Assam Police Constable Syllabus, Exam Pattern, Eligibility

Marks fall in steps between those points; the advertisement has the exact scale. Races are timed with RFID chips under CCTV, and you get three tries at the jump.

The written test is 100 multiple-choice questions on an OMR sheet, half a mark each, 50 marks in all, with no negative marking. Questions are at Class 9 and 10 level and the paper is set in Assamese, Bodo, Bengali and English.

• Elementary arithmetic
• General English
• Logical reasoning and mental ability
• History, geography, polity and economy of Assam
• General knowledge and current affairs

The advertisement gives no topic breakdown or weightage beyond this list.

• Indian citizen and permanent resident of Assam, registered with an employment exchange in Assam.
• Must speak Assamese or another state language fluently.
• UB: Class 12 (H.S.) pass. AB: Class 10 (HSLC) pass. If you have Class 12 you can apply for both and give a preference order.
• Age 18 to 25 on 1 January 2026. A corrigendum of 19 January 2026 raised the limit by one year for this cycle, so general candidates born in 2000 also qualify. SC and ST get 5 more years, OBC/MOBC 3. Age is taken only from the HSLC admit card or certificate.

Eyesight: 6/6 in one eye and no worse than 6/9 in the other, without glasses. Flat foot, knock-knee, squint and colour blindness disqualify.

The physical test comes first and decides who gets to write the paper.

1. PET, then a medical check, then the PST (height and chest, no marks). Failing any event ends your run.
2. Written test for five times the posts in each category, picked on PET marks. AB PET marks are converted to a percentage for this.
3. Viva for twice the posts, on PET plus written marks.

For UB, Class 12 marks of 45 to 59.99% earn 2 marks, 60 to 74.99% earn 3, and 75% or more earns 5. On a tie the older candidate ranks higher, then the taller one.

Pay Band 2, ₹14,000–70,000 with Grade Pay ₹5,600, plus allowances. The same scale applies to UB and AB.

Apply online through the SLPRB portal at apcap.in, linked from slprbassam.in. There is no fee. Register once with the name exactly as on your HSLC certificate; a second Application ID gets you cancelled. The same ID is used for every SLPRB advertisement, and you update your post preferences each time you apply.

Upload a photo (up to 450 KB), signature (up to 100 KB), HSLC and H.S. certificates, the employment exchange card and any caste or quota certificate. Bring the originals to the PET; documents dated after the last application date are not accepted.

For a sense of pace: in the last cycle the written test was held on 6 April 2025, about 18 months after the October 2023 advertisement.

Admit cards for the PET and later stages are downloaded from the SLPRB site by logging in with the Application ID. Bring a photo ID; biometrics are taken at the PET and checked again at the written test and viva.

SLPRB posts PET results, the written-test question booklets with provisional answer keys, OMR sheet copies and the final select list on its site. The last constable final result came out on 11 October 2025. A Gauhati High Court order kept 202 posts from the October 2023 advertisement vacant pending writ petitions.

• Train for the run first. The race and jump decide who even sits the paper, and a 10-minute 3,200 m earns twice the marks of a 14-minute one.
• AB applicants: chin-ups are worth 20 marks and four is the minimum. Build them up early.
• The paper has no negative marking, so answer every question. Assam's history and geography is the section most outside candidates neglect.
• Keep your caste certificate and HSLC admit card ready in original. Without the caste certificate on PET day you are treated as general.

Is there an application fee?

No.

Can I apply for both UB and AB?

Yes, if you have passed Class 12. You give a preference and are allotted one post.

What is the age limit for the 2025–26 cycle?

18 to 25 on 1 January 2026, raised to 26 for this cycle by the January 2026 corrigendum, with the usual SC, ST and OBC relaxations on top.

Is there negative marking in the written test?

No. Each correct answer gets half a mark.

Do I need to know Assamese?

You must speak Assamese or another state language fluently. The paper itself can be taken in Assamese, Bodo, Bengali or English.
