Assam Police Jobs in Assam 2026

Assam Police recruitment is among the most eagerly anticipated annual events for government job aspirants across the state. When SLPRB opens applications for constable vacancies — which typically run into thousands of posts — the portal at slprbassam.in receives lakhs of applications within days. The competition is intense: for a constable batch of 3,000 posts, upwards of three lakh candidates routinely appear for the written exam, making the selection ratio extremely tight.

The recruitment process for constable posts involves three main stages. First is the written examination, which tests general knowledge, arithmetic, and reasoning. Candidates who clear the written test move to a Physical Standards Test, where height and chest measurements are verified. Those who pass PST proceed to the Physical Efficiency Test, which involves running, long jump, and high jump. Document verification and a medical exam round off the process before final merit lists are published on slprbassam.in.

Sub-Inspector recruitment follows a similar multi-stage process but has additional components — the written exam is more demanding, covering English, General Studies, and reasoning at a higher level, and there is an interview stage. SI posts are in the Unreserved Branch (Civil Police) and the Armed Branch, with slightly different deployment patterns. SI candidates are also required to have a graduate degree, unlike constable applicants who need only a Class XII pass.

Assam Police also recruits for specialised roles including driver constables, signaller constables, animal transport constables, and band members. These posts have skill-specific tests in addition to the standard physical and written components. The Assam Armed Police battalions, headquartered at different locations across the state, draw recruits primarily from rural Assam, and many young men from tea-garden communities and tribal belts specifically target armed police vacancies.

The Assam Fire & Emergency Services, which functions under the Home Department, conducts its own recruitment for fireman and driver-operator posts. These vacancies appear periodically and are notified through SLPRB or the Fire Services Headquarters. For candidates who want government employment in uniform without the intense competition of the police constable exam, fire services jobs offer an alternative pathway with comparable pay and service benefits.
