Earlier, on the 7th of March 2025, the State Level Recruitment Commission (SLRC) had officially announced the results of the written exam for Grade III and Grade IV vacancies. At the same time, while making the results public, SLRC had also published the category-wise ADRE Cut-Off 2025 for each post, offering transparency and clarity for all concerned applicants.

A total of 12,600 vacancies have been declared in the current edition of ADRE at both Grade III and Grade IV levels. And the recruitment drive held independently for each category drew a record number of applications, with an estimated number of 30 lakh aspirants.

Also, CM Sarma assured that recruitment tests for other Grade III vacancies, including drivers, stenographers, and electricians in various departments like Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL) have already been held. These vacancies needed specialised skills and were tested so based on their requirements separately.

In a nutshell, the latest updates from CM Sarma will give relief to lakhs of aspirants waiting for further steps in the recruitment process. Being set to commence on June 15, aspirants need to boost their preparation to succeed in the second phase as well. With the state’s emphasis on meritocracy and transparency, hopes have been kindled among aspirants, and the end to this recruitment drive marks an important milestone in the employment sector in Assam.
