Expert Preparation Tips

Study Assam-specific security topics: insurgency history, NRC process, border issues with Mizoram and Nagaland, and Assam Police's counter-insurgency operations — these form 10–15% of GS questions.

For IPC and CrPC, focus on police powers of arrest (Section 41 CrPC), bail provisions, FIR registration (Section 154 CrPC), and investigation procedures — test frequently includes scenario-based criminal law questions.

Practise Assamese Language grammar and comprehension; if Assamese is not your mother tongue, begin early with Class IX–X Assamese Board textbooks and work on official document reading in Assamese.

Build physical endurance from the start — incorporate 1.6 km timed runs, long jump training, and shot put practice; achieving PET minimum standards requires at least 3 months of dedicated physical training.
