“The SLPRB was given responsibility by different departments to conduct recruitment for 5,730 posts. A total of 5,421 candidates were found suitable for these posts,” he said as the results were declared online.

The posts were of four categories – constable-related posts in APRO and F&ES, graduate-level, HS and HSLC level and grade IV.

Singh said the appointment letters for selected candidates will be available for download online in a few days and they will be joining duty from June one.

“Some of the selected candidates will be handed their appointment letters ceremonially at a programme here by the Union Home Minister,” he added.

He said that about 300 posts for which the Board had conducted the drive could not be filled up due to a lack of deserving candidates.

On 309 posts remaining vacant for which the recruitment drive was undertaken, he said candidates failed to meet physical standards in most of these cases.

“I urge the aspiring candidates to focus on physical fitness also so that they can qualify in all parameters,” the top cop added.

Results of recruitment drives conducted by different departments are being announced in the last few days as the Himanta Biswa Sarma-led government is closing in on touching one lakh government job figures ahead of its second-anniversary celebration on May 11.
