Exam Schedule and Session Timings
The APSC CCE Preliminary Examination will be held on 05/07/2026 (Sunday) across 35 district headquarters in Assam. The exam consists of two papers conducted in two sessions on the same day.
| Paper | Subject | Session | Timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper I | General Studies | Morning | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM |
| Paper II | General Studies (CSAT) | Afternoon | 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM |
Report to your examination centre well before the reporting time shown on your admit card. Late arrival is not permitted, and candidates arriving after the reporting time will be barred from entering the examination hall.
APSC CCE Prelims Exam Pattern
The APSC CCE Preliminary Examination consists of two objective-type papers, each worth 200 marks, with a duration of 2 hours per paper. Negative marking of 0.25 marks applies for each incorrect answer in both papers. Unattempted questions carry zero penalty.
For the Prelims merit ranking, only General Studies Paper I marks are considered. Paper II (CSAT) is qualifying in nature, with a minimum 33% pass threshold required; the marks from Paper II do not count toward the Prelims merit list. Candidates who fail to achieve the 33% threshold in Paper II are not eligible to proceed to the Mains stage, even if their Paper I score is high.
Selection Process – Three Stages
APSC CCE 2026 follows a three-stage selection process:
Stage 1 – Preliminary Examination: Two objective-type papers testing General Studies knowledge. Only Paper I marks are used for merit ranking.
Stage 2 – Mains Examination: A descriptive examination comprising six papers totalling 1,500 marks, including essay writing and multiple General Studies papers.
Stage 3 – Interview (Personality Test): The final APSC cut-off list is determined by combining Mains Exam and Interview scores. The interview carries 180 marks, which contribute to the final merit ranking.
Posts Offered Through APSC CCE 2026
The APSC CCE examination leads to recruitment in various cadres of the Assam Civil Service (ACS), Assam Police Service (APS), Assam Finance Service (AFS), Assam Labour Service (ALS), Assam Taxation Service (ATS), and allied administrative services.

Documents to Carry on Exam Day
To gain entry to the examination hall on 05/07/2026, carry the following documents:
- Printed copy of APSC CCE Admit Card 2026 (bring at least one printed copy)
- Valid government-issued photo ID – such as Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Voter ID Card, Passport, or Driving Licence

Admit Card Error – What to Do
If you notice an error or discrepancy in your admit card (such as a spelling mistake in your name, wrong date of birth, incorrect category, or mismatched photograph), contact APSC immediately through the official helpline email or phone number. Do not assume the error will be corrected on exam day – it will not be. Most examination boards allow error corrections within a specific window after the admit card is released. The APSC typically corrects errors reported in writing before exam day, but you must report the issue promptly. Contact the APSC Examination Cell or official support email as soon as possible rather than waiting until the day before or day of the exam.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What is the APSC CCE Prelims Admit Card 2026, and why is it important?
Ans. The APSC CCE Prelims Admit Card 2026 is your e-Admission Certificate that confirms your eligibility and provides all details required for exam entry on 05/07/2026. It contains your roll number, exam centre location, reporting time, and other critical information. Without a valid printed admit card and a government-issued photo ID, you will not be permitted to enter the examination hall.
Q2. I cannot find my name in the candidate list released on 08/06/2026. What should I do?
Ans. If your name does not appear on the official candidate list, you are not eligible to download the admit card or appear in the examination. Contact the APSC directly through the official helpline or email to clarify your application status. Do not attempt to download an admit card if your name is not in the published list.
Q3. What credentials do I need to download my APSC CCE admit card?
Ans. You need your Application ID (or Roll Number) and your Date of Birth in DD/MM/YYYY format to download your APSC CCE Prelims Admit Card 2026. Enter these details in the fields provided on the official admit card portal at apscrecruitment.in.
Q4. I have forgotten my Application ID. How can I download my admit card?
Ans. If you have lost your Application ID, use your Roll Number instead – it serves the same purpose for admit card download. Your Roll Number was published in the candidate list released on 08/06/2026. If you cannot locate either, contact the APSC support team through the official email or helpline before the query window closes.
Q5. There is a spelling error in my name on the admit card. Can I get it corrected before the exam?
Ans. Yes, you can request a correction. Contact the APSC Examination Cell immediately via the official helpline email or phone number with proof of your correct name (government-issued ID). The board typically corrects such errors within a few days if reported promptly. Do not wait – report the error as soon as you discover it, not on exam day.
Q6. What is the difference between the reporting time and the exam start time?
Ans. The reporting time is when you must arrive at your examination centre to complete the entry process, including identity verification and biometric checks. The exam start time is when the question papers will be distributed, and the examination officially begins. Reporting time is always earlier than the exam start time. You must arrive by the reporting time; arriving after it will result in denial of entry, regardless of when the exam is scheduled to start.
Q7. What happens if I lose my printed admit card after downloading it?
Ans. You can download and print a fresh copy from the official portal using the same credentials (Application ID/Roll Number and Date of Birth). The admit card remains available for download until the examination concludes. Print at least two copies immediately after downloading to avoid last-minute portal congestion. Keep one copy with you and store another in a safe place.
Q8. Is the APSC CCE Admit Card 2026 available in the Assamese language or only in English?
Ans. The admit card is issued in English. All examination-related documents and the question papers for the APSC CCE examination are in English. Ensure you are comfortable with English before appearing in the exam, as this is the only language provided.
What to Do Next
Download and print your APSC CCE Prelims Admit Card 2026 immediately – do not wait until the final days before the exam, as the official portal experiences heavy traffic close to the examination date and may become slow or temporarily unavailable. On 05/07/2026, arrive at your examination centre before the reporting time with your printed admit card and a valid government-issued photo ID such as Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, or Passport; entry without both documents will be denied.
