About UPSC CAPF AC Recruitment 2026
UPSC CAPF stands for the Central Armed Police Forces (Assistant Commandants) Examination — a national-level exam conducted annually to appoint Group A Gazetted Officers into India’s elite paramilitary forces: Border Security Force (BSF), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), and Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB). The 2026 notification was released on 20 February 2026, with online applications accepted from 20 February to 12 March 2026 for 349 Assistant Commandant vacancies. The admit card is the single most critical document in this process — without it, and a valid photo ID, entry to the exam hall is strictly denied, regardless of how well-prepared a candidate is.
