What Happens After CBE — Full Selection Process

CBE is just Stage 1. Candidates who clear it are called for physical testing. Only the top 10 times the vacancies per category are shortlisted for PET/PST from CBE merit.

1. CBE (Stage 1) — current exam. Merit-based shortlisting for PET/PST
2. Physical Efficiency Test (PET): Running — Male: 5 km in 24 minutes | Female: 1.6 km in 8.5 minutes. Pass/fail only.
3. Physical Measurement Test (PMT): Height — Male General/OBC/EWS/SC: 170 cm | Male ST: 162.5 cm | Female General/OBC/EWS/SC: 157 cm | Female ST: 150 cm. Chest (male only) — unexpanded 80 cm, expanded 85 cm (5 cm expansion).

Force-wise Vacancy Breakup

All 25,487 vacancies are distributed across forces. Major allocations include BSF (~6,500+), CRPF (~7,000+), and CISF (~4,000+). The exact force allocation for each selected candidate depends on merit rank, preference, and medical standards specific to each force (BSF/ITBP require higher fitness for border duties).

Exam Day — Complete Checklist

Reach the centre at least 30 minutes before the reporting time. Biometric verification (fingerprint scan) is mandatory — it links your application to the exam attempt. Carry: printed Admit Card + original Photo ID. No mobile phones, smart watches, Bluetooth devices inside the exam hall. The CBE is computer-based — you type answers by clicking options. A scratch pad is provided for rough work. Be careful with negative marking — wrong answers cost 0.50 marks each, which adds up across 80 questions.

Common Preparation Tips for the Remaining Days

• GK: Focus on last 6 months current affairs — monthly current affairs capsules work well. Static GK (Indian History, Geography basics, Constitutional facts) should already be done.
• Maths: Percentage, Ratio, Time-Speed-Distance, and Simple Interest cover ~60% of the Maths questions. Do 20–30 practice questions per topic.
• Reasoning: Series completion and coding-decoding are the most predictable. Practice SSC GD previous year papers from 2021–2023 for pattern familiarity.
• English/Hindi: If attempting English, focus on Fill in the blanks and Synonyms/Antonyms — they are the quickest marks. If Hindi, revise Muhavare and Sandhi — they carry consistent weightage.
