DARPAN Online Admission Portal 2026–27

Details information Portal Status LIVE

Below is a quick, practical breakdown of important dates, eligibility, and the application process to help you understand the DARPAN admission cycle.

Overview

What Is the DARPAN Admission Portal?

The DARPAN Admission Portal 2026 is a single, centralized platform where students can apply to multiple institutions for HS First Year admission without having to physically visit each one. Before this system existed, students had to run between colleges collecting forms and submitting applications separately — DARPAN has cut that down to a single online process managed entirely by ASSEB, Division-II.

Through the portal, students can pick their preferred stream — Arts, Science, or Commerce — and shortlist up to five institutions in order of preference, all from one account.

Eligibility for DARPAN Admission Portal 2026

To apply through the DARPAN Admission Portal 2026, students need to have passed the HSLC (Class 10) examination in 2026 from the Assam State School Education Board, Division-I (previously known as SEBA). There’s no separate eligibility criterion beyond this for HS First Year admission.

Important Dates

The last date to apply was 22 April 2026, and that deadline was strictly enforced — no extensions were granted. Students who missed this window had to wait for the portal’s later reopening phase to be considered.

How to Apply Through the DARPAN Admission Portal 2026

1. Visit the official portal at darpan.ahseconline.in or ahsec.assam.gov.in.
2. Click on the “HS 1st Year Online Admission” link.
3. Click “Register a New Account.”
4. Enter your personal and educational details accurately.
5. Upload a scanned passport-size photograph and your Class 10 marksheet.
6. Choose a 4-digit login PIN and complete registration.
7. Return to the “HS 1st Year Online Admission” link and log in.
8. Select your preferred stream and up to five institutions, in order of preference.
9. Submit your application and keep a printed copy for future reference.

Documents Required

• Recent passport-size photograph
• HSLC/Class 10 marksheet (digital copy)
• Caste certificate, where applicable
• Disability certificate, where applicable
• TGL or Ex-TGL certificate, where applicable
• Gap certificate, where applicable

Documents must be uploaded in JPG, JPEG, or PNG format, with each file kept within 1 MB in size.

Important Rules to Keep in Mind

The DARPAN Admission Portal 2026 comes with a few strict rules that students should be aware of before applying. Each student can apply to a maximum of five institutions, so it’s worth choosing carefully to maximize your chances. Profile editing is allowed only once after registration, and it must be done before the selection list is prepared — so double-check every detail before saving. Institutions do not require separate permission to assign subjects on the portal, which simplifies the process on their end as well.

Checking Your Merit List and Accepting Admission

Once institutions publish their merit lists on the DARPAN Admission Portal 2026, students need to log in and check their status by following these steps:

1. Go to the official DARPAN portal and click “Students Corner.”
2. Enter your mobile number, date of birth, and security PIN, then log in.
3. On your dashboard, click “Application Submitted.”
4. You’ll see the list of all colleges or schools you applied to, along with your admission request status against each.
5. If selected, click “Accept Admission Request” to confirm your seat at your preferred institution.

Who Should Apply

This admission process is meant for students who have cleared their HSLC (Class 10) examination in 2026 and are looking to join Class 11 in Arts, Science, or Commerce at a college, senior secondary school, or higher secondary school affiliated with ASSEB. If you’re set on a particular institution, applying early through the DARPAN Admission Portal 2026 and listing it as your top preference genuinely improves your odds compared to waiting until the last day.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A number of students run into avoidable trouble each year — submitting blurry or oversized document scans that get rejected, missing the profile-editing window since it’s allowed only once, listing institutions randomly instead of in a genuine order of preference, and forgetting to print a copy of the submitted application for their own records. Since the deadline for the 2026 window has already closed, these are worth keeping in mind for the portal’s reopening phase or for next year’s cycle.
