Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday informed that the state government will hold a recruitment ceremony on (Thursday) May 25 at the Veterinary College ground in Guwahati’s Khanapara where appointment letters will be handed over to 44,703 candidates.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah will also arrive in Guwahati to attend the ceremony, the chief minister informed.
The Assam Government had promised jobs to 45,000 candidates however, when the specially-abled candidates were re-examined, some of them couldn’t pass the medical test. This is why their results are being kept withheld.
At this time, a total of 44,703 will be recruited, he said.
The chief minister provided a breakdown of the recruitment process, highlighting the various departments and positions to be filled. Out of the total candidates who appeared for the examination, 11,048 would be recruited for Class 3 positions.

Sarma stressed that candidates must carry an identity card and will have to join their designated places of duty before June 15. Failure to do so would be considered as reluctance to take up the job.
“With the appointment of 44,703 candidates on May 25, recruitment to 88,000 posts will be completed on the path of providing 1 lakh government jobs. And since there are overlapping in many places therefore we have decided to publish advertisements for 22,000 posts under various departments in July this year,” the CM added.
