Assam Govt Jobs Eligibility
Eligibility for Assam government jobs varies by post and department, but the following criteria apply to most state-level recruitment exams.
Educational Qualification
Grade IV posts (peon, sweeper, attendant) typically require Class 8 or Class 10 pass from a recognised board. Grade III clerical posts (LDA, stenographer, assistant) require Class 12 (HSSLC) from AHSEC or an equivalent board. Constable and Forest Guard posts require HSLC (Class 10) with a pass in core subjects. APSC-level and graduate posts require a recognised graduation degree from a UGC-approved university. Specialist posts such as Engineering, Medical, or Law require relevant professional degrees.
Nationality & Domicile
Candidates must be citizens of India. For most state government posts, candidates must hold an Assam domicile certificate — usually requiring proof of permanent residence in Assam for a minimum period as specified in the recruitment notification. Inner Line Permit (ILP) requirements may apply for certain districts.

Reservations apply as per Assam Government rules: SC (7%), ST (Plains) (10%), ST (Hills) (5%), OBC/MOBC (27%), EWS (10%), and Ex-Servicemen. Horizontal reservations are provided for women, PwD, and ex-servicemen within each category.

Always confirm age criteria in the specific recruitment advertisement.
Selection Process for Assam Govt Jobs
The selection process for Assam government jobs varies by post level and department, but typically follows a structured multi-stage procedure as outlined below.
1
Written Examination / Screening Test
Most Assam state government recruitments begin with an objective-type or descriptive written examination. APSC CCE has a two-stage Prelims (MCQ) and Mains (descriptive) pattern. SLRC Grade III/IV and Police Constable use objective MCQ papers. Syllabus covers General Studies, Assam GK, Reasoning, English, and Mathematics.
2
Physical Standard Test (PST) & Physical Efficiency Test (PET)
Mandatory for Assam Police Constable, Forest Guard, and similar field-level posts. PST checks height, weight, and chest measurements. PET involves running, long jump, and high jump. Candidates must meet the prescribed physical standards as per the recruitment notification.
3
Skill Test / Practical Test
Applicable to posts requiring specific skills — for example, Stenographer posts require a shorthand and typing test, DEO posts require a typing speed test, and teacher posts (TET-qualified) may include a demonstration lesson. The skill test is qualifying in nature for most posts.
4
Interview / Personality Test
Conducted for APSC CCE Mains (Civil Services) and other Group A/B officer-level posts. The interview carries 200 marks in APSC CCE and assesses personality, awareness of current affairs, Assam-specific knowledge, communication skills, and leadership potential. Clerical and constable posts typically do not have an interview stage.
5
Document Verification
Selected candidates must submit original documents for verification — educational certificates, Aadhaar, caste/category certificate, domicile certificate, and employment exchange registration card (where applicable). Discrepancies at this stage result in disqualification.
6
Medical Examination
A medical fitness test is mandatory for Assam Police, Forest Guard, and similar posts. For APSC-level posts, a medical examination by a government hospital is conducted before final appointment. Candidates with colour blindness, flat feet, or other specified conditions may be disqualified for certain posts.
