Assam CM Fellow Recruitment 2026 Overview

Assam CM Fellow Recruitment 2026 Important Dates

In short, the Assam CM Fellow apply online last date is 14 November 2026. Only two days remain after today to apply. Government portals slow down near deadlines, so candidates should finish the form by 12 November rather than on the last night.

Assam CM Fellow Vacancy 2026 Details

The CMAAA Society has announced 256 Chief Minister’s Fellow posts in a single post category. Fellows are placed across Assam and work with the office of the Chief Executive Officer of the CMAAA Society, District Industries and Commerce Centres, District Commissioners and other line departments.

What a Fellow actually does. Fellows mentor CMAAA beneficiaries as they turn ideas into viable enterprises, and help with enterprise development. They work with universities and research stations on one side and with NABARD, NEDFi and banks, progressive farmers, successful local entrepreneurs and start-ups on the other. This is field work with a desk attached — Fellows spend most weeks out in the districts, working with beneficiaries and local officials face to face.

Assam CM Fellow Eligibility Criteria 2026

The 60 percent rule is the real filter. The advertisement asks for an MBA, an MBA equivalent qualification, or a Master’s degree in Social Sciences, Public Policy or Development Studies, from a reputed university or institution. Candidates need at least 60 percent marks or an equivalent CGPA in that postgraduate degree. The 60 percent applies to the postgraduate degree only — it does not apply separately to school or graduation marks. Where the university awarded a CGPA, the equivalent percentage comes from the awarding institution’s own conversion formula.

Preference. Candidates from IIMs, IITs, IRMA, TISS and NIRD get preference. Professionals from multinational companies or international organisations who want a break in the social sector may also apply, as long as they meet the same qualification bar.

Language and computer skills. The advertisement requires proficiency in the local languages of Assam, along with English and Hindi, plus working knowledge of computer applications. Fellows also need a passion for public service and programme management.

Age limit. The advertisement sets no age limit for the fellowship. There is no minimum or maximum age in the notice.

Assam CM Fellow Application Fee 2026

There is no application fee for the Chief Minister’s Fellow posts. The advertisement lists no fee of any kind.

How to Apply for Assam CM Fellow Recruitment 2026

1. Visit the official CMAAA website at cmaaa.assam.gov.in and open the Chief Minister’s Fellow advertisement.

3. Register on the Niyukti portal with your name, active mobile number and email ID.
4. Fill the online application with your personal details and postgraduate qualification, and keep your PG marksheet and degree certificate ready — the Society checks the 60 percent rule on the postgraduate degree, so keep the CGPA conversion formula handy if your university awarded a CGPA.
5. Upload the required documents as asked on the portal.
6. Submit the application before 14 November 2026 at 11:59 PM, and keep a copy of the submitted application with the acknowledgement — it is the only proof that you applied.

Apply early. The window closes at 11:59 PM on 14 November 2026. Do not wait for the last night, because government portals slow down near deadlines.

Assam CM Fellow Selection Process 2026

Stage 1 – Shortlisting. Applications are screened against the qualification bar — the postgraduate degree with at least 60 percent marks — and the language and computer requirements.

Stage 2 – Group discussion and interview. Shortlisted candidates are called for a group discussion and interview.

Stage 3 – Orientation and joining. Selected candidates go through an initial orientation programme, followed by exposure visits and on-the-job training in the field, before taking up their assignments in December 2026.

Performance review. The Society evaluates each Fellow’s performance every six months against mutually agreed Key Performance Indicators, and whether the fellowship continues into the second year depends on those evaluations. The second-year remuneration of Rs. 6,60,000 is real, but it is not automatic.

Assam CM Fellow Salary 2026

The fellowship pays Rs. 6,00,000 per year in the first year, including Rs. 96,000 towards travelling expenses, and Rs. 6,60,000 per year in the second year, including Rs. 1,08,000 towards travelling expenses. The travel component sits inside the headline figure, not on top of it, so the money a Fellow actually takes home each month is the headline minus that travel share. This is a fixed-term fellowship remuneration, not a government pay scale, and the notification publishes no separate “in-hand” figure. On successful completion of the 24-month fellowship, Fellows receive a CMAAA CM Fellow citation and certificate signed personally by the Chief Minister of Assam.
