127 topics across 4 subjects. Every question carries a written explanation.
The only direct Havildar (spelt "Havilder" in the notice) recruitment SLPRB, Assam has run in recent years was not for Assam Police proper but for the Directorate of Civil Defence and Home Guards (DGCD & CGHG). Assam Police's own regular advertisements recruit at Constable and Sub Inspector level.
