1. Introduction

For many government job aspirants in Assam, especially first-generation candidates, the journey is long and uncertain. State-level vacancies in Assam are limited, recruitment cycles are slow, and competition is intense. Naturally, large out-of-state recruitments like the RSSB Clerk / Junior Assistant 2026 attract attention.

This notification is massive in scale-10,644 vacancies-which is rare anywhere in India. However, scale alone should not drive your decision. As an Assam aspirant, you must evaluate language, domicile preference, exam pattern, and posting realities before investing time, money, and emotional energy.

This article is written to help you decide whether this recruitment makes sense for you, not to push you to apply blindly.

3. Post-Wise Eligibility - Ground Reality for Assam Candidates

On paper, the qualification looks simple: 10+2 pass with computer knowledge. In reality, there are three major filters that Assam aspirants often underestimate:

  1. Language Requirement

    • Mandatory knowledge of Hindi written in Devanagari script
    • Typing test in Hindi and English
    • No Assamese language option
      If you studied primarily in Assamese or Bengali medium and are weak in Hindi typing, this is a serious barrier.

  2. Cultural Knowledge Clause

    • Knowledge of Rajasthan culture is explicitly required.
    • This is not symbolic. Rajasthan GK appears in the written exam.

  3. CET (Senior Secondary) Dependency

    • Application requires CET (Senior Secondary)-2024 application number.
    • If you did not appear in Rajasthan CET (10+2 level), you cannot apply, regardless of qualification.

Who is realistically suitable from Assam?

  • Candidates already preparing for SSC CHSL / Clerk-level exams
  • Those comfortable with Hindi grammar and typing
  • Candidates willing to relocate permanently to Rajasthan

Who should avoid this recruitment?

  • Aspirants focused solely on Assam state jobs
  • Candidates weak in Hindi or unfamiliar with Rajasthan GK
  • Those without CET (Senior Secondary) credentials

4. How to Apply - Assam-Specific Guidance

The process is entirely Rajasthan SSO-based. Assam candidates often make avoidable mistakes here.

Application Steps (Official):

  1. Login to Rajasthan SSO Portal
  2. Complete One Time Registration (OTR)
  3. Enter CET (Senior Secondary) application number
  4. Fill recruitment form
  5. Upload documents
  6. Final submission

Common Mistakes by Assam Aspirants:

  • Assuming PRC or Assam domicile is required - it is not
  • Uploading wrong computer certificate (non-recognized)
  • Name mismatch between HS certificate and Aadhaar
  • Ignoring Hindi signature requirement
  • Paying OTR fee multiple times unnecessarily

5. Salary, Growth & Career Outlook

  • Pay Level: Level-5 (approx. ₹29,200 basic after probation)
  • Probation: 2 years with fixed remuneration (no DA, HRA)
  • Posting: Rajasthan state departments only
  • Growth: Clerk → Senior Clerk → Assistant Section Officer (department-dependent)

From a purely financial angle, this is moderate, not exceptional. The real value is job stability, not rapid income growth.

6. Preparation Strategy - If You Decide to Apply

For Assam candidates, preparation must be targeted, not generic.

Daily Focus Areas:

  • Hindi grammar (Devanagari)
  • Hindi typing practice (mandatory)
  • Rajasthan GK (history, geography, culture)
  • Arithmetic & reasoning (CHSL-level)

Timeline Reality:

  • Written exam in July 2026
  • Typing test later
  • Final appointment may stretch into 2027

This is not a quick result cycle.

7. Pros & Cons (Assam Perspective)

Pros

  • Very high vacancy count
  • Lower qualification threshold (10+2)
  • Stable government service

Cons

  • Strong Rajasthan domicile advantage in competition
  • No Assamese language consideration
  • CET dependency limits eligibility
  • Posting far from home state

Be honest: for an Assam candidate, competition is asymmetric.

8. Applicant Checklist (Critical)

Before applying, confirm:

  • ✔ CET (Senior Secondary)-2024 application number available
  • ✔ Valid computer certificate from recognized body
  • ✔ Comfortable with Hindi typing
  • ✔ Willingness to work in Rajasthan long-term
  • ✔ OTR already paid or ready to pay

If any one of these is missing, do not apply impulsively.

9. Conclusion - Apply or Skip?

If you are an Assam aspirant desperate for any government job, fluent in Hindi, and open to interstate service, this is a legitimate opportunity.

If your long-term goal is Assam government service, district-level posting, or Assamese language-based exams, this recruitment may drain your time without proportional return.

Choosing not to apply is also a strategic decision.

10. FAQ - Real Doubts from Assam Aspirants

Q1. Is Assam PRC required?
No. Domicile is not required, but Rajasthan candidates dominate merit.

Q2. Is Assamese language useful here?
No. It has no role in exam or service.

Q3. Can I skip Hindi typing?
No. Typing test is mandatory for non-disabled candidates.

Q4. Is this better than Assam Grade-III posts?
Depends. Assam Grade-III offers local posting; this offers scale.

Q5. Should first-time aspirants apply?
Only if you meet CET and language requirements fully.
