The Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) is a government body of the state of Assam, India, for recruitment of candidates for various government jobs under the Government of Assam, including government departments, organizations, state public sector undertakings, and autonomous bodies. It is headquartered at Jawahar Nagar, Khanapara in Guwahati and functions through its own secretariat. It was established on 1 April 1937.[3]

The primary mandate of the Assam Public Service Commission is to conduct competitive examinations, interviews, and assessments to select candidates for various government jobs within the state. These positions range from administrative and police services to finance, education, and other key sectors, each contributing to the governance and development of Assam.[4] As of February 2021, Shri Bharat Bhushan Dev Choudhury is its current Chairman.

A former chairperson of the Assam Public Service Commission and 29 agricultural development officers appointed during his stint were convicted by a special court in a 2014 cash-for-job scam, that was under investigation for eight years.[5]
