ADRE Grade 3 Recruitment 2026 notification is not yet officially released as of March 28, 2026. The most reliable way to frame the page right now is as an upcoming notification page using the last official Grade III recruitment pattern: Assam had earlier invited online applications for 7,600 tentative Grade III posts, required Employment Exchange registration in Assam, kept the age band at 18 to 40 years, and accepted applications without any fee. The previous Grade III cycle also used category-based qualification levels and moved from written examination to skill test/document verification depending on post.

The Assam State Portal currently shows the previous ADRE/SLRC Class III recruitment workflow through written exam notices, result notices, skill-test notices, and final appointment-related updates, but not a fresh 2026 notification yet.

No, the fresh ADRE Grade 3 Recruitment 2026 notification is not officially out yet on the Assam government portal/SLRC Grade III portal, based on the currently accessible official pages. What is officially available includes:

• the earlier Grade III advertisement dated October 30, 2023 for 7,600 tentative Class III posts,
• later written-exam pattern/marking notices in 2024,
• result and skill-test notices in 2025, and
• appointment-letter related notices in 2026.

So for ranking purposes, your page should clearly say:

“ADRE Grade 3 Recruitment 2026 Notification is awaited. This article is based on the last official SLRC Grade III recruitment pattern and will be updated immediately after the new notification is released.”

Since the 2026 notification is not officially released yet, the exact dates are not confirmed. The last official Grade III advertisement opened online applications on November 10, 2023 and closed them on December 29, 2023.

The 2026 vacancy figure is not officially announced yet. Any exact 2026 vacancy number being claimed right now should be treated as unverified unless linked to a fresh official notification.

For context, the last official Grade III advertisement invited applications for 7,600 tentative Class III posts under various departments of the Government of Assam. The advertisement also stated that detailed reservation, pay band, and grade pay particulars would be published later before the written examination.

ADRE Grade 3 Vacancy 2026: To be notified officially.
Previous official reference: 7,600 tentative Grade III posts in the earlier cycle.

This is safer and more credible than publishing guessed numbers like 5,000 or 20,000 without a current notification.

Until the 2026 notification arrives, the most reliable eligibility framework is the last official Grade III advertisement.

The previous official Grade III advertisement divided written examination categories into:

• Category I – Bachelor Degree Level
• Category II – HSSLC Level
• Category III – HSLC Level

• Bachelor’s Degree
• Bachelor’s Degree with Computer Certificate/Diploma of minimum 6 months
• Bachelor’s Degree with Computer Certificate/Diploma of minimum 6 months and Stenography Certificate
• Bachelor’s Degree in Library Science with Computer Certificate/Diploma of minimum 6 months
• HSSLC or equivalent
• HSSLC (Science) passed
• HSLC or equivalent passed with valid LMV Driving Licence

Eligibility will depend on post category and may range from HSLC/HSSLC to Bachelor’s degree level, with computer, stenography, or driving requirements for specific posts, following the last official pattern.

The previous official Grade III advertisement fixed the age at:

• Minimum: 18 years
• Maximum: 40 years
• calculated as on 01 January 2023 for that cycle.

Expected age range: 18 to 40 years, subject to the cut-off date mentioned in the official 2026 notification.

The previous official Grade III advertisement gave the following upper-age relaxation:

For 2026, Age relaxation is expected broadly on the same lines unless revised in the new notification.

This is a very important official point that many competitor pages underplay.

The last official Grade III advertisement explicitly invited applications from eligible Indian citizens having registration number in Employment Exchange in the State of Assam.

Candidates should keep their Assam Employment Exchange registration ready, because it was an explicit requirement in the last official Grade III advertisement. The final 2026 notification will confirm whether the same condition continues.

The previous official Grade III advertisement said the detailed selection criteria and examination mode would be communicated later, and specifically stated that after the written examination, shortlisted candidates would have to appear for skill tests such as Computer, Stenography, Driving Skill tests, etc. It also required original testimonials for verification.

The Assam State Portal later published official notices for:

• Computer Skill Test
• Stenography Skill Test
• Driving Skill Test
• Document Verification
• Written exam provisional result notices for Class III posts.

1. Written Examination
2. Post-specific Skill Test, where applicable
3. Document Verification
4. Final selection/allotment

Because the fresh 2026 notification is not out, the 2026 exam pattern is not officially confirmed. However, the last Grade III cycle officially had a dedicated written-exam pattern/syllabus notice, and a separate official marking-pattern notice was published in September 2024.

