Government jobs in Assam 2026 — exams, age limits and domicile rules

Assam runs a backward-class category that exists nowhere else in India: MOBC, the More Other Backward Classes, listed and reserved separately from OBC. A candidate whose community falls in it and who ticks plain OBC out of habit is applying under the wrong quota.

The exam, with last dates

Sorted by closing date. Ages shown are the General limits; relaxations for other categories are applied in the free check.

OBC and MOBC are two categories, not one with a longer name

Assam maintains separate lists and separate reservation for OBC and for MOBC, and the communities in each are specified by the state rather than inferred. The quotas are distinct, and so are the cut-offs that result.

Because central examinations recognise only OBC, candidates from Assam arrive at a state form with a habit formed elsewhere and select the category they are used to selecting. Check your community against the state's own list before you fill anything in — it is a five-minute check that decides which queue you stand in.

Language, and a state that is genuinely multilingual

Assam administers in Assamese, in Bengali in the Barak valley districts, and in Bodo in the Bodoland Territorial Region. State recruitment reflects that rather than pretending to a single language, and the medium available to you depends on where the post sits.

For a candidate from outside the north-east this is the practical barrier to Assam recruitment, and it is a real one. It is also the reason local candidates hold an advantage here that they do not in central examinations.

One examination, a wide spread of services

The APSC Combined Competitive Examination feeds the Assam Civil Service, the Assam Police Service and a long list of allied services, through prelims, a descriptive mains and an interview.

APSC also conducts a large volume of separate departmental and specialist recruitment — junior administrative posts, technical services, teaching posts — that never appears in the combined examination. A candidate watching only the CCE notification sees a fraction of what the commission advertises in a year.

Frequently asked questions

What is MOBC in Assam recruitment?

More Other Backward Classes — a category Assam lists and reserves for separately from OBC, with its own communities and its own quota. It has no equivalent in central recruitment, which is why candidates select plain OBC out of habit and end up in the wrong pool.

Which languages does Assam recruit in?

Assamese, Bengali in the Barak valley districts and Bodo in the Bodoland Territorial Region, depending on where the post sits. The state does not pretend to a single language, and local candidates hold a real advantage because of it.

Does APSC only run the Combined Competitive Examination?

No. A large volume of departmental, technical and teaching recruitment is advertised separately and never appears in the CCE notification.
