 Two Different CEE Exams

• NCERT CEE (Common Entrance Examination)

  • Conducted by NCERT for admission to Regional Institutes of Education (RIEs) in teacher education programs (B.A.B.Ed, B.Sc.B.Ed, M.Sc.Ed, B.Ed, M.Ed).
  • Frequency: Once annually, usually in May–June.
  • Mode: Computer-Based Test.

• Assam CEE (Combined Entrance Examination)

  • Conducted by Assam Science & Technology University (ASTU) for B.Tech admissions in Assam colleges.
  • Frequency: Once annually, generally in June.
  • Mode: Pen-and-paper (OMR-based).

 Bottom Line

Whether you mean NCERT CEE or Assam CEE, both are annual exams — you get one attempt per year.