From the official marking-pattern trail and prior pattern notices, it is clear that:

• the Grade III written exam was structured category-wise,
• there was negative marking in the previous cycle,
• and the recruitment moved category-wise depending on the post.

The fresh 2026 pattern will be confirmed only after the official notice. In the previous official Grade III cycle, the written exam was conducted category-wise and followed a defined marking pattern notified separately by the authorities. Candidates should be prepared for objective-type questions and possible negative marking, because that feature was formally notified in the previous cycle.

The 2026 syllabus is also awaited officially. Based on the previous Grade III cycle and the category-wise written-exam design, preparation should broadly focus on:

• Social Studies
• General Knowledge / Current Affairs
• Logical Reasoning / Mental Ability
• General Mathematics
• General English
• Reading Comprehension / English Language for some graduate-level patterns
• post-specific skill segments where applicable

“ADRE Grade 3 syllabus varies by qualification category and post level. Graduate-level posts, HSSLC-level posts, and licence/skill-linked posts do not always follow an identical pattern.”

The fresh 2026 post-wise pay details are not yet released officially. However, the previous official detailed vacancy list for Class III posts showed Grade Pay ranging from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 8,700, and Assam’s pay-structure documents place Grade III / Group C-type grade pay in that band.

ADRE Grade 3 is a multi-post recruitment, not a single post exam. So job profile depends on the allotted department and post. Previous Grade III cycles covered different administrative, clerical, technical, library, stenography, driving-linked, and computer-linked roles under multiple departments.

• office administration
• clerical support
• data / computer work
• file handling
• field-linked departmental work in specific posts
• driving-related duty for licence-based posts
• stenography / typing / drafting in stenographic posts

The previous official Grade III advertisement clearly stated:

• There will be no application fee for all categories of candidates, and
• candidates were not required to pay any application fee for submission of online applications.

Application fee for ADRE Grade 3 Recruitment 2026 will be confirmed in the official notification. In the last official Grade III cycle, there was no application fee for any category.

The last official Grade III advertisement stated that candidates had to apply online only, and that no other mode of application was allowed.

1. Visit the official Assam recruitment portal.
2. Open the ADRE Grade 3 / SLRC Grade III application link.
3. Register with basic details.
4. Fill the online form carefully.
5. Upload required documents.
6. Submit the form online.
7. Save the application number/acknowledgement for future use.

The previous advertisement also warned that once the application is submitted, there would be no scope for editing/correction/resubmission.

The previous official Grade III advertisement specifically referred to uploading:

• recent passport size photograph
• scanned signature

and later producing original documents such as:

• age proof
• caste certificate, where applicable
• educational qualification certificates
• computer proficiency certificate, where applicable
• disability certificate, where applicable
• declaration under the Assam Public Services Small Family Norms rules.

• Photograph
• Signature
• HSLC / HSSLC / Degree certificates as applicable
• Computer certificate, if required
• Stenography certificate, if required
• LMV driving licence, if required
• Caste / PwBD certificate, if applicable
• Employment Exchange registration details

The previous official Grade III advertisement also carried several conditions that are important for ranking and user trust:

• candidates already in government service must produce NOC at skill test/document verification stage,
• canvassing directly or indirectly leads to disqualification,
• no TA/DA is admissible for written test/skill test,
• selection/allotment may depend on merit, applicable reservation, grade pay order, and departmental allotment rules,
• the Commission can cancel candidature if any ineligibility or false information is found.

No. As of March 28, 2026, I could not verify a fresh official ADRE Grade 3 2026 notification on the Assam government/SLRC Grade III portals.

The previous Grade III advertisement invited online applications for 7,600 tentative Class III posts.

In the last official Grade III advertisement, candidates needed a registration number in the Employment Exchange in the State of Assam.

In the previous official cycle, the age range was 18 to 40 years with category-wise relaxation. The 2026 cut-off date is awaited.

In the last official Grade III cycle, there was no application fee for any category.

Depending on the post, the previous official pattern covered HSLC, HSSLC, HSSLC Science, Bachelor’s degree, degree plus computer certificate, stenography, library science, and LMV licence-linked posts.

Based on the previous official cycle, it involved written exam followed by post-specific skill test/document verification where applicable.

Salary varies by post. In the previous official detailed Class III vacancy list, grade pay ranged from ₹5,000 to ₹8,700.
