AAU ATMA Recruitment 2026 for West Bengal Candidates
The notification asks only for Indian citizenship and does not mention an Assam domicile condition. Agriculture graduates from West Bengal, for example from BCKV or UBKV, could therefore apply for the Open category posts. The reservation is under the Assam SC / ST / OBC lists, so reserved-category candidates from Bengal should check whether their certificate will be accepted.
The posts are under the Assam Agriculture Department, and candidates can be posted to any block in Assam. The exam centres are only in Assam, and the nearest one for North Bengal candidates is Bongaigaon. With 257 posts, the ATM post is the biggest opportunity for agri and allied graduates with one year of field experience.
