Exam Pattern — Three Stages
Stage 1 — Preliminary Examination
This is an objective MCQ-based screening test. Each question carries four options. Note that Prelims marks are not counted in the final merit — they only decide who moves forward to the Mains.
Stage 2 — Main Examination
This is a descriptive written exam with multiple papers. It includes an Essay Paper (250 marks, 3 hours) and several General Studies papers (250 marks each). Candidates can write the Main Examination in the Assamese language, which is a huge advantage for students from Assamese-medium backgrounds.
Stage 3 — Interview / Viva Voce
This carries 180 marks and tests your personality and general awareness. Your final post is decided based on the combined score of Mains and Interview
