KAAC VFA Recruitment 2026 Eligibility
The eligibility conditions are particularly important because this recruitment is restricted to candidates who have already undergone the prescribed VFA training.
Educational Qualification
Candidates must fulfil both of the following conditions:
- Must have passed the HSSLC (Science) Examination with Biology as a subject from a recognised Board or Council.
- Must have successfully completed the prescribed One Year Training Course in Elementary Knowledge of Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science from the recognised School of Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry, Ghungoor, Silchar.
In addition, the recruitment is specifically intended for candidates who were previously selected by the Central Selection Board, KAAC for undergoing the prescribed One Year VFA Training Course.
Therefore, simply possessing HSSLC Science with Biology does not make a candidate eligible for these 49 posts. The required VFA training and prior selection conditions must also be fulfilled.
Age Limit
The recruitment advertisement does not prescribe a separate numerical minimum or maximum age limit.
Instead, the age of candidates will be governed by the applicable provisions of the Assam Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Subordinate Service Rules, 2002, along with the Government orders and instructions in force.
Age will be determined on the basis of the candidate’s HSLC Certificate, HSLC Admit Card or certificate issued by a recognised Board/Council.
Candidates should therefore check the applicable service rules rather than assuming a fixed age range from other recruitment notices.
KAAC VFA Salary 2026
Selected candidates for the Veterinary Field Assistant post will receive the prescribed pay scale under the applicable service rules.
| Particular | Details |
|---|---|
| Pay Band | PB-2 |
| Pay Scale | ₹14,000 – ₹70,000 |
| Grade Pay | ₹6,200 |
| Other Benefits | Allowances as admissible under applicable rules |
The recruitment is for a regular cadre post subject to the availability of sanctioned vacancies and fulfilment of the applicable service conditions.
KAAC VFA Application Fee
Candidates have to pay the prescribed application fee through a KAAC Money Receipt.
| Category | Application Fee |
|---|---|
| SC/ST Candidates | ₹10 |
| Other Candidates | ₹20 |
The notification specifies that Bank Draft, Money Order, cash or cheque will not be accepted towards payment of the application fee.
Candidates must also enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope measuring 23 cm × 11 cm for communication. Recent versions of the recruitment notice reproduced online specify a ₹5 postal stamp on this envelope.
KAAC VFA Selection Process
The selection process for the Veterinary Field Assistant posts will be based on merit and Viva-Voce.
Since the candidates covered by this recruitment have already been selected for and successfully completed the prescribed One Year VFA Training Course, no fresh written examination will be conducted.
Marks Distribution
The merit assessment will carry a total of 100 marks.
| Assessment | Maximum Marks |
|---|---|
| HSSLC (Science) Examination | 20 |
| One Year VFA Training Course | 40 |
| Viva-Voce | 40 |
| Total | 100 |
For the academic components, the prescribed percentage of marks obtained in the HSSLC examination and VFA training course will be converted into the respective marks allotted for the merit assessment. The Viva-Voce will carry 40 marks.
The Viva-Voce may assess candidates’ basic knowledge of Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science, practical understanding gained during training, general awareness and suitability for the post.
In case of a tie in the final score, the candidate with higher marks in the VFA Training Course will receive higher placement in the merit list. If the tie continues, higher Viva-Voce marks will be considered.
