Assam CEE 2026 is conducted by Assam Science and Technology University for B.Tech admission to colleges of Assam, based on the ASSEB Division-II (Higher Secondary) syllabus. Each correct answer earns 4 marks and each incorrect answer deducts 1 mark; an unanswered question, and a question with multiple marked responses, scores zero. The official exam is delivered as an OMR paper in English and Assamese; this Stage 1 mock is presented in English only as a TakeMockTest platform choice.
Official source · checked 24 August 2026The Assam CEE Entrance Test exam pattern is 120 questions carrying 480 marks, to be answered in 180 minutes. That works out to about 90 seconds per question on average, before any time spent reading instructions or revisiting marked answers. The 3 sections are Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. All sections share one composite timer, so you are free to move between them and spend your time where it earns most.
Assam CEE Entrance Test marking scheme
- Each correct answer is worth 4 marks.
- A wrong answer deducts 1 mark; an unattempted question scores zero.
- A guess therefore breaks even at 20% accuracy: above that it gains you marks on average, below it loses them. A blind guess between four options is right 25% of the time, which is already above that line, so an educated guess is clearly worth making rather than leaving the question blank.
- Worked example: attempt 96 of the 120 questions and get 72 right and 24 wrong, and you score 264 out of 480.
Practising against the same clock is the point of a mock test: at 90 seconds a question, the difference between a good score and an average one is usually pacing rather than knowledge. Attempt a free Assam CEE mock test to see where your time actually goes.
