Guwahati: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that the oral interview of the
Assam Direct Recruitment Examination
(ADRE) for Grade III and IV posts would be held from June 15. The written exams were conducted last year.
The CM, in a social media live session on Sunday night, said the next phase of the exam would encompass various assessments, including computer proficiency, skill-based evaluations, driving tests and oral examinations for Grade III and Grade IV positions.
"Examinations for roles such as Grade III drivers, stenographers, and electricians under Assam Power Distribution Company Limited have already been conducted," he noted. "Now, the computer test for Grade III, tests for drivers, and skill tests for stenographers and electricians will begin on June 15. We intend to conclude this round of assessments within a month."
The administration plans to simultaneously conduct oral and viva-voce assessments for successful Grade IV written examination candidates from June 15, with a targeted completion within one month.
A comprehensive notification detailing the schedules and procedures will be issued in the coming days. "I appeal to all qualified candidates to begin their preparations in earnest," Sarma said.
The written examinations for the recruitment to the posts in the Assam govt were conducted in the state in September-October on Sunday amid extensive arrangements, including an eight-hour suspension of mobile internet services to prevent malpractices and tight security, and without any incident of irregularity reported.

Over 7.34 lakh candidates were eligible to appear in the second phase of the Assam ADRE held for the Grade III posts with bachelor degree level and HSLC level posts. An almost similar number of aspirants were eligible for Grade IV exams. The mobile internet services were suspended in order to "prevent any possible attempt to leak question papers or any irregularity".
The home and political department also issued a standard operating procedure (SOP) for frisking due to prior allegations of improper conduct during the first phase of the examination that was conducted in September.

'Haven't slept in 3 days': Fear grips Indian students in Iran; Israel escalates attack
Fear grips Indian students in Iran as Israel-Iran conflict escalates (AP) As tensions between Israel and Iran reach a boiling point, Indian students studying in Iran are growing increasingly desperate for help, urging the Indian government to evacuate them before the situation deteriorates further. A series of aerial attacks on Iranian cities near residential areas has made the situation tense and jarring for students who have enrolled in different medical universities across the country. Several Indian students, mostly from Jammu and Kashmir prefer Iranian medical programmes mostly for their affordability. 'One blast happened just 5 kilometres from our hostel. Over 350 Indian students are enrolled here. We're terrified', said Imtisal Mohidin, a third-year MBBS student at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran. 'We were jolted awake by explosions at around 2:30 am on Friday and rushed to the basement. Since then, we haven't been able to sleep.' A first-year student at Kerman University of Medical Sciences describes the distressing situation in Iran.'We heard gunshots today. We've been told to stock up on drinking water,' said Faizan, who hails from Srinagar. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo 'My parents call me 10 times a day. The internet is barely working. We came here to study, but now our only concern is survival. With flights suspended and Iranian airspace under restrictions, the students say returning home is their only hope for safety. Responding to the mounting concern, the Indian Embassy in Tehran has advised all nationals and persons of Indian origin to stay indoors and follow verified communication channels, including a dedicated Telegram group for updates. Imtisal, a 22-year-old MBBS student in his third year at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, noted that his university alone has more than 350 Indian students enrolled. 'The embassy is in touch and has shared helpline numbers, but we're really scared. We're asking the Indian government to bring us back before anything worse happens,' he added. A statement from the Ministry of External Affairs confirmed that the embassy is closely monitoring developments and in contact with affected students. 'The safety and well-being of Indian students is our priority. Some are being shifted to safer areas within Iran with the embassy's help. Other options are also being looked into,' the statement said.

Manipur aspirants struggle as highway restrictions disrupt exam access
In the violence-hit district of Churachandpur, government job aspirants are facing a major competitive disadvantage due to the inaccessibility of examination centres. Amid ongoing ethnic conflict in Manipur since May 3, aspirants have been forced to travel hundreds of kilometres outside the state to appear for exams such as SSC, NDA, NEET, UPSC, and UGC-NTA, putting them at a severe academic and financial disadvantage, student leaders said. While Imphal, the nearest exam centre, is just 62 kilometres away, ongoing unrest and movement restrictions have made it inaccessible. As a result, many students have had to travel as far as Aizawl, Guwahati, or Agartala, incurring high travel costs and enduring physical and mental stress. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: 1 simple trick to get all TV channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo "Travelling nearly 300 kilometres through hilly terrain has drained us physically and financially," said Tiffany Ngaineilam Simte, a government job aspirant. "Many deserving students missed exams because they simply couldn't afford to go." Coaching centres like ULTIMATE and welfare groups such as the Siamsinpawlpi (SSPP) have been supporting students, but the logistical and emotional toll remains heavy. "Despite these odds, our students remain dauntless," said Papau, a local coordinator, praising their perseverance. Live Events Students like Chingngaihkim and Rebecca Vahneilhing Mate recounted issues such as a lack of accommodation, unfamiliar exam environments, and the stress of long journeys, all of which, they said, significantly affected their performance. Ginmuan, a teacher at Ultimate Coaching Centre, emphasised: "Since this conflict started, our access to Imphal exam centres is gone. Some are sent to Agartala or Guwahati. This has added immense financial and psychological stress." Samuel Taithul, President of the Zomi Students Federation (ZSF), added: "Our students are not only burdened financially but are also at a real competitive disadvantage." The ZSF continues to press the authorities to set up an examination centre in Churachandpur, a demand that students say is long overdue and essential for academic equity.

Filmmaker vanishes minutes after Air India crash; phone last traced 700 metres away from wreckage
DNA samples of a filmmaker's family have been submitted to authorities after his mysterious disappearance on Thursday, with his last mobile phone location traced to a spot just 700 metres from the site of the catastrophic Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad. On Thursday afternoon, students of B.J. Medical College in Meghaninagar were having lunch in their hostel dining hall when a Boeing 787 aircraft, carrying fuel, crashed into the building and exploded. Flight AI171 had taken off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport at 1:39pm on Thursday. It made a dangerous descent that ended in disaster, killing all but one of the 242 people on board. An additional 29 people died on the ground. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search ads Learn More Undo According to a report from the Press Trust of India, only one of the two black boxes used to record flight data has been recovered by investigators so far. Most victims have not yet been identified, and authorities are relying on DNA testing to match remains with relatives. A final death toll has not been released yet. As of now, 80 of the dead have been identified using DNA samples, and 33 bodies have been handed over to family members. Among those feared dead is Mahesh Kalawadia from Naroda, who was also known as Mahesh Jirawala .

However, when he did not return, I called up on his phone but it was switched off. After police were intimated, the last location of his mobile phone showed he was 700 metres away from the crash site," Hetal said. "His phone got switched off around 1.40 pm (a minute after the ill-fated flight took off). His scooter and mobile phone are missing. All this is unusual since he would never use that route (as per the last location) to come home. We have submitted DNA samples to check if he was one of those killed on the ground due to the crash," she added. Because of the intense fire and damage caused by the explosion, many bodies were severely burned or dismembered, making visual identification impossible in many cases. Authorities have turned to DNA tests to confirm the identities of those who died in the incident. Three days after the crash, hospital officials announced on Sunday that DNA testing has helped identify 47 victims so far. Officials also said that 24 of these bodies have been released to their families.
