When CRPF Announces Recruitment
CRPF advertises technical and tradesman constable posts every few years in large rounds. Contract medical officer interviews come up through the year.
What CRPF Applicants Often Miss
- CRPF is deployed for internal security across the country, including insurgency-affected areas, and postings move between them.
- The combined Head Constable (Ministerial) and ASI (Steno) recruitment for all the forces is run by one force each cycle, so the notice may not come from CRPF itself.
- Contract medical officer posts are for a fixed term and pay a fixed amount, unlike regular medical officers selected through UPSC.
Preparing for CRPF Recruitment
Police recruitment has a written exam and demanding physical tests. Start running practice months before the physical test and build up gradually to avoid injury. For the written exam, focus on general knowledge, reasoning, arithmetic and the language paper.
Eligibility for CRPF Jobs

Pay and Benefits at CRPF
