  • Hindi Reporter: Rs 35,000 per month

No TA or DA is paid for attending the test or interview.

Selection Process

The notice sets out three stages:

  2. Shortlisted candidates for Hindi Reporter sit a speed test conducted by the Secretariat.
  3. Shortlisted candidates for Hindi, Bengali and Karbi Translator appear before an interview board conducted by the Secretariat.

The list of shortlisted candidates, and the date, place and venue of each test or interview, are published only on the official website. Shortlisted candidates download their admit card from the same website. All correspondence about the recruitment is online — the notice states that no personal correspondence, online or offline, will be entertained during the process, so check the website regularly once you have applied.

How to Apply for Assam Legislative Assembly Recruitment 2026

Applications are accepted online only, on the Assam Legislative Assembly Secretariat website. The window is open from 10:00 hrs on 10 September 2026 until 24 September 2026. There is no offline or postal option.

  1. Open the recruitment section of the Assam Legislative Assembly Secretariat's official website.
  2. Read the full notification and confirm which single post you are eligible for.
  3. Register online and fill in your personal, educational and language-qualification details exactly as they appear on your certificates.
  4. Upload the documents asked for at registration, including proof of your degree, your language or stenography qualification and the computer application certificate.
  5. Submit before the closing date and save a copy of the completed application.

An application that is incomplete is summarily rejected, so check every uploaded file before you submit. If a scan is over the size limit, our PDF compressor and image compressor bring it down; to combine photographed certificates into one file use image to PDF, and image resizer for a photograph that is the wrong dimensions. A passport photo tool is there if you need a compliant photo.

What to Weigh Before Applying

The pull of this recruitment is the work and the setting: reporting and translation for the proceedings of the state legislature, at the Assembly Secretariat in Dispur. The field is also narrower than a general Assam government vacancy, because each post needs a specific language qualification.

The trade-off is the terms. These are contractual posts with a six-month initial term and no pay-band or regular-service benefits, and the Secretariat keeps the right to end the engagement without notice or reason. Weigh that against a permanent post you might be preparing for elsewhere. If parliamentary reporting or translation is the direction you want, the preference given to candidates with parliamentary or newspaper experience means this is a route worth taking — put any such experience clearly in your application.
