The Directorate General Assam Rifles, Shillong (Ministry of Home Affairs), has invited online applications from male Indian citizens for 354 Group C Technical and Tradesman posts, under Memo No. I.12016/A Branch (Rect Cell)/2026/1892 dated 3 November 2026, published in Employment News 14 to 20 November 2026.

IMPORTANT — the earlier advertisement stands CANCELLED

The earlier Technical and Tradesman advertisement dated 25 September 2026 (Memo No. I.12016/A Branch (Rect Cell)/2026/1310 dated 27 August 2026; window 28 September to 28 October 2026; rally 23 November 2026) stands CANCELLED and is replaced by this fresh notification. The Rs. 100 fee paid under the cancelled advertisement will be refunded to the payee's same bank account. Candidates who applied under the cancelled advertisement must apply afresh under this notification. (Some secondary sources still show the old memo number 1310 — that is stale; the correct memo is 1892.)
