Selection Process
The selection will be done through a written examination and viva (interview). Here is how the process works:
Written Examination (75 Marks): The test is OMR-based with 75 questions. Each question carries 1 mark. There is negative marking — 0.25 marks will be deducted for each wrong answer, and 0.5 marks for selecting more than one option on a 2-mark question. The exam duration is 2 hours.
The question paper will cover five sections: Domain Knowledge, Computer Proficiency, Logical Reasoning & Aptitude & Comprehension, History and Culture of Assam and India, and General Knowledge. For Accredited Engineer, additional questions on technical knowledge will be included.
Two Papers: Paper-I is for Gaon Panchayat Coordinator, Computer Assistant, and Gram Rozgar Sahayak. Paper-2 is for Accredited Engineer. Candidates who meet the eligibility for both papers can apply separately for each.
Viva (25 Marks): Candidates who qualify the written test will appear for a viva of 25 marks. Merit lists will be prepared category-wise for each post.
In case of a tie in marks, the older candidate will be placed higher. If two candidates share the same date of birth and marks, the one with higher educational qualifications gets preference.
