The Directorate General Assam Rifles has opened online applications for its Technical and Tradesman Recruitment Rally 2026, offering 354 vacancies across 18 different trades under Group C posts. This recruitment drive is open only to male Indian citizens and covers a wide range of technical roles, including Warrant Officer (Cipher), Rifleman (Electrical Fitter Signal), Rifleman (Armourer), Rifleman (Vehicle Mechanic), and several other specialized trades. Candidates interested in joining Assam Rifles through this technical recruitment rally can apply online starting 28 September 2026, with the application window closing on 28 October 2026. Eligibility varies by trade, with most posts requiring a 10th or 12th pass qualification along with an ITI certificate or diploma in a relevant technical field. The Cipher trade for Warrant Officer requires a higher qualification, including a diploma or degree in electronics, computer science, or related engineering disciplines. The selection process for this recruitment rally is rigorous and multi-staged, beginning with an RFID-based Physical Standard Test and Physical Efficiency Test, followed by documentation verification, a computer-based written exam, a trade-specific skill test, and a detailed medical examination. Candidates must clear each stage to move forward, with final selection based on merit across all rounds combined with category and trade-wise vacancy availability. This is a good opportunity for candidates from ITI and diploma backgrounds looking for a stable central government career with Assam Rifles, one of India's oldest paramilitary forces. Given the wide range of trades on offer, applicants with backgrounds in mechanical, electrical, electronics, and allied technical fields have multiple entry points to apply for based on their specific qualifications. Applicants should note that no travelling allowance is provided for any stage of the recruitment process, and all costs need to be borne by the candidate. It is also worth noting that furnishing false information at any stage can lead to summary rejection of candidature, along with possible legal action. Interested and eligible candidates are advised to read the detailed notification carefully and apply well before the last date to avoid last-minute technical issues on the application portal.
