    The written examination for Class IV positions will take place on August 7, while the written examination for Class III posts will take place on August 21.

    Digital Desk: Assam government’s
    recent announcement of 26 thousand posts in Class III and Class IV of various
    departments received an overwhelming number of candidates.



    According to
    reports, a total of 11,92,509 applicants have applied for these posts in Class
    III and Class IV.



    A total of
    6,71,805 candidates had applied for class III posts, while 4,43,655 candidates
    had applied for class IV posts. Moreover, another 77,049 candidates had applied
    for the post of driver in Class III.



    The Assam
    government made online registration through the District Employment Exchange
    mandatory. However, many applicants were unable to register for the jobs due to
    server troubles, with the servers being down most of the time. This has had a
    significant impact on candidates from rural areas.



    Notably, Assam
    has around 22 lakh, unemployed people, according to the Employment and
    Directorate of Employment and Craftsmen Training. Only 11 lakh unemployed
    people were able to register online. This means that the remaining 11 lakh
    unemployed in the state were unable to apply for these posts. Due to anomalies
    in their Aadhar cards, many people were unable to register.



    Assam Chief
    Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma met with key officials on Thursday to discuss the
    status of the recruitment process for Class III and Class IV positions.



    The Chief
    Minister stated that the entire recruitment procedure will be
    completely transparent. The dates for the next written examination were also
    announced. The written examination for Class IV positions will take place on
    August 7, while the written examination for Class III posts will take place on
    August 21.
