is it, and what score gets me in here?" Treat the "Typical Qualifying Score" column as the Tezpur-specific bar, not the national qualifying cutoff - it reflects the closing ranks observed in recent counselling at this university.

The practical takeaway: if you want B.Tech at Tezpur University, JEE Main is non-negotiable and your competitive window for the General category sits roughly between a closing rank of 64,000 (high-demand branches like CSE in later rounds) and 1,21,000 (peripheral branches, 2025 data). For most PG programmes, the in-house TUEE held on 5-7 June 2026 is the primary gateway, with CUET-PG (held 6-27 March 2026) covering the secondary 30% PG quota. M.Tech aspirants holding a valid GATE score get preference over TUEE-only candidates. Match your exam to your programme early, because Tezpur University will not consider a TUEE score for a B.Tech seat or a JEE rank for an M.Sc seat.

Cutoff Analysis (2024-2026)

Cutoffs are the single most decisive number for a B.Tech aspirant, so this section lays out Tezpur University's actual JEE Main closing ranks across categories and years, drawn from JoSAA/CSAB counselling data. The table answers the blunt question every applicant has - "What rank do I need to get into Tezpur University?" - with category-wise closing ranks for 2025 and 2024. Read it by your own category row: General candidates face the highest closing ranks, while ST and SC candidates see substantially lower (better-protected) closing ranks. These are closing ranks, meaning the last rank admitted, so aim to be comfortably ahead of the figure for your category and branch.

A second, finer view of the 2025 General-category progression for the most-contested branch (CSE) shows how ranks loosen round-by-round during counselling - useful for judging which round to target.

The clear trend at Tezpur University is that General-category closing ranks have risen from a 2024 spread of roughly 54,000-1,00,000 to a 2025 spread of about 64,000-1,21,000, meaning admission has become marginally easier for General candidates as seats opened up in later rounds - closing ranks always relax from Round 1 to the final round, as the CSE progression from 52,131 to 64,476 in 2025 demonstrates. Reserved categories remain far more protected, with ST closing ranks as low as 2,339-4,382 and SC around 10,719-15,667 in 2024. The actionable advice: General aspirants with a rank under ~64,000 are safe for CSE, and ranks up to ~1,21,000 can still land a peripheral branch in later rounds, so do not withdraw early. 2026 closing ranks will be published by the university after JoSAA/CSAB and BSSC-TU counselling concludes.

Counselling Process

Tezpur University runs two distinct counselling tracks for B.Tech - central counselling (JoSAA/CSAB) for the 40% All-India seats and the university's own BSSC-TU counselling for the 60% NE-quota seats - while PG admission flows from the TUEE/CUET-PG merit list. The step-by-step flow below is specific to Tezpur University in 2026:

1. Register on the relevant portal - JoSAA/CSAB (csab.nic.in) for All-India B.Tech seats, the BSSC-TU portal ([email protected]) for NE-quota B.Tech by 9 June 2026, or tezuadm.samarth.edu.in for TUEE/CUET-PG PG admission.
2. Fill choices - lock your preferred Tezpur University branches (CSE, ECE, Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Food Engineering & Technology) in order of preference.
3. Seat allotment - provisional allotment is released based on JEE Main rank (B.Tech) or TUEE/CUET-PG merit (PG); accept and pay the seat-acceptance fee within the stated window.
4. Document verification - report (physically or online) with Class X & XII marksheets, JEE Main/TUEE/CUET-PG scorecard, category certificate, and NE permanent-residence certificate (mandatory for the 60% NE quota).
5. Fee payment & reporting - pay the admission/tuition fee (B.Tech first semester ~₹18,250; LLM ₹73,520; B.Ed ₹60,920) to confirm the seat, then complete physical reporting at the Napaam campus.

Exact 2026 counselling and seat-allotment dates are released by Tezpur University after each entrance result is declared; NE-quota candidates must keep their permanent-residence certificate ready, as it is the hard requirement separating the 60% reserved seats from the 40% open seats.

Important Dates (2026)

This master schedule consolidates every canonical admission event at Tezpur University for 2026 into one table so you never miss a gate. It answers "What is the full timeline, and what is still pending?" by listing each event with its date and current status as of June 2026. Where the university or conducting body (NTA) has not yet published a 2026 date, the event is shown as "to be announced" rather than dropped, so you know it is still expected. Read the Status column to prioritise: anything marked "Open" needs action now, and "to be announced" items should be tracked on tezuadm.samarth.edu.in. Note that B.Tech dates derive from JEE Main/JoSAA while PG dates derive from TUEE.

The decisive takeaway is that the 9 June 2026 B.Tech NE-quota deadline is the only application gate still open - treat it as your hard deadline if you are an NE-domicile engineering aspirant. TUEE 2026 is being written on 5-7 June 2026, so PG candidates should now shift focus to awaiting results and preparing counselling documents. Every "to be announced" item - correction window, results, seat allotment and document verification - will be posted on the Samarth portal once TUEE concludes, so check tezuadm.samarth.edu.in daily through June 2026. JEE Main and CUET-PG exams are already complete, meaning B.Tech and CUET-quota PG admission now hinge entirely on counselling.
