📋 How to Apply for Assam Polytechnic Admission 2026 – Step by Step

  • Log in with your Application Number and Date of Birth. Fill the full application form — personal details, address, communication details, educational qualification (HSLC marks), category, and quota.
  • Enter your HSLC marks accurately — marks entered here determine your merit rank. Double-check before saving. Any wrong entry can cause rejection during verification.
  • Upload scanned documents — recent passport-size photograph in JPG format (max 100 KB) and signature in JPG format (max 100 KB). Both must be clear and within the prescribed dimensions.
  • Pay the application fee of ₹300 online through Net Banking, Debit Card, or Credit Card. Alternatively, print the SBI Challan and deposit at any SBI branch. Retain the payment receipt for counselling.
