TEZPUR: Due to COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown all over the country, Tezpur University Entrance Examination (TUEE), which was scheduled to be held in May, had to be postponed several times. Unfortunately, there is no sign of improvement in situation in the country in general and Assam in particular. Due to the prevailing situation, it is difficult for the aspiring candidates, invigilators and university representatives to reach the test centres located in different parts of the country and abroad to conduct the examination. It is also difficult to maintain social distancing and sanitization norms with the large number of candidates in the examination hall. Considering all these factors, the university has decided not to conduct the entrance examination for all programmes through TUEE this year and to admit students based on their performance in qualifying examinations.

Merit list for admission will be prepared based on the marks secured in the qualifying examinations. The candidates who have submitted online application for admission will be required to submit their marksheets/grade cards of qualifying examinations along with grade to percentage of marks conversion formula in case of grading system and other relevant certificates through same login id used earlier for submission of online application form. The provision for online submission of marksheets/grade cards will be intimated to the candidates through SMS to their registered mobiles or by e-mail shortly. Last date for uploading the document is July 31, 2020.
