Who is affected?

Required student action
Registered candidates should check the official Assam ITEP admission portal and the relevant institution’s official website for merit-list status and admission instructions. If selected, complete the institution’s admission requirements within the exact merit-list window shown above.
Step-by-step instructions
- Open the Assam ITEP admission portal and use the registered candidate account.
- Confirm that the NCET registration number in the account is correct.
- Check whether the portal or selected institution has published your merit-list result.
- Read the institution-specific admission policy and document requirements.
- If selected, complete admission and any required fee/document steps within the applicable two-day window.
- Save admission, payment and document-submission acknowledgements.
- If not selected, continue checking the second and third merit lists and the spot-admission notice.
What happens if the deadline is missed?
A selected candidate who does not complete admission within the institution’s assigned merit-list window risks losing the opportunity. The admission policy can vary by participating university or institution, so candidates must follow both the state portal and the institution’s official instructions.
