What is Tezpur University Entrance Exam 2027?
TUEE is the Tezpur University Entrance Exam 2027 conducted by the university. For the 2027-28 academic session, the examination was scheduled in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode at examination centres in different cities across India.
The TUEE paper generally consists of 50 multiple-choice questions, with four options for each question. Each correct answer carries 2 marks, while 0.5 marks are deducted for every incorrect answer. The examination duration is two hours. Some programmes may also have a few descriptive questions.
Tezpur University 2027 Courses Where Applicable
Based on the Tezpur University Prospectus 2027, TUEE applies to the following major programmes.
1. B.Tech Lateral Entry
Candidates seeking admission directly to the second year of B.Tech can apply through TUEE.
The programmes covered are:
- B.Tech in Civil Engineering
- B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering
- B.Tech in Electrical Engineering
- B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering
- B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering
- B.Tech in Food Engineering and Technology
Engineering diploma holders are eligible to apply for lateral entry, subject to the prescribed eligibility conditions. The university specifically requires lateral-entry candidates to appear in TUEE.
2. B.Des
Bachelor of Design (B.Des) is another undergraduate programme for which TUEE is an admission route.
Candidates can enter through UCEED, UG NID DAT, JEE Main, or TUEE. The prospectus also specifies that 60% of the B.Des seats are reserved for candidates from Northeast states and 40% are All India seats.
Therefore, candidates who do not have UCEED or DAT scores can also consider the TUEE route, subject to the university’s eligibility requirements.
3. M.Tech Programmes
TUEE is also applicable to the non-GATE admission route for several M.Tech programmes.
The programmes include:
- M.Tech in Data Science
- M.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering
- M.Tech in Civil Engineering
- M.Tech in Bioelectronics
- M.Tech in Electronics Design and Technology
- M.Tech in Semiconductor Technology
- M.Tech in Energy Technology
- M.Tech in Solar Energy Engineering
- M.Tech in Food Engineering and Technology
- M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering
- M.Tech in Manufacturing Technology and Automation
- M.Tech in Electrical Engineering
For these programmes, GATE-qualified candidates are given preference. Where seats remain vacant, the university uses TUEE and CUET-PG for the remaining seats. Under the stated non-GATE arrangement, 70% of seats are allocated through TUEE and 30% through CUET-PG.
This is an important point for M.Tech aspirants: TUEE does not replace GATE; rather, it provides an additional admission route for applicable seats.

The B.Ed programme also uses TUEE as an admission channel. According to the 2027 prospectus:
70% seats → TUEE
30% seats → CUET

For example:
- B.Tech: JEE Main
- Dual Degree B.Tech-MBA: JEE Main
- Most UG/Integrated programmes: CUET-UG
- MBA: CAT/MAT/CMAT/XAT/ATMA
