Key trends observed
- Strong regional bias: Roughly a quarter of the paper is Assam-centric — covering Ahom-era history (Varman, Chutia dynasties), geography (rivers, plateaus, districts), culture (festivals, tribes, costumes), and current affairs (new districts, national parks) specific to Assam.
- Domain-specific weight on Labour subject: Since this is a “Labour” (LWD = Labour Welfare Department) recruitment test, there’s a dedicated cluster (Q53–60, 84–92) on labour legislation — Minimum Wages Act, Payment of Bonus Act, Trade Union rights, Industrial Disputes Act, ILO — testing direct domain knowledge beyond general GS.
- Computer awareness is a fixed, sizeable chunk (13%): Basic IT literacy (memory units, OS, protocols, number systems) is heavily tested — common in many state-level government exams as a baseline skill check.
- Low weight on pure reasoning/aptitude (only 5 questions): Unlike competitive exams like SSC/Banking, quantitative/logical reasoning is a minor component here — this test leans toward factual recall over analytical ability.
- Recency-focused questions: Several items test very recent developments (2021–2022) — Tamulpur as 35th district, Project BOLD (2021), newly notified national parks (Raimona, Dehing Patkai), Padma Shree Uddhab Bharali — indicating the exam rewards staying current with news in the 1–2 years preceding the test.
- Constitution questions cluster around Fundamental Rights/labour-relevant articles (Art 19, 23, 24 – trade union & forced labour), reinforcing the labour-department framing rather than testing polity broadly.
