Timeline [2]

A further edit window for correcting typing mistakes was opened from 1 to 5 March 2026, for this and the Board's other 2025-26 advertisements (Sub-Inspector, Driver Constable and others). [4]

The Board's website says the dates and venues of the PST / PET will be intimated later; none had been announced when we checked.

• Registered with a local employment exchange in Assam, and able to speak Assamese or another state language fluently.
• Qualification: Constable (UB) — Class 12 / HS pass; Constable (AB) — Class 10 / HSLC pass. HS holders may apply for both, stating their preference.

Only the HSLC admit card or certificate proves age. [1]

For this cycle the Government raised the unreserved upper age limit from 25 to 26, so General candidates born in the year 2000 (1 January – 31 December) may also apply; the limits for reserved categories rise in the same way. [3]
