Assam government has introduced a new policy for junior grade ACS officers to gain field experience in revenue administration matters by being posted as Circle Officers for a maximum of two years during their tenure of six years as ACS Junior Grade.

Secondly, service placement of ACS Junior Grade Officer at Revenue Department will be as per: a) seniority of the officers in the merit list; b) date on which the officer attains proficiency in Officers Class Course Training at Survey & Settlement Training Centre; c) requisition from the Revenue & DM Department, based on the actual number of vacancies in Circle Officer posts.

Thirdly, on completion of two years or otherwise decided by the government, the services of the officers will be reverted from the Revenue & Disaster Management Department, and a new group of officers will be placed at the disposal of the Revenue & Disaster Management Department.

And finally, subject to administrative exigencies, a member of the ACS Junior Grade Officer will be deputed to undergo the Officers Class Course Training at the Assam Survey & Settlement Training Centre as per their seniority in the merit list and within the probation period of two years.
