Assam Rifles Technical & Tradesman Rally 2026 Selection Process

Selection proceeds through several sequential stages; only candidates qualifying each stage move to the next.

RFID-Based Physical Standard Test (PST) & Physical Efficiency Test (PET): Height/chest/weight measurement and the qualifying run, as detailed above.

Documentation Verification (DV): Conducted alongside PST/PET reporting; candidates must produce the original of the payment receipt/challan and the printed application form/notification copy.

Computer Based Test (CBT): 100-mark objective-type question paper. Minimum pass marks: 35% for General/EWS candidates; 33% for SC/ST/OBC candidates. Candidates successful in the RFID PET/PST, Documentation Verification and CBT are shortlisted to the Trade Skill Test.

Trade Skill Test: Based on a Computer Based Trade Test and a Specific Practical Skill Test; no marks are awarded (purely qualifying – pass/fail). Shortlisting for the Skill Test is based on merit in the CBT, at roughly 4 times the number of vacancies (1:4 ratio) per trade/category.

Detailed Medical Examination (DME) & Review Medical Examination (RME): Conducted as per the Uniform Guidelines for Recruitment Medical Examination for GOs and NGOs in CAPFs and AR (MHA UO No. A.VI-1/2014-Rectt(SSB) dated 20 May 2015, and MHA OM No. E.32012/ADG(Med)/DME&RME-DA-1/2020(Part File)/1166 dated 31 May 2021, as amended).

Merit List & Call for Training: Candidates qualifying in all stages (PST, PET, CBT/Trade Skill Test, and Medical Examination) are placed in a trade- and category-wise Merit List, per the vacancies in Appendix ‘B’. Instructions to join the Training Centre are issued based on the Merit List. Qualifying all tests does not by itself guarantee final selection – final selection depends on a candidate’s position in the Merit List against category/trade vacancy availability.
