APSC is the abbreviation for the Assam Public Service Commission, a government agency responsible for recruiting individuals for various roles and positions within public service. This agency operates exclusively within the state and recruits candidates solely for state-level positions. All positions under APSC are funded by the state government. Similarly, each state in India has its own Public Service Commission, all operating within the same legal framework, although there may be slight variations in procedures based on local conditions and the strategies of the ruling party. The APSC’s headquarters is situated in Guwahati, Assam.
Key Responsibilities of the APSC include
- Informing the state’s populace about new job openings through appropriate channels.
- Developing examination syllabus tailored to the positions being recruited for.
- Conducting examinations.
- Interviewing candidates.
The APSC also endeavors to encourage candidates from Scheduled Tribes (ST) and Scheduled Castes (SC) to participate in examinations by providing them with marks and age relaxations.
