📰 What This Recruitment Means: Key Highlights

  • This is one of the largest recruitment drives by SSC for CAPFs / associated forces in 2025–26, offering a golden opportunity to many 10th‑pass youth across India.
  • Because the minimum qualification is modest (10th pass), this opens doors for candidates from rural or underprivileged backgrounds who may not have higher education.
  • With vacancies across multiple forces — BSF, CISF, CRPF, ITBP, SSB, assam Rifles, SSF — candidates have a variety of options depending on interest and flexibility.
  • Timely application is crucial — with registration window open now, last date is 31 December 2025. Missing deadline will mean losing the opportunity.
