Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

The Office of the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests and Head of Forest Force (PCCF & HoFF), Assam, headquartered at Aranya Bhawan, Panjabari, Guwahati, is the apex state forestry administration authority. Contractual Computer Assistants and GIS Analysts work directly within the state forest IT and Geoinformatics/Planning divisions. Work entails processing spatial forestry datasets, analyzing satellite imagery for forest canopy monitoring, boundary demarcation, compensatory afforestation tracking (CAMPA), and supporting Externally Aided Projects (EAPs like World Bank/JICA/AFD projects) under tight administrative deadlines.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

The positions are purely contractual and temporary for an initial tenure of 11 months. Extensions are granted annually based on individual performance evaluations, project requirements, and budgetary approval. The circular explicitly clarifies that contractual engagement does not confer any entitlement, right, or claim for permanent absorption or regularization in the Assam Forest Department cadre.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

Because these are contractual domain specialist roles, there is no formal cadre hierarchy or internal promotion ladder. However, acquiring high-impact experience in state-level forest geoinformatics and working on Externally Aided Projects (EAPs) positions specialists strongly for senior consulting roles in international development agencies (World Bank, UNDP, JICA), national environmental institutes (FSI, WII), or technical consultant vacancies across state forest wings.
Crucial Application Warnings & Eligibility Traps

Avoid common application rejection triggers, photo/signature guidelines, and certificate validity windows.

  • Mandatory 5 Years' Work Experience: Both posts strictly require a minimum of 5 years of verified domain experience (in the forestry sector for Computer Assistant, or with spatial software like ArcGIS/QGIS/ERDAS for GIS Analyst). Incomplete experience certificates or insufficient tenure will lead to immediate rejection.
  • Strict Email Subject Line: The email containing the application must strictly bear the subject line: 'APPLICATION FOR THE POST OF ..................'. Failure to include the specific post title may cause the application to be filtered out.
  • Three Professional References Required: The prescribed application format includes a mandatory section for three (3) professional referees (name, designation, email address, phone number) who can attest to the applicant's profile and skills.
  • No TA/DA for Interview: Candidates called for the interview in Guwahati must make their own travel and accommodation arrangements, as no travelling allowance or other reimbursement is provided.
