How Many Vacancies are in DLRS Assam Land Record Assistant Recruitment 2026?
There is only one post, so the category split below covers all 579 seats. The notification shows women’s seats (RFW) as a sub-column inside each category, not as extra seats.
| Category | Total Seats | Of which RFW |
|---|---|---|
| UR | 316 | 95 |
| OBC / MOBC | 137 | 41 |
| OBC (T) | 20 | 6 |
| STP (ST Plains) | 45 | 13 |
| STH (ST Hills) | 23 | 7 |
| SC | 38 | 11 |
| Total | 579 | 173 |
Seats for persons with disability and ex-servicemen are also counted within the 579.
| Reservation | Seats |
|---|---|
| PwD – PH A | 7 |
| PwD – PH B | 3 |
| PwD – PH C | 4 |
| PwD – PH D | 2 |
| PwD (all four sub-types) | 16 |
| Ex-Servicemen | 6 |
The DLRS says these figures are the category-wise vacancies received from the District Commissioners. Your category seat count matters, because selection follows merit within category-wise reservation. For example, a woman candidate in the OBC / MOBC group competes for 137 OBC / MOBC seats, of which 41 are marked RFW. Fill your category honestly in the form, because you will need the matching caste certificate from the competent authority at document verification. A category you cannot prove later can cost you the seat.
What is the Eligibility for DLRS Assam Land Record Assistant Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| RCCC Training | Passed the six-month Recorder Certificate Class Course at Assam Survey & Settlement Training Centre, Dakhingaon, Guwahati-40, in both Survey and Settlement subjects |
| RCCC Result Cut-off | Declared proficient by official result of the Director of Land Records & Surveys, Assam, before Govt. notification No. LA&A/429557/158 dated 13/08/2026 came into force |
| Computer Skill | Typing speed of at least 30 WPM in English and 15 WPM in Assamese / Bengali |
Please note this carefully. The RCCC result must be declared before that August 2026 notification came into force. A pass in only one subject, Survey or Settlement, does not meet the rule. Typing is tested again in the Skill Test, so practise both languages now.
This is not an open graduate-level post. The RCCC certificate from the Dakhingaon centre is the gateway, so candidates without it cannot apply, whatever their degree. If you completed the course but are unsure about your result date, check your RCCC result copy before you fill the form.
Age Limit
| Category | Age Limit |
|---|---|
| All candidates | 21 to 40 years as on 01-01-2026 |
| Reserved categories | Relaxation as per Government OM No. ABP.6/2016/51 dated 02/09/2020 |
🎂 Not sure if you meet the age criteria? Use our free Age Calculator for Government Exams to find your exact age on the cut-off date and instantly check your eligibility — including any age relaxation you qualify for. →
The notification does not list the years of relaxation for each category. It only points to that Government OM, so check the OM for your own category. Age is counted from your Class X or Class XII admit card, pass certificate or mark sheet that clearly shows your date of birth.
What is the Salary of DLRS Assam Land Record Assistant 2026?
The post is placed in Pay Band-2 (₹14,000 – ₹70,000) with a Grade Pay of ₹6,200.
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Pay Band | P.B-2: ₹14,000 – ₹70,000 |
| Grade Pay | ₹6,200 |
| Allowances | Usual allowances as admissible under Assam Government rules |
The advertisement does not give an in-hand figure, so we have not guessed one. Allowances follow Assam Government rules for this pay band. It is a regular post in the district revenue set-up, a steady career for survey-trained candidates. Land record work is also the backbone of every district office, so the experience you build here stays useful for years.
What is the Selection Process for DLRS Assam Land Record Assistant 2026?
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Shortlisting | Candidates whose applications are accepted are shortlisted and notified in due course |
| Written Examination (Paper-I) | 80 marks, objective MCQ |
| Skill Test (Paper-II) | 20 marks, practical typing test in English and Assamese or Bengali |
| Document Verification | Originals with self-attested copies |
| Final Merit List | Aggregate of Written Exam and Skill Test marks |
| Written Exam Subject | Marks |
|---|---|
| Mathematics (Class X standard) | 10 |
| Conventional Survey | 50 |
| Modern Survey | 20 |
| Paper-I marks | 80 |
There is a negative marking of 0.25 mark for every wrong answer in the Written Examination, so guess carefully.
| Category | Minimum Marks (Written / Skill Test) |
|---|---|
| UR (50%) | 40 / 10 |
| OBC, MOBC, STP, STH, SC and PwD (40%) | 32 / 8 |
Only candidates the Selection Board declares qualified in the written exam, in the ratio it decides, are called for the Skill Test. You must clear the minimum in both parts. Survey topics carry 70 of 80 marks, so revise your RCCC notes well. Browse our syllabus section for more exam guidance.
A simple plan works best here. Spend most of your time on Conventional Survey, since it alone is worth 50 marks. Keep Modern Survey topics fresh, and do a few Class X maths papers each week. Practise typing daily in English and in Assamese or Bengali, because a weak Skill Test can pull down a good written score.
