Assam CM announces exams to fill 5,734 state jobs on Feb 1, 2027

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced on Saturday that recruitment examinations will start on 1 February 2027 to fill 5,734 vacancies in six state departments. He posted on X that the jobs will begin after the exams are cleared and gave his "young friends" three full months to prepare. The Assam Police tops the list with 2,236 openings, followed by the Forest Department with 1,307 posts. Home Guard positions total 827, while the Assam Police Radio Organisation offers 684 slots. Fire and emergency services have 489 vacancies and prisons 191. The six departments will begin the selection process on the announced date. The drive seeks to plug staffing gaps in law‑enforcement and emergency services across the state. ## Context Recruitment drives of this size are typical in Indian states after budget allocations for public‑service hiring, providing a major employment boost for graduates and job seekers in Assam.
