If you’ve been waiting for the next step in the Gauhati High Court Recruitment 2026, the wait is officially over. The High Court has cleared the path for the upcoming recruitment drive, shifting gears from the application phase to the examination phase.
Whether you are eyeing one of the 26 Multi-Tasking Staff
(MTS) positions or one of the 2 competitive Computer Assistant roles, now is
the time to finalize your preparation and secure your hall ticket.
Crucial Exam Dates & Schedule
The High Court has set a tight schedule for this recruitment
cycle. Mark these dates on your calendar to ensure you don’t miss out:
Admit Card Release Date: April 20, 2026
Written Examination Date: April 26, 2026 (Sunday)
Exam Location: Guwahati, Assam
The exams are OMR-based, meaning you'll be marking your
answers on physical sheets. Make sure you have your stationery ready alongside
your printed admit card.
A Closer Look at the Selection Process
The High Court uses a multi-stage approach to ensure they
find the right fit for the Principal Seat. The requirements differ
significantly between the two roles:
1. For Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS)
The MTS selection is a two-step journey: a Written Exam followed
by a Viva-Voce.
The Written Test: This is a 70-mark, 90-minute paper. It
covers the basics: General Knowledge, Current Affairs, English, and Class VIII
level Mathematics.
The Language Barrier: There is a specific 20-mark segment
for Assamese Language Proficiency.
Note: You must score at least 8 out of 20 (40%) to qualify.
While these marks don't count toward your final merit rank, failing this
section means your entire paper won't be considered.
2. For Computer Assistant
This role requires a more technical evaluation across three
stages: Written Exam, Skill Test, and Viva-Voce.
The Written Test: A comprehensive 120-mark paper lasting 2
hours.
Marking Scheme: Be careful! There is a negative marking of
0.25 for every wrong answer. High accuracy is better than high volume.
Subject Weightage:
Technical Knowledge: 50 Marks
English: 20 Marks
General Knowledge: 20 Marks
Aptitude & Reasoning: 10 Marks
Assamese Proficiency: 20 Marks (Qualifying only; 8 marks
minimum required).

Final Words for Aspirants
Guwahati will be busy on exam Sunday, so plan your travel to
the center well in advance. Remember, for the Computer Assistant role, the
negative marking can be a deal-breaker—only attempt questions you are confident
about. For MTS candidates, don't ignore the Assamese section; it's the
gatekeeper to your final selection.
Best of luck to all the candidates appearing on April 26th!
