UPSC has released the result of the Central Armed Police Forces (Assistant Commandants) 2026 written examination on its websites, upsc.gov.in and upsconline.nic.in. The exam was held on July 19, 2026. Candidates who have qualified will now proceed to the Physical Standards Test (PST) and Physical Efficiency Test (PET).

The PST and PET will be conducted by the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), designated by the Ministry of Home Affairs as the nodal agency. Shortlisted candidates must complete an online updation process on the SSB recruitment portal within 15 days, or they will be barred from the next stage. The selection list with roll numbers of qualified candidates is available in a PDF on the UPSC website.
The official notice advises candidates to keep original certificates for age, education, community, and EWS claims ready, as these will be verified at the personality test stage. Candidature of shortlisted applicants remains provisional until then.
The UPSC CAPF AC written exam, held annually for around 200 vacancies across five forces (BSF, CRPF, ITBP, SSB, Assam Rifles), sees over one lakh applicants each year. The PST/PET stage, now conducted by SSB as the nodal agency, is where most candidates are screened out on physical standards and endurance. Under the UPSC rules, the provisional candidature means all certificates are verified only at the personality test stage, so any discrepancy in community or EWS claims can lead to disqualification years later. Candidates have 15 days from the result to complete the online updation process on the SSB portal or forfeit their chance. The personality test and final merit list typically follow within six to eight months.
