Education
Matriculation (Class 10) by the cut-off specified for the Constable (GD) examination.
Age
The recurring general band is commonly 18–23 years, but the current notice and category rules control eligibility.
Nationality
Use the nationality/citizenship clause and required eligibility certificate in the current notice.
Post-specific condition
Physical and medical standards are eligibility conditions. Check category/region concessions before planning an application.
Documents
Names, dates, category, qualification and photo identity must be supported in the format and by the cut-off prescribed.
How to verify your own eligibility
- Open the latest official notice for the correct year.
- Find your post or post group before applying a general rule.
- Compare your result date and subjects with the qualification cut-off.
- Calculate age on the notice’s reckoning date—not on today’s date.
- Check category, physical, medical, skill, licence or experience conditions.
- Keep the original certificates and matching details ready for document verification.
Eligibility is not the same for every post
Constable (GD) and Rifleman/other uniformed posts in the forces and organisations named in the notice. A candidate can be eligible for one post but not another within the same examination. Post preference must therefore follow eligibility, job requirements and document readiness.

Eligibility FAQs
Can final-year candidates apply?
Only when the notice permits it and the candidate possesses the required qualification by the stated cut-off date.
Does registration confirm eligibility?
No. OTR or a submitted form does not replace post-wise eligibility verification.
Which document date matters?
The notice states the qualification and age cut-offs. Read those clauses together with certificate-format instructions.
