SCPS Assam Recruitment 2026 – Apply for 88 CWC & JJB Posts, Check Eligibility, Age Limit and Last Date

Published on: 7th July 2026

Government job seekers in Assam have a great opportunity as the State Child Protection Society, Assam has announced the SCPS Assam Recruitment 2026. Functioning under the Assam Government, this fresh notification calls for applications to fill up 88 vacant positions across the state.

This is a good opportunity for candidates who hold a background in social work, psychology, law, sociology, education, or related child welfare fields and who have already spent years working on ground-level issues connected to children. Unlike typical government recruitment drives, this one does not involve a written examination — selection is done through document scrutiny at the district level followed by an interview at the state level, which makes the eligibility and documentation part extremely important to get right the first time.

In this article, we have broken down the entire SCPS Assam notification in simple language, covering vacancy details, eligibility conditions, age limit, selection process, required documents, and the complete step-by-step application procedure, along with a few practical tips that can help you avoid rejection at the scrutiny stage itself.

SCPS Assam Recruitment 2026 – Overview

Candidates can check the quick highlights of the SCPS Assam Recruitment 2026 from the overview table provided below:

About State Child Protection Society, Assam

The State Child Protection Society, Assam is the nodal body responsible for implementing child protection schemes across the state, working under the framework of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act. It oversees the functioning of Child Welfare Committees and Juvenile Justice Boards at the district level, which are quasi-judicial bodies dealing with children in need of care and protection, as well as children in conflict with law. Since these committees directly influence the lives of vulnerable children, the government keeps the eligibility bar fairly strict, requiring both relevant academic qualification and years of hands-on field experience.

Vacancy Details

The 88 posts are divided between two bodies — CWC and JJB — and further distributed district-wise. Reservation for women candidates has also been specified against several posts.

Child Welfare Committee (CWC) – 65 Posts (Chairperson & Member)

Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) – 23 Posts (Social Worker)

Important: applications will only be accepted from candidates belonging to the same district where the vacancy exists. A candidate from Nagaon, for example, cannot apply for a vacancy advertised in Kokrajhar.

Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification: Candidates must hold a degree in any one of the following fields: child psychology, psychiatry, law, social work, sociology, human health, education, human development, or special education for differently abled children. Alternatively, a practicing professional holding a degree in any of these subjects is also eligible. Post-graduate degree holders in these subjects will be given preference during selection.

Work Experience: Candidates must have been actively involved in health, education, or welfare-related activities concerning children for a minimum of seven years. This experience needs to be properly documented and supported through certificates, since the district scrutiny committee will verify this before shortlisting.

Other Eligibility Conditions: A candidate will not be eligible if they have any past record of human or child rights violations, have been convicted of an offence involving moral turpitude, have been dismissed from any government or public sector service, or have ever been involved in child abuse or child labour. Persons associated with organisations that receive foreign contributions are also not eligible. Similarly, anyone linked to a Child Care Institution, or having close family ties with a person running a non-governmental organisation working in this field, cannot apply, since this could create a conflict of interest.

Practicing lawyers who get selected will not be allowed to handle any case related to children below 18 years during their tenure, even in their personal legal practice.

Age Limit

The required age criteria for candidates applying for the SCPS Assam Recruitment 2026 are as follows:

Candidates must be between 35 and 62 years of age as on 1st January 2026. An age proof certificate must be submitted along with the application to support the claimed date of birth.

Application Fee

There is no application fee for this recruitment. Candidates from all categories can apply free of cost.

Selection Process

Since this is not an examination-based recruitment, the selection follows a scrutiny-and-interview model:

1. Application Submission – Candidates submit the offline application to the District Child Protection Officer of their concerned district.
2. District Level Scrutiny (DLSC) – The District Level Scrutiny Committee reviews all applications received and prepares a shortlist in a ratio of 1:3 against each vacancy.
3. State Level Selection (SLSC) – Shortlisted candidates are called for a final interview before the State Level Selection Committee, constituted under Rule 87 of the Juvenile Justice Model Rules, 2022.
4. Final Selection – The SLSC holds the right to reject any application or recommendation made by the district committee and can also review its own decision later if any complaint is received against a selected candidate.
5. Police Verification – Once selected, candidates must undergo police verification and submit the report within 15 days, after which their joining gets confirmed.

How to Apply for SCPS Assam Recruitment 2026

1. Download the prescribed application format from the official notification.
2. Fill in all personal, educational, and professional details in BLOCK letters.
3. Attach a recent passport-size photograph in the designated space.
4. Enclose self-attested copies of all educational certificates from HSLC to Post Graduation.
5. Attach the experience certificate showing work related to child rights or child welfare.
6. Prepare the affidavit as per Form 49, confirming that none of the disqualifying conditions apply to you.
7. Attach the age proof certificate and Aadhaar card copy.
8. Submit the complete application to the office of the District Child Protection Officer of your own district, within office hours, on or before 10th July 2026.

Since there is no online submission option, candidates are advised not to wait until the last day, as physical submission can take time depending on office hours and document verification at the counter itself.

Who Should Apply for This Recruitment?

This opportunity is best suited for candidates who have already spent several years working in the child welfare or child rights space — for instance, professionals who have worked with district child protection units, education departments, health departments, or in academic roles connected to child psychology, sociology, or special education. Since the role requires quasi-judicial responsibilities such as attending sittings and taking decisions on cases involving minors, candidates who can commit a minimum of six hours per sitting and are comfortable with a part-time, sitting-based engagement rather than a fixed daily job will find this role more practical than someone looking for a conventional 9-to-5 government position.

Candidates currently associated with any NGO working in child rescue or rehabilitation, or those running a Child Care Institution, should carefully re-check the conflict-of-interest clause before applying, since such association makes a candidate ineligible.

Common Mistakes to Avoid While Applying

• Applying for a district other than your own permanent district of residence, which leads to automatic rejection.
• Submitting an incomplete set of educational certificates — the notification asks for certificates right from HSLC up to Post Graduation, not just the highest qualification.
• Forgetting to attach the Form 49 affidavit, which is compulsory for both CWC and JJB applicants.
• Providing an experience certificate that doesn’t clearly mention the number of years or the nature of child-related work done.
• Missing the age proof certificate, without which the application cannot be verified for the 35–62 years age criteria.
• Submitting the form after office hours on the last date, since offline submissions strictly follow working-hour timings.
