Assam Police Constable and SI: written test and physical, together
No negative marking in the Constable paper, a scored PET and a qualifying PST. How to prepare both sides of the exam at once.
Assam Police recruitment through SLPRB tests the mind and the body. In the reported Constable scheme, the merit list combines PET (40), written test (50), viva (5) and NCC (5). Neglecting either side costs the post.

Eligibility checklist
- Constable (UB/AB): HSLC or HS level as stated for the post; age 18–25 as on 1 January 2026, with category relaxations.
- Sub-Inspector: bachelor’s degree; age per advertisement (around 20–25) with relaxations.
- Physical standard (reported, Constable): height 162.5 cm men / 154 cm women (General); 160 / 152 cm for ST. Chest (men) 80 cm with 5 cm expansion; 78 cm (+5) for ST(H).

Pace and marking
- Time budget. Constable: there is no negative marking, so plan to answer all 100. SI: 180 min ÷ 100 = 1 min 48 s.
- When to attempt. Constable: never leave a bubble blank. SI: follow the advertisement’s negative-marking rule.
- The arithmetic. With no negative marking, a blind guess is worth +0.125 marks on average (0.5 × ¼) and costs nothing. Ruling out options only improves it.
Tips from জয়যাত্ৰা
- Never leave a Constable bubble blank. With no negative marking, a blind guess is worth +0.125 marks on average and costs nothing.
- Train the PET from day one, not after the written test. Log a timed run once a week in the physical tracker.
- Check PST standards now. Height and chest standards depend on sex and category. The self-check shows where you stand; confirm on slprbassam.in.
- Written content is Class 9–10 level: Assam GK, India GK, reasoning, arithmetic and English. Practise at Class 10 level in the banks.
- SI aspirants: follow the advertisement’s negative-marking rule; the paper is longer and deeper.
