UG Admission Through SAMARTH Portal
The Directorate of Higher Education, Government of Assam, has officially commenced the online registration process for undergraduate admissions for the academic year 2026-27 through the SAMARTH Admission Portal. This unified digital platform enables students from across Assam to submit applications for Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Commerce (BCom), Bachelor of Science (BSc), and other undergraduate programmes offered by affiliated colleges and state universities.
The SAMARTH system eliminates the need for multiple applications to different institutions. Applicants can select and apply to a maximum of ten colleges or universities through a single registration. The portal also incorporates a duplicate admission prevention mechanism, ensuring that each candidate secures admission in only one institution at a time. Additionally, the integrated system facilitates efficient implementation of state-sponsored welfare schemes and scholarships.
