The State Level Police Recruitment Board (SLPRB) of Assam has launched a significant recruitment drive to strengthen its police force. On 5 December 2025, the board issued a notification inviting eligible candidates to apply for 1,715 constable positions. This move is a key part of the state's strategy to enhance its policing capabilities and address manpower needs in various districts.
Prospective applicants have a clear window to submit their forms. The online application portal will be active from 16 December 2025 to 16 January 2026. This provides aspirants with a full month to complete the registration process exclusively through the official SLPRB website.
Vacancy Details and Eligibility Criteria
The total of 1,715 vacancies are distributed across two primary branches of the Assam Police. The detailed breakdown is as follows:
- Constable (Armed Branch - AB): 663 Posts
- Constable (Unarmed Branch - UB): 1,052 Posts
To be considered for these roles, candidates must meet specific educational and age requirements set by the board.
For the Unarmed Branch (UB), the minimum educational qualification is a pass in Higher Secondary (Class 12) from a recognized board. For the Armed Branch (AB), candidates need to have passed the HSLC (Class 10) examination.
Regarding age, all applicants must be at least 18 years old as of 1 January 2026. The upper age limit is set at 25 years. It is mandatory for candidates to fulfill both these criteria to proceed with the application.
Selection Process and Application Steps
The selection of candidates will not be based on a single test. Instead, the SLPRB has designed a comprehensive multi-stage process to choose the most suitable candidates. This process includes:
- Physical Standard Test (PST) and Physical Efficiency Test (PET)
- Written Examination: This will be an objective-type test covering subjects like arithmetic, reasoning/mental ability, general awareness (with a focus on Assam's history, geography, politics, and economy), and general English. Importantly, the question paper will be available in Assamese, Bodo, Bengali, or English to cater to a wide range of applicants.
- Academic Score Weighting: Marks obtained in the higher secondary examination will be considered for candidates applying for the Unarmed Branch.
- Oral / Viva-Voce: This stage will be conducted as applicable.
The final merit list will be prepared by combining the scores from the PET, written exam, academic records, and the viva-voce.
How to Submit Your Application
All applications must be submitted online. No offline forms will be accepted. Candidates should follow these steps to apply successfully:
First, visit the official SLPRB Assam portal at slprbassam.in once the application link is activated on 16 December. Begin by registering with a valid mobile number and email address.
After logging in, carefully fill in all required personal, educational, and communication details. The next crucial step is to upload scanned copies of necessary documents. These include a recent photograph, signature, HSLC or HS mark sheet and certificate, age proof document, and any applicable category certificates.
Before the final submission, double-check all entered information for accuracy. Once submitted, save or print the acknowledgment slip for your records and future reference. It is the candidate's responsibility to ensure that all details are correct, as mistakes could lead to disqualification.
This recruitment drive presents a major opportunity for job seekers in Assam looking to build a career in the state police force. With a structured selection process and a substantial number of vacancies, candidates are advised to prepare thoroughly and apply within the stipulated dates.
