What is Assam DElEd PET 2026?

Assam DElEd PET 2026 is the Pre-Entry Test conducted by SCERT Assam for admission to the two-year Diploma in Elementary Education programme for the 2026–2028 academic session.

The programme is offered through NCTE-recognized Teacher Education Institutes (TEIs), including DIETs, CTEs, Normal Schools, BITE/BTC institutions and eligible private TEIs in Assam.

The programme is intended for candidates who want to develop professional knowledge and skills for teaching at the elementary level.

Important: Completing D.El.Ed. does not automatically guarantee recruitment in a government elementary school. Government teaching recruitment remains subject to the applicable recruitment rules and eligibility requirements.

Key Summary

Assam DElEd PET Exam Pattern 2026

The PET 2026 carries 100 marks and consists of 100 multiple-choice questions. District-wise merit is prepared based on PET performance.

The subject-wise distribution above is reported for PET 2026; candidates should use the official brochure as the primary reference for preparation.

Assam DElEd Admit Card 2026

The PET 2026 admit card was scheduled to be available from 5 July 2026 onwards.

Candidates should check the admit card for:

• Candidate name
• Roll/application number
• Exam centre

The exam venue was allocated in the district selected by the candidate during application and was indicated on the admit card.

Assam DElEd Result 2026

The official notification scheduled the PET 2026 result for 27 July 2026.

SCERT subsequently provided an official PET result facility through the admission portal.

The result/rank is important because the admission process uses PET performance to prepare district-wise merit and allot candidates to participating Teacher Education Institutes.

Assam DElEd Counselling 2026

After the PET result, eligible candidates participate in online counselling.

The basic process is:

PET → Result → Online Counselling → Institute Preference → Merit/Allotment → Document Verification → Admission

The official schedule states that online counselling is mandatory for candidates seeking admission.

Counselling Steps

1. Participate in online counselling.
2. Select/prefer Teacher Education Institutes.
3. Submit choices.
4. Check allotment result.
5. Report to the allotted institute.
6. Complete document verification.
7. Pay applicable admission fees.
8. Complete admission formalities.

SCERT’s current PET portal also provides round-wise allotment and cutoff information.

Assam DElEd Colleges / Institutes

D.El.Ed is conducted in NCTE-recognized Teacher Education Institutes in Assam.

These include:

• DIET – District Institute of Education and Training
• CTE – College of Teacher Education
• Normal Schools
• BITE/BTC institutions
• Eligible private Teacher Education Institutes

SCERT’s official information states that admission is open across the recognized TEIs and that district-wise merit and seat availability determine allotment.

Assam DElEd Course Details

The official brochure states that the course has a two-year duration consisting of four semesters.

Seat Distribution

An important feature of Assam D.El.Ed admission is the stream-wise distribution described in the official brochure.

For each district:

• 30% of total seats: candidates from Science stream
• 70% of total seats: candidates from Arts and other streams

Allotment is made according to merit and seat availability in the relevant Teacher Education Institutes.

Assam DElEd Fees

PET Application Fee

₹600 for all categories.

The D.El.Ed course/admission fee is separate from the PET application fee and can vary according to the institution and applicable government regulations.

For your website, I recommend not publishing a single “Assam D.El.Ed total fee” figure unless it is verified from the relevant institute/official admission authority.

Assam DElEd Cutoff 2026

The cutoff is not one fixed statewide number.

It can vary according to:

• PET marks
• District
• Candidate category
• Stream
• Institute preference
• Seat availability
• Reservation
• Counselling round

SCERT’s official portal publishes Round 1, Round 2 and Round 3 allotment cutoff district-rank/marks information, making it preferable to link users to the current official cutoff rather than inserting an unverified generic cutoff.

Career Opportunities After Assam DElEd

DElEd is a professional teacher-education qualification focused on elementary education.

After completing the programme, graduates can explore:

• Elementary/primary teaching
• Private school teaching
• Teaching assistant positions
• Education-sector opportunities
• Further teacher education
• Teacher eligibility/recruitment examinations, where applicable

Important: D.El.Ed alone does not automatically provide government-school employment. Government recruitment depends on the applicable recruitment notification, eligibility criteria and selection process.
