Cracking the Assam Police Constable exam takes more than general awareness — you need to know exactly how SLPRB structures the selection process, what the written test covers, and what physical standards you must clear before you even reach the exam hall. This guide covers the complete Assam Police Constable syllabus and exam pattern, based on the latest SLPRB notification (No. 727/2025/94) for 1,715 Constable (UB & AB) posts.
Assam Police Constable Selection Process (Order of Stages)
| Stage | Nature |
|---|---|
| 1. Physical Efficiency Test (PET) + Medical Check | Scored (40–60 marks) |
| 2. Physical Standard Test (PST) | Qualifying only |
| 3. Written Test (CWT) | Scored (50 marks) |
| 4. Document Verification | Qualifying |
| 5. Oral/Viva-Voce | Qualifying/Scored (post-specific) |
Only candidates ranked within roughly 5 times the number of vacancies per category/district (based on PET marks) are called forward to the Written Test — so your physical test score decides whether you even get to sit the written exam.

Preparation Tips
- Start physical training (running + long jump) at least 3–4 months before your PET date — it decides whether you even sit the written exam.
- Dedicate a separate study block to Assam-specific GK; it’s the section most candidates under-prepare for.
- Practise OMR-based mock tests to build speed for the 120-minute, 100-question format.
- Check the Assam Police Cut Off Marks trends for your category and district to set a realistic target score.
