The Syllabus Released for this application is 25 May 2026. We strongly recommend completing the application at least 2-3 days before the deadline — the official portal usually sees heavy load on the last day, and payment-gateway timeouts in the final hours can cause submissions to fail.

  2. 2 Navigate to the 'What's New' or 'Examinations' section and locate the CAPF (AC) 2026 notification.

  4. 4 Fill in your personal, educational, and other required details accurately in the online application form.
  5. 5 Upload scanned copies of your photograph and signature as per the specified dimensions.
  6. 6 Pay the applicable application fee through the online payment gateway.
  7. 7 Review all entries, submit the form, and save the confirmation page for your records.

Selection process

The selection process is conducted in 4 stages: Stage I – Written Examination (Paper I: Objective 250 marks + Paper II: Descriptive 200 marks), Stage II – Physical Standards Verification, Physical Efficiency Test (PET) & Detailed Medical Examination, Stage III – Interview / Personality Test (150 marks) and Final Merit List (Written 450 marks + Interview 150 marks = 600 marks total). Candidates must clear each stage to be eligible for the next, and the final merit list is prepared on the combined performance across all stages. Detailed marking schemes, qualifying cut-offs, and any tie-breaker rules are listed in the official notification linked above.
