SLPRB Assam Mega Update 2026: Application Re-opened & Age Limit Increased for 5,000+ Posts
Last Date Extended: 28th February 2026 | Source: SLPRB Official Notice
The State Level Police Recruitment Board (SLPRB), Assam has released a massive Corrigendum notice today. In a move that brings relief to thousands of aspirants, the board has re-opened the online application portal for nine major recruitment advertisements. Furthermore, the upper age limit has been increased by 1 year for Sub Inspector posts.
If you missed applying for Assam Police Constable, Forest Guard, Driver, or SI posts earlier, or if you were previously underage/overage by a small margin, this is your FINAL CHANCE.
🔍 Our Analysis: What does this mean for you?
1. The "Golden Year" Effect: The decision to increase the age limit for Sub Inspector (UB) to 27 years and SI (AB) to 25 years is a game-changer. Many candidates who were born in 1999 and 2001 were previously ineligible. This notice specifically brings them back into the competition.
2. Good for Freshers? Absolutely. With the portal re-opening for entry-level posts like Constable (Grade III) and Forest Guard, fresh graduates or 10th/12th pass candidates who graduated recently have another shot at applying.
3. Strategy Shift: Since the application window is short (only 13 days), we expect the competition to increase slightly. However, serious candidates have been preparing since December. If you are starting now, focus on the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) first, as that is the first hurdle.
Key Updates in the Official Notice

2. Physical Standards: Do not ignore the physical test.

🚕 Local Context: Important Advice for Assam Candidates
Server Issues: The SLPRB website (slprbassam.in) historically crashes during the last 2 days due to heavy traffic from lakhs of applicants across the North East. Do not wait until Feb 28th. Apply immediately.
Common Service Centers (CSC): If you are in rural areas (Upper Assam or Barak Valley) and have poor internet, visit your nearest Arunodoi Kendra or CSC early in the morning (around 8 AM) when the servers are fastest.
Documents Ready: Keep your Employment Exchange Registration Card ready, as it is mandatory for most of these posts.
