If you’re preparing for Assam Police recruitment, the Assam Police cut off marks are the single most important number to track — they decide whether your Physical Efficiency Test or Written Test score is good enough to move to the next stage. Because the State Level Police Recruitment Board (SLPRB) declares cut offs separately for every district, category, and gender, the same exam can have very different qualifying marks depending on where and who you are.
This guide breaks down the latest Assam Police cut off marks for both Constable (AB/UB) and Sub-Inspector (SI) posts, explains how SLPRB calculates them, and shows the vacancy and exam-pattern trends behind the numbers.
What Are Assam Police Cut Off Marks?
The Assam Police cut off marks are the minimum qualifying score a candidate must achieve at a given stage (PET, Written Test, or final merit) to be shortlisted for the next round. SLPRB does not release one single cut off for the whole state — instead, it publishes a matrix of cut offs across:
- District (all 35 districts of Assam)
- Category (UR, OBC/MOBC, SC, ST(P), ST(H), Tea-Tribe & Adivasi, EWS)
- Gender (Male / Female, separate merit lists)
- Post/Branch (Constable AB, Constable UB, SI, Driver, Boatman, Havildar, and more)
That’s why a Constable (AB) aspirant in Kamrup Metropolitan and one in Dima Hasao can see very different cut off marks in the very same recruitment cycle.
How SLPRB Decides Assam Police Cut Off Marks
Before looking at numbers, it helps to know the stages that produce them.
Constable (AB/UB) Selection Stages
| Stage | What it Checks | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| PST | Height, chest, weight | Qualifying only |
| PET | Race, Long Jump, Chin-ups (AB male) | Up to 40–60 |
| Written Test | 100 MCQs, Class IX–X level | 50 (0.5/correct, no negative marking) |
| Viva-Voce / Trade Test | Interview / skill check | Post-specific |
Only around 5 times the number of vacancies per category/district are called forward from PET to the Written Test — this ratio is a big reason cut offs vary so much by district.
Sub-Inspector (SI) Selection Stages
| Stage | What it Checks | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| PST/PMT | Height, chest, weight | Qualifying only |
| Written Test | 100 MCQs (GK, Reasoning, History) | 100 (1/correct, -0.5 negative marking) |
| PET | Race, Long Jump | 40 |
| Viva-Voce/Psychometric Test | Interview | Post-specific |
Key update: SLPRB reduced the SI Written Test from 200 marks to 100 marks starting with the exam held in January 2025. If you’re comparing old and new Assam Police cut off marks for SI, always check which scale applies — a “72” out of 200 and a “72” out of 100 mean very different things.
(If you haven’t reviewed the Assam Police SI Exam Pattern & Syllabus yet, it’s worth checking before comparing cut-off numbers.)

Assam Police Recruitment Vacancy Trend (Past Years)
| Notification Year | Constable (UB+AB) | SI |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | – | 597 |
| 2022 | – | 306 |
| 2023 (exam 2025) | 3,945 | 203 |
| 2025 (exam pending) | 1,715 | 147 |
The 2023-advertised Constable drive was one of the largest in recent years. The newer 2025/26 drive has fewer posts for what is typically a similarly large applicant pool — which usually means higher Assam Police cut off marks this time, all else being equal.
Factors That Affect Assam Police Cut Off Marks
- Vacancies vs. applicants – Fewer posts or more applicants pushes cut offs up.
- Paper difficulty – An easier paper inflates scores and raises the cut off; a tougher paper lowers it.
- Category and reservation policy – UR is always highest; OBC/MOBC, SC, ST(P), ST(H) and Tea-Tribe & Adivasi are progressively lower.
- District-wise vacancy distribution – Districts with very few sanctioned posts can show sharp swings, including “NC” (no candidate qualified) in small reserved categories.
- Gender-wise quota – Male and female merit lists are prepared separately, so female cut offs are typically lower — not a lower standard, just a separate list.
- Exam pattern changes – A change in maximum marks (like SI’s cut from 200 to 100) makes raw numbers incomparable across years unless rescaled.
Assam Police Salary (After Clearing the Cut Off)
| Post | Pay Scale | Grade Pay |
|---|---|---|
| Constable (AB/UB) | Rs. 14,000 – 70,000 | Rs. 5,600 |
| Sub-Inspector | Rs. 14,000 – 70,000 (PB-2) | Rs. 8,700 |

Frequently Asked Questions About Assam Police Cut Off Marks

Conclusion
The Assam Police cut off marks are never a fixed number — they shift with vacancies, applicant numbers, exam difficulty, and category-wise reservation rules, and SLPRB now publishes them down to the district and gender level. Whether you’re targeting a Constable (AB/UB) post or an SI post, track the last two or three cycles for your category and district, watch for structural changes like SI’s shift from 200 to 100 marks, and always confirm the final figure on SLPRB’s official website before you plan your next move.
