The Gauhati HC ordered the Assam Public Service Commission to declare the final results of the Combined Competitive Examinations, 2018 and fill up vacant posts in the state services. The HC allowed the commission to declare the names of successful candidates against 255 posts. The commission was asked not to fill up six posts.

The results of CCE 2018 were delayed as many candidates approached the high court that they had answered the questions correctly, but failed to clear the prelims as wrong answer keys were given by APSC.
