Most Rifleman trades — Electrical Fitter Signal (32), Lineman Field (21), Engineer Equipment Mechanic (10), Electrician Motor Vehicle (22), Vehicle Mechanic (23), Metalsmith (19), Upholster (3), Welder (2) — need 10th plus a 2-year ITI or a relevant diploma. Armourer (29) needs 10th + ITI in Welding. Recovery Vehicle Mechanic (13) also needs a valid HMV/Transport licence. Havildar (Instrument Mechanic, 6) needs 10th + 2-year ITI or diploma in Instrument/Electronic Mechanic. Store Keeper Technical (16) needs 10th pass, Draughtsman (2) needs 12th + Architectural Assistantship diploma, and Mason (29) needs 10th, a trade test and 1 year of trade experience. The medical posts, OT Technician (1) and Physiotherapist (2), need 12th plus a 2-year diploma and experience.
Age is counted as on 1 July 2026 and varies by post: the minimum is between 18 and 21 years, and the maximum between 23 and 25 years. So the overall window is 18 to 25, but your particular trade may have a narrower range. Check the post-wise table in the official notification, and note that extra relaxation applies under Assam Rifles rules.
