For the online application, you need scanned digital copies of your photograph, signature, educational mark sheets, and valid photo ID. After selection, you must produce the original documents along with self-attested photocopies, including your Domicile Certificate, Caste Certificate, and specific post-related certificates (like a Computer or Driving License).
The State Level Recruitment Commission (SLRC), Assam, has a strict two-stage document process for the Assam Direct Recruitment Exam (ADRE). Missing a document or submitting an invalid certificate can lead to the rejection of your application or cancellation of your selection.
This guide provides a clear, step-by-step list of the exact documents you need for both stages.
Documents Required for Online Application
During the online application process, you do not need to send physical documents. Instead, you must upload clear, scanned digital copies of the following documents in the specified formats (usually JPG or PDF) and file sizes (typically 20KB to 50KB, as per the official notification).
- Recent Passport-Size Photograph:
- White or light-colored background.
- Clearly showing your face and shoulders.
- Taken within the last 6 months.
- Scanned Signature:
- Signed with a black or blue pen on white paper.
- Clear and legible.
- Educational Certificates:
- Scanned copies of your Class 10 (HSLC), Class 12 (HSSLC), and/or Graduation mark sheets and certificates.
- Valid Photo Identity Proof:
- Aadhaar Card, Voter ID Card, PAN Card, or Driving License.
- Category Certificates (If Applicable):
- Scanned copy of SC/ST/OBC/MOBC certificate (if claiming age relaxation or reserved category benefits).
- Domicile / Permanent Resident Certificate (PRC):
- Scanned copy proving you are a permanent resident of Assam.
- Special Certificates (If Applicable):
- Scanned copy of PwBD (Persons with Benchmark Disabilities) certificate, Computer Proficiency Certificate, or Driving License (depending on the post you are applying for).
Documents Required After Selection (Document Verification)
If you qualify in the written examination, you will be called for Document Verification. At this stage, you must carry all original documents along with one set of self-attested photocopies. The officials will verify the originals and keep the photocopies for their records.
You must arrange the following documents:
- ADRE Call Letter / Admit Card: The printed copy of your hall ticket and the application form receipt.
- Proof of Age: Original Class 10 (HSLC) Admit Card or a Birth Certificate issued by the competent municipal authority. (Note: Aadhaar Card is generally not accepted as primary age proof).
- Educational Qualification Proof:
- Original Class 10 and Class 12 Mark sheets and Passing Certificates.
- Original Graduation Degree and all semester/year mark sheets (for Grade III posts).
- Domicile / Permanent Resident Certificate (PRC): Original certificate issued by the Circle Officer (CO) or competent authority in Assam.
- Caste Certificate: Original SC/ST/OBC/MOBC certificate issued by the competent authority in Assam. (For MOBC, the certificate must be valid as per the latest Assam government rules).
- PwBD Certificate: Original certificate issued by the authorized Medical Board in Assam (if applicable).
- Post-Specific Certificates:
- Computer Certificate/Diploma (minimum 6 months) for posts like Junior Assistant.
- Valid HMV/LMV Driving License for Driver posts.
- ITI Trade Certificate for specific technical Grade IV posts.
- Experience Certificate: If the specific post requires prior work experience.
- No Objection Certificate (NOC): Mandatory for candidates who are already working in any State or Central Government department, PSU, or Autonomous Body.
- Self-Attested Photocopies: One complete set of all the above documents, signed by you.
Crucial Rules to Avoid Rejection
To ensure your documents are accepted without issues, follow these strict rules:
- Name Matching: Your name must be spelled the same across all documents (Application form, Class 10 certificate, Aadhaar, and Caste/Domicile certificates). If there is a minor spelling mistake, you must provide a valid Gazette Notification or an Affidavit explaining the discrepancy.
- Self-Attestation: Every photocopy submitted during verification must be signed by you with the date and the words “Self-Attested”.
- Certificate Validity: Caste and Domicile certificates must be issued by the competent authorities within Assam. Certificates from other states are not valid for the Assam Direct Recruitment Exam.
- Laminated Documents: Do not submit laminated original certificates, as officials cannot verify their authenticity.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I apply for ADRE if my name is spelled differently on my Aadhaar Card and Class 10 Mark sheet?
It is highly recommended that the names match exactly. If there is a minor difference, you may still apply, but you must carry a valid Gazette Notification or an Affidavit during document verification to prove that both names belong to the same person.
Is an Aadhaar Card enough to prove my Assam domicile?
No. While an Aadhaar Card is a valid photo ID, the SLRC strictly requires a formal Domicile Certificate or Permanent Resident Certificate (PRC) issued by the Circle Officer (CO) of your area in Assam.
What does “self-attested” mean for photocopies?
“Self-attested” means you must sign the photocopy yourself, write the date, and optionally write “True Copy” or “Self-Attested” on it. This confirms that the photocopy is a true replica of the original document.
I have lost my original Class 10 Admit Card. Can I use my Birth Certificate for age proof?
Yes, a Birth Certificate issued by the competent municipal authority (like the Panchayat or Municipal Board) is generally accepted as an alternative proof of date of birth if the Class 10 Admit Card is lost.
