About the Indian Air Force
The Indian Air Force (IAF) is one of the three professional wings of the Indian Armed Forces, responsible for the country’s aerial warfare and air defence. Alongside its operational branches, the IAF also recruits civilian staff — called Group ‘C’ civilian posts — for administrative and clerical work at its stations across India. This LDC vacancy is one such civilian post at Air Force Station, Tezpur, functioning under Headquarters Eastern Air Command. A posting here gives a candidate a central government job with the pay structure and service conditions that apply to Group ‘C’ civilian staff in the defence establishment.
Air Force Station, Tezpur — location and connectivity
Air Force Station, Tezpur is located in Sonitpur district, Assam, and is one of the older and better-known IAF stations in the North East. Tezpur town is connected by road to other towns in Assam, and also has its own airport and a railway station nearby, which makes travel to the area straightforward. Assamese and Hindi are both widely used locally, alongside English — relevant here since the written test question paper is set in English and Hindi. This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm current travel and connectivity details independently.

Eligibility
- Educational qualification: 12th Class pass from a recognised Board.
- Typing speed: 35 wpm in English or 30 wpm in Hindi on computer (these speeds correspond to 10500 KDPH / 9000 KDPH respectively, at an average of 5 key depressions per word). Time allowed for the typing test: 10 minutes.
- Age limit: 18–25 years. The crucial date for determining age is the last date of receipt of application.
- Age relaxation: Ex-servicemen who have rendered not less than 6 months of continuous service in the Armed Forces can deduct the full period of that service from their actual age; if the resulting age does not exceed the maximum by more than 3 years, they are deemed within the age limit. SC/ST/OBC candidates applying against this Unreserved post are not entitled to any age or experience relaxation. Age relaxation for all other eligible candidates follows prevailing government instructions.
Selection process
Selection has two stages after document screening — a written test that carries full weightage, and a qualifying skill test.
- Application scrutiny — every application is checked against age limit, minimum qualification, and supporting documents/certificates before a candidate is called for the written test.
- Written test — based on the minimum educational qualification, covering General Intelligence, English Language, Numerical Aptitude, and General Awareness. The question-cum-answer paper is set in both English and Hindi. The written test carries 100% weightage in the final marking.
- Skill (typing) test — qualifying only, at the speeds listed under Eligibility above.
- Document verification — shortlisted candidates must bring original certificates and annexure copies attached with the application.
No TA/DA is paid to attend the written test, and the notification states the test centre may be different from the place to which the application was sent — this is done purely for administrative convenience. Selected candidates will be subject to “All India Service Liability.”

Application fee details are not mentioned in the official notification. Check the official website for updates.

Should you apply?
This post suits 12th-pass candidates, especially those in or near Assam and the North East, who already have or can build the required typing speed and want a stable central government job. Since only 1 vacancy is advertised, competition for it is likely to be high — this is added context, not part of the official notification. Candidates should also weigh the All India Service Liability condition: while the current vacancy is at Tezpur, a selected candidate can be posted anywhere in India after selection, so this is not guaranteed to stay a local posting. The application process is entirely postal, with no online tracking, so candidates should send documents well before the deadline and keep proof of posting. The notification also allows the recruiting station to change the vacancy count or reservation status at any time before selection, so candidates should not treat the current numbers as final until selection is complete.
