Assam VFA Written Exam Pattern 2026

The Assam VFA written examination will contain 100 questions for 100 marks. Biology carries 40 marks, while Chemistry, Physics and General Awareness carry 20 marks each.

Subject	Marks
Biology	40
Chemistry	20
Physics	20
General Awareness	20
Total	100

The complete examination will be conducted within 120 minutes (2 hours). There is currently no separate time limit prescribed for individual subjects. Candidates should also practise marking answers on an OMR sheet within the allotted time.

What Is the Standard of the Assam VFA Examination?

The prescribed standard of the VFA examination is HSSLC (Science), or Class 12 level. Candidates should therefore give particular attention to relevant Class 11 and 12 Science concepts. Class 9 and 10 Science can be used for strengthening basic concepts where necessary.

The one-year training in Elementary Knowledge of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science is a separate requirement after selection. It should not be confused with the written examination syllabus, which currently lists Biology, Chemistry, Physics and General Awareness.

Important Note: The official notification does not provide a chapter-wise syllabus. The following subject-wise topics are therefore a study guidance outline, prepared from the examination subjects and standard. It should not be treated as an official or exhaustive chapter list, and no chapter-wise marks are officially specified.

How to Prepare for Assam VFA Exam 2026?

Step 1: Cover Class 11–12 Science

Start with your Class 11 and 12 Science textbooks and identify weak areas. Use Class 9 and 10 Science only when you need to strengthen a basic concept required for higher-secondary topics.

Step 2: Make Subject-Wise Revision Notes

Maintain separate revision notes for each subject. Biology notes can focus on structures and functions, Chemistry on formulas and reactions, Physics on formulas and units, and General Awareness on dated facts and important information.

Step 3: Practise Full-Length Mock Tests

Try to solve a complete 100-question paper within 120 minutes. While practising, also include the time required to fill an OMR sheet. Analyse your mistakes and identify whether they occurred because of weak concepts, calculations, misreading or answer-sheet errors.

Step 4: Follow Official Updates

Candidates should check the official examination information before the examination. In particular, confirm the final negative-marking rule, question-paper language and examination schedule, as these details are not specified in the supplied information.
