Assam Police Cutoff — What Score Is Actually Considered Safe?

The Assam Police Constable Cut Off 2025 was officially released on May 1, 2025 on slprbassam.in alongside the written exam result. The cutoff is given district-wise, category-wise, and gender-wise in a downloadable PDF. The highest confirmed cutoff from the 2025 cycle was 121 marks for male Unreserved category candidates in some districts. Cutoffs varied significantly — from approximately 70+ marks in lower-competition categories and districts to 121 in the most competitive.

No — the Assam Police cutoff is district-wise, meaning different districts have different cutoff marks for the same category. Districts with more candidates competing for fewer vacancies (typically Kamrup Metro, Guwahati) tend to have higher cutoffs. Districts with fewer candidates relative to vacancies have lower cutoffs. This is why checking your specific district’s 2025 cutoff from the official PDF matters much more than using a general “expected cutoff” figure from any secondary site.

The 2025 cutoff was released as a cutoff against 200 marks. However, the exact components making up these 200 marks have not been transparently explained across the available sources — we found the confirmed 200-mark total but the addition beyond PET (40) + Written (50) + NCC (5) + Viva (5) = 100 suggests academic marks (HSLC percentage component) or another merit component may be included. The official 2026 notification will specify the exact merit formula — always verify this before mapping your 2025 100-mark estimates to the 200-mark cutoff directly.

Yes — significantly. The 2025 cutoff data covers separate cutoffs for UR (Unreserved), OBC/MOBC, SC, ST(P), ST(H), Tea Tribe/Adivasi, and Ex-Servicemen categories, all within the same district. Reserved category cutoffs are meaningfully lower than UR cutoffs in the same district, reflecting the reservation policy. Female candidates also have separate cutoffs that are not directly comparable to male cutoffs because female PET carries 60 marks vs 40 for males, changing the total score distribution.

Genuinely uncertain, and anyone claiming to know precisely is guessing. Two opposing forces are at work: more vacancies in 2026 (1,715 Constable posts) could lower cutoffs if the applicant pool stays similar; but awareness of the recruitment has grown, potentially increasing the applicant pool and pushing cutoffs up. Our honest recommendation: target 110+ marks in your combined merit score as a conservative safety target, regardless of the 2026 cutoff direction — this keeps you competitive across most districts and categories without needing to predict exactly where the cutoff lands.

An NCC certificate effectively lowers the score you need to match a given cutoff, since the bonus marks are added to your merit total. If the cutoff in your district is 100 marks and you hold a Grade C NCC certificate (which may give 3–5 bonus marks), you need only 95–97 from PET + Written + Viva to clear the same threshold. If you hold an NCC certificate, this can be the difference between clearing and not clearing in a competitive district. Carry the original NCC certificate to PST/PET for verification.
