AAU CSS-ATMA 2026 OMR Written Examination — 310 Posts, 5 Distinct Syllabi

Advertisement 05/2026 | Issued 10 November 2026 | Agricultural Extension, Directorate of Agriculture, Assam

The selection process is a written examination on OMR answer sheets, followed by verification of original records. All five designations have a common overall test format, while their syllabus emphases differ. The test is not described as a CBT or an interview-based recruitment. The university has not announced the date of the written examination, and the notification supplies no subject-wise allocation of the 100 questions.

Official examination pattern

Exam locations

AAU names Guwahati, Tezpur, Jorhat, Silchar and Bongaigaon as potential zonal OMR centres. Final allotment and the possibility of a changed centre depend on the application volume and the university's later directions. Applicants should not assume that selecting a preferred district means the exam or eventual employment will be in that district.

Five officially notified syllabus groupings

Deputy Project Director. Quantitative Aptitude, General Intelligence and Reasoning, General English, General Knowledge, Current Affairs, Computer Knowledge, Agriculture Extension, broad Agriculture, and ATMA and other Agriculture Department schemes. The project-oriented topics are especially relevant to the advertised district-level agricultural management role; the notice does not allocate specific marks or percentage weights to them.

Accountant-cum-Clerk. Quantitative Aptitude, General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Knowledge, Current Affairs, Computer Knowledge, General English, Accountancy and practical computer knowledge. The dedicated accountancy component distinguishes this post from the agricultural field-management roles. A mandatory separate computer skill test has not been announced.

Computer Programmer. Quantitative Aptitude, General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Knowledge, Current Affairs, Computer Application, and Computer Science including Software and Hardware. The advertisement does not impose an additional coding practical or specific programming-language syllabus. Eligibility remains B.Tech with one year of experience or MCA with two years of experience.

Block Technology Manager. Quantitative Aptitude, General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Awareness and Current Affairs, General English, Computer Knowledge and General Agriculture. Agriculture is the substantive field component, but the exact number of questions from it is not stated. This paper is for a role with two different experience-sensitive education routes.

Assistant Technology Manager. Quantitative Aptitude, General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Awareness and Current Affairs, General English, Computer Knowledge and General Agriculture. The list is similar to that for BTM; nevertheless the eligibility standard differs and an applicant may choose only one position.

🥧 Official distribution of 310 vacancies across the five posts

🥧 Official vertical reservation across all 310 positions

The 310 seats comprise 257 ATM, 33 BTM and 20 district-level posts. The reservation chart displays vertical vacancy categories only: Open 114, OBC/MOBC 108, SC 31, ST(P) 34 and ST(H) 23. The 30% women and 4% PwD provisions are horizontal and must not be added to that total.

Marks, final merit, and tie-break rules

The written examination determines selection merit. The notification does not assign additional marks to an interview, or describe a separate skill, physical or language test. If two candidates earn the same written score, higher marks in the requisite academic qualification decide their order; if those marks also tie, the senior-in-age candidate is preferred. Applicants whose documents are inconsistent with the application can be rejected at original-document verification.

Exam-day and later document requirements

Use black or blue ball-point pen for OMR responses. Do not bring a calculator or mobile telephone into the examination hall. Do not use white correction fluid or an eraser on OMR marks. Download the admit card from https://online.aau.ac.in/atma-2026/ once issued. The university states that individual call letters will not be sent separately. No TA/DA is paid for appearing in the written test. Candidates should keep original evidence of identity/age, qualifications, reserved category and post-qualification experience ready for verification, following instructions on the official admit card.

Successful candidates will sign the notified contractual agreement with the Agriculture Department, requiring ₹20 non-judicial stamp paper at signing. The notice says that postings may be anywhere in Assam and does not guarantee a particular home district or block.

Important publication dates

The advertisement was issued on 10 November 2026; online registration starts 12 November at 4:00 PM and closes 11 December at 4:00 PM. The written examination date, specific examination centres, and admit-card issue date will be provided separately. Do not treat unannounced events as scheduled.
