Assam LRA Selection Process 2026
The selection process consists of a written examination followed by a practical computer proficiency test for candidates shortlisted according to the prescribed criteria.
Candidates must secure the required minimum qualifying marks in both components and fulfil all eligibility conditions during document verification.
Stage 1: Written Examination
Paper I will be an objective-type examination carrying 80 marks. Candidates will answer multiple-choice questions covering Mathematics, Conventional Survey and Modern Survey.
Written Examination Marks Distribution
| Subject | Marks |
|---|---|
| Mathematics (Class X Standard) | 10 |
| Conventional Survey | 50 |
| Modern Survey | 20 |
| Total | 80 |
Conventional Survey carries the highest weightage in the written examination. Candidates should therefore devote sufficient time to survey-related concepts and practical knowledge while also revising Class X Mathematics.
Negative Marking
According to the provided recruitment details, 0.25 mark will be deducted for each incorrect answer.
Candidates should read each question carefully and avoid unnecessary guessing. Regular practice with objective questions can help improve both speed and accuracy.
Stage 2: Skill Test
Paper II will be a practical computer proficiency test carrying 20 marks.
The test will assess typing skills in English and Assamese or Bengali.
Candidates should practise typing in the relevant language regularly, focusing on accuracy, speed and correct use of the keyboard.
Minimum Qualifying Marks
The prescribed minimum qualifying marks are different for the Unreserved category and the specified reserved categories.
| Category | Written Examination (80 Marks) | Skill Test (20 Marks) |
|---|---|---|
| UR | 40 (50%) | 10 (50%) |
| OBC/MOBC, STP, STH, SC and PwD (PH) | 32 (40%) | 8 (40%) |
Candidates must meet the applicable qualifying requirements in both stages. Merely securing the minimum qualifying marks does not guarantee selection.
Final Merit List
The final merit list will be prepared using the aggregate marks obtained in the written examination and skill test, subject to the prescribed qualifying requirements and successful verification of eligibility documents.
Selection will be based on merit and the applicable category-wise reservation rules.
