SAMARTH Admission Portal: Getting admission to colleges in Assam has become significantly easier and more transparent with the launch of the SAMARTH Admission Portal. Introduced by the Government of Assam, this centralized online system streamlines the undergraduate (UG) admission process for all government, private, provincialized, and autonomous colleges as well as state universities across the state. Starting from the 2023–24 academic session and continuing in 2025–26, students no longer need to travel from one institution to another or fill out multiple forms. With just one registration on the SAMARTH portal, they can apply to up to ten colleges of their choice saving time, effort, and money while ensuring fair, merit-based allotment in line with the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
