DLRS Assam Recruitment 2026: 579 LRA Posts, Only for RCCC Holders
This is not an open call. Only people who have passed the six-month Recorders Certificate Class Course (RCCC) at the Assam Survey & Settlement Training Centre can apply. If you do not hold an RCCC pass certificate, skip this one. The latest government jobs in Assam and our ADRE guide cover state posts that need only a school or college qualification.
DLRS Assam Vacancy 2026: Posts by Category
All 579 posts are for one role, Land Record Assistant, under the amalgamated establishment of the District Commissioners' offices. The notice leaves out Sixth Schedule areas, so there are no posts in the Bodoland Territorial Region (Kokrajhar, Chirang, Baksa, Udalguri and Tamulpur), Karbi Anglong, West Karbi Anglong or Dima Hasao. The split below is what the District Commissioners reported to the Directorate.
| Category | Posts | Reserved for women |
|---|---|---|
| UR | 316 | 95 |
| OBC/MOBC | 137 | 41 |
| OBC (T) | 20 | 6 |
| ST (P) | 45 | 13 |
| ST (H) | 23 | 7 |
| SC | 38 | 11 |
| Total | 579 | 173 |
Of these, 16 posts are kept for persons with disabilities (7 PH-A, 3 PH-B, 4 PH-C and 2 PH-D) and 6 for ex-servicemen. They are counted inside the 579, not added to it.
This Is a Re-advertisement
The Directorate first advertised these posts on 14 March 2026 under No. DLR-11013(21)/50/2025/130. The new notice, No. DLR-11013(21)/50/2025/372, cancels that one and invites applications afresh. If you applied in March, apply again.
The fresh round follows a government notification of 13 August 2026 that relaxed the Assam Land Records Subordinate Service Rules, 2023 for this recruitment. That date decides who is eligible.
Land Record Assistant Eligibility
The only qualification the notice names is the RCCC. There is no separate degree or HS requirement.
- RCCC: you must have passed the Recorders Certificate Class Course at the Assam Survey & Settlement Training Centre, Dakhingaon, Guwahati-40, and been declared proficient in both Survey and Settlement subjects in a result issued by the Director of Land Records & Surveys. That result must have come out before 13 August 2026. If you passed after that date, you cannot apply this round.
- Computer typing: at least 30 words per minute in English and 15 in Assamese or Bengali. The skill test checks this.
- Government employees: apply through proper channel and bring a No Objection Certificate from your head of department to document verification.
You will be asked for certificates of every exam from HSLC onwards at verification, so keep your HSLC certificate ready even though it is not the qualifying exam.
DLRS Assam Age Limit
You must be between 21 and 40 years old as on 1 January 2026. That means a date of birth from 2 January 1985 to 1 January 2005, both days included. Your date of birth is read from your Class X or Class XII admit card, pass certificate or mark sheet. The age calculator gives your exact age on that date.
Reserved categories get age relaxation under Government OM No. ABP.6/2016/51 of 2 September 2020. The advertisement cites that order but does not print the years for each category. You need a valid category certificate to claim it. See how to get a caste certificate in Assam if yours is not ready.
LRA Salary and Pay Scale
The post is in Pay Band-2, Rs 14,000 to Rs 70,000, with Grade Pay of Rs 6,200, plus the usual allowances under Assam government rules. The notice does not give a fixed monthly figure.
Exam Pattern and Qualifying Marks
Selection is a 100-mark process in two parts. There is no interview. Some job sites list 21 October 2026 as an interview date. That is the last date to apply.
| Paper | Subject | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Paper I: written test (MCQ) | Mathematics (Class X standard) | 10 |
| Paper I: written test (MCQ) | Conventional Survey | 50 |
| Paper I: written test (MCQ) | Modern Survey | 20 |
| Paper II: skill test | Computer proficiency: English and Assamese or Bengali typing | 20 |
| Total | 100 |
The written test takes off 0.25 marks for each wrong answer, so leave a question blank rather than guess blind. To qualify, UR candidates need 50% in each part (40 of 80 in the written test and 10 of 20 in the skill test). OBC/MOBC, ST (P), ST (H), SC and PwD candidates need 40% (32 and 8).
- Applications are screened and a shortlist is published.
- Shortlisted candidates sit the written MCQ test.
- Those who reach the qualifying marks, in a ratio the Selection Board sets, take the skill test.
- Candidates shortlisted after the skill test go to document verification.
- The final merit list adds written and skill test marks, with category-wise reservation.
Exam dates are not out yet. The notice also says posts may stay unfilled if not enough candidates reach the qualifying marks.
