Assam Police SI Vacancy

The latest advertisement covers five posts. The numbers are tentative and can change with government clearance.

Important Dates

The dates below are from the latest recruitment.

The advertisement says the date and venue of the written test will be notified later. For reference, the previous recruitment held its written test on 5 January 2025, declared the result on 6 March 2025 and held PST/PET from 17 to 21 March 2025 in Guwahati. Track slprbassam.in for the current schedule.

Eligibility Criteria

• Nationality and residence: Indian citizen and permanent resident of Assam, registered with a local Employment Exchange in Assam.

• Education: Graduate in Arts, Science, Commerce or an equivalent stream from a recognised university.

• Age: 20 to 26 years on the reference date set in the advertisement. In the latest advertisement the reference date was 1 January 2026, so candidates had to be born between 1 January 2000 and 1 January 2006.

• Age relaxation: 5 years for SC, ST (P) and ST (H); 3 years for OBC/MOBC.

• Language: Fluency in Assamese or another state language.

Only the HSLC admit card or pass certificate is accepted as proof of age. The full rules are on the Assam Police SI eligibility page.

Physical Standards and Medical Fitness

Eyesight must be 6/6 in one eye and no worse than 6/9 in the other without glasses, with normal near vision. Colour blindness, squint, flat foot, knock-knee and conditions such as hernia or heart disease lead to rejection. The medical check is done before the PST.

How to Apply

There is no application fee. Applications are submitted online on slprbassam.in.

1. Register once on the SLPRB portal. One Application ID is used for all SLPRB advertisements, and multiple IDs lead to cancellation.

2. Enter your name exactly as on the HSLC certificate, along with your Employment Exchange number and Aadhaar number.

3. Upload a photograph (up to 450 KB) and signature (up to 100 KB) in JPG, JPEG or PNG format.

4. Upload the HSLC certificate, educational certificates, Employment Exchange card, Aadhaar card and, if applicable, a caste certificate issued by an Assam authority.

5. Submit the form and keep a printout.

Original documents are checked at the PET/PST stage. Documents issued after the last date of application are not accepted, and a candidate who cannot show an original caste certificate is treated as General.

Selection Process and Marks

1. Written test (100 marks): 100 objective questions on an OMR sheet, with 0.5 mark deducted for each wrong answer.

2. PET and PST (40 marks): Candidates are called at 5 times the posts in each category, by written merit. PET carries 40 marks; PST and the medical check are qualifying.

3. Viva-voce (5 marks): Candidates are called at 2 times the vacancies, by combined written and PET marks.

4. NCC bonus (up to 5 marks): 5 for C certificate, 3 for B and 2 for A.

The final merit list is out of 150. If two candidates tie, the older one ranks higher, and then the taller one.

Written Test Pattern

The advertisement does not give a fixed number of questions for each subject. Pages that show a 35-35-30 split are not quoting the official notice. The full pattern is on the Assam Police SI exam pattern page.

Syllabus Summary

SLPRB names three subject groups but does not publish a topic-wise syllabus. The table below is a working checklist built from those groups.

The detailed topic list is on the Assam Police SI syllabus page.

Physical Efficiency Test

PET carries 40 marks and every event is also qualifying. Missing the minimum in any event ends your candidature.

A faster run or longer jump earns more marks on a sliding scale, so the PET directly moves your final rank.

Salary and Service Conditions

• Pay: Pay Band 2, Rs. 14,000 to Rs. 70,000, plus grade pay of Rs. 8,700 and admissible allowances.

• Training: Selected candidates must complete basic training; failing it after three chances leads to discharge.

• Bond: Candidates must serve at least 3 years after posting or refund training and travel costs.

• Posting: Anywhere in Assam, regardless of the district you applied from.

In-hand salary depends on allowances and posting, so treat any figure you see elsewhere as an estimate.

Previous Cut-off

Reported written test cut-offs for SI (UB) male candidates from the test held on 5 January 2025 were 65.5 for Unreserved, 62 for OBC/MOBC, 60.5 for SC, 58.5 for ST (P), 55.5 for Tea Tribes and Adivasi Communities and 42.5 for ST (H), out of 100. These are a benchmark only, since cut-offs change with vacancies and difficulty. See the Assam Police SI cut-off page for details.

How to Prepare

• Protect your accuracy: With 0.5 negative marking, a wrong answer costs half a mark, so skip questions you cannot narrow down.

• Give Assam history its due: The history and culture group is Assam-specific, and generic material does not cover it.

• Train for PET from day one: The race and long jump carry 40 of 150 marks, so running and jumping practice should start alongside study.

• Check your height and eyesight early: PST and medical are pass-or-fail, so confirm you meet them before investing months.

For timed practice in an objective format with negative marking, you can attempt online tests on Testkart and use the section-wise analysis to find weak areas. Pair them with the previous year question papers to understand the real difficulty level.
