📑 Table of Contents
The Assam Polytechnic Admission 2026 has officially begun. The Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Assam under the State Council for Technical Education has released the online application form from 24 April 2026 for admission to 3-year Diploma in Engineering and Technology courses at 26 Government Polytechnic institutes across Assam for the academic session 2026–27. A total of 4,385 seats are available across 21 different diploma branches, and the last date to apply online is 10 May 2026.
One of the biggest changes in recent years is that no entrance exam will be conducted for Assam Polytechnic Admission 2026. The Assam Polytechnic Admission Test (PAT) has been permanently scrapped since 2024. Admission is now purely merit-based — your HSLC (Class 10) marks decide your rank and college. Students currently appearing in HSLC 2026 can also apply. If you are looking for a government-backed technical career in engineering without needing a degree, this is one of the best opportunities available in Assam right now.
