APSSB CSLE Syllabus, Exam Pattern, Eligibility

A single objective test. There is no physical or skill stage for any 2026 post.

Two hours for 200 marks. No negative marking. Pass mark 33% of the total, with no subject-wise minimum. (In 2025 it was 33% in each subject.)

The Board published the common syllabus on 8 October 2026 for all its combined exams. At Class 10 level it means everyday general knowledge and Arunachal affairs; basic reasoning such as series, odd one out, coding and figures; school arithmetic up to percentages, interest, time and distance and simple graphs; and English grammar, vocabulary and a short passage.

Posts in 2026:

The advertisement still splits seats into 70 APST and 23 UR as reported by departments. One post is for PwBD and four for ex-servicemen.

For every post: Class 10 pass, or ITI or equivalent, and age 18 to 35 on 23 November 2026.

The 2026 advertisement also applies the state notification of 26 August 2026. You must:

1. hold a valid Permanent Residence Certificate of Arunachal Pradesh;
2. hold an Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribe certificate; and
3. speak one of the state's indigenous tribal languages, with working knowledge of the local tribes. A language test will be held under that notification.

Written test, then document verification of those shortlisted, then a final list by marks and by the post and office preferences in the application. You can only mark preferences for posts you qualify for, and the order can't be changed later.

All 2026 CSLE posts are Level 1: ₹18,000 to ₹56,900 basic pay. In 2025, constable and fireman posts in CSLE were at Level 3 (₹21,700 to ₹69,100).

Apply on the APSSB portal between 9 and 23 November 2026. The fee is a flat ₹150, online only; PwD and PwBD applicants are exempt. Upload a photo (50 to 100 KB) and a signature in black ink (10 to 50 KB).

At document verification you'll need your Class 10 or ITI certificate and marksheet, APST certificate, PRC, and if relevant a PwBD certificate, a no-objection letter from your department, or ex-servicemen papers.

The annual calendar had put the exam on 22 November; a notice of 9 October moved it to 20 December. In 2025 the advertisement came out on 16 July and the final result on 24 February 2026.

Admit cards will be on the APSSB admit card page shortly before 20 December. Without the admit card and an original photo ID you won't be let in.

Look for the answer key, provisional shortlist and final result on the notices page. CSLE 2025 took about four months from exam to final result.

• Solve the CSLE 2025 question paper and key and older CSLE papers on the papers page.
• The aggregate pass mark is 66 out of 200, so strong sections can carry a weak one this year.
• Keep your PRC and APST certificate up to date before applying; both are checked.
