Eligibility Criteria
Educational Qualification
- Candidates must have passed Class 10 or Matriculation from a recognized board or institution.
- The required qualification must have been obtained by the eligibility cut-off date specified in the detailed recruitment notification.
- Candidates who had not passed the qualifying examination by the prescribed date were not eligible to apply.
Age Limit
- The standard age requirement is 18 to 23 years, calculated on the cut-off date mentioned in the notification.
- SC and ST candidates are eligible for an upper-age relaxation of five years.
- OBC candidates receive a relaxation of three years in the upper-age limit.
- Ex-servicemen and other eligible categories receive relaxation in accordance with Central Government rules.
- Date-of-birth details recorded in the Matriculation certificate are used for age verification.
Fees
- The application fee was Rs. 100 for candidates required to pay the examination charge.

Selection Process
- Computer-Based Examination: Candidates first appeared for an objective online test covering General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Knowledge and General Awareness, Elementary Mathematics, and English or Hindi. The result PDF contains the roll numbers of candidates shortlisted on the basis of normalized marks and applicable bonus marks.
- PET and PST: The 1,97,408 shortlisted candidates must undergo the Physical Efficiency Test and Physical Standard Test. These stages assess running performance and prescribed physical measurements, including height and chest standards where applicable. PET/PST is qualifying in nature.
- Medical Examination and Document Verification: Candidates who clear the physical stages will be called for a Detailed Medical Examination, Review Medical Examination where applicable, and verification of original educational, category, domicile and identity documents. Final allocation will depend on merit, vacancies, force preference and eligibility.
The cut-off marks may differ by category, gender, state or Union Territory, border or Naxal-affected area classification, and available vacancies. Candidates should therefore consult the relevant cut-off tables attached to the official result write-up rather than relying only on an overall score.
