UPSC Releases Notification for CAPF Assistant Commandants Examination 2025
It’s an exciting opportunity for people who dream of serving in India’s top paramilitary forces like BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITBP, and SSB. Let’s break down everything you need to know about this exam in simple terms!
Key Dates and How to Apply for CAPF 2025
The last date to submit your application is March 25, 2025. You can only apply online through the official UPSC website: https://www.upsc.gov.in. There’s no offline option, so make sure you have a good internet connection and a device ready!
To get started, you’ll need to complete the One Time Registration (OTR) on the UPSC Online portal at https://upsconline.gov.in. This is a one-time step, and once you’ve done it, your OTR stays valid forever. If you’ve already registered before, you can skip this part and jump straight to filling out the CAPF 2025 application form.
Who Can Apply? Eligibility and Verification Details
Before applying, double-check that you meet all the eligibility rules listed in the notification. When you apply, your admission is temporary. The real confirmation happens later when UPSC checks your documents during the Interview/Personality Test. Just getting an e-Admit Card doesn’t mean you’re selected—it’s only a pass to take the exam. Final selection depends on passing the verification process fully.
Can You Edit Your OTR Profile?
Good news! UPSC lets you update your OTR profile, but only once in your lifetime. You can make changes within 7 days after the application window closes for your first UPSC exam. Here’s what you can edit:
- Name change history (if your name has legally changed)
- Gender
- Minority status
- Class 10th Board Examination Roll Number
But some details are locked and can’t be changed, like:
- Your name (as written in your Class 10th certificate)
- Date of birth
- Father’s name
- Mother’s name
- Registered mobile number
So, make sure these details are correct when you register for the first time!
