CRPF Tradesman 2026 Physical Date & Admit Card

CRPF Tradesman 2026 physical date is still not announced. Checked again on 12.09.2026, the CRPF notice board still carries nothing newer for this recruitment than the application correction window of 21.05.2026 to 23.05.2026, now four months old. No PET or PST timetable, no city or centre notice, and no admit card link has appeared since.

What follows is read off the 47-page advertisement notice of 08.04.2026, including the full trade-wise vacancy table that most pages summarise into four rows.

Physical date status, checked 12.09.2026

The notification never fixed a PET or PST date. It commits CRPF to publishing the timetable and the city and centre list on its own website, and to opening admit card download at least one week before each stage. Any date circulating elsewhere has no official source behind it.

Note: Checked on 12.09.2026. The newest items on the board, the SI (Hindi Translator) 2025 admit card and CAPF Assistant Commandant LDCE results, belong to other recruitments. The portal returned a 502 error on 05.09.2026 and loaded again on 12.09.2026, with an empty Current Recruitment Openings list. The admit card will confirm the date, so it opens before the stage rather than after it.

Important Links

Note: The recruitment notice runs to 47 pages. Applications ran 20.04.2026 to 19.05.2026. The portal was down with a 502 error on 05.09.2026 and loading again on 12.09.2026, with a Candidate Login only. The helpline works Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 18:00. The PET timetable will appear on the notice board.

Physical kab hoga, running kab hogi, admit card kab aayega

These are the three most searched forms of the same question, and they share one answer. Koi official date abhi tak announce nahi hui hai. All three follow a single announcement, so none of them can arrive before the timetable does.

Note: The race is part of the PET, so there is no separate running date. The CBT is only for candidates who qualify PET and PST. The last PDF issued for this recruitment is the correction window notice of 21.05.2026. Any expected date is a guess. Preparing for the standards below is what a candidate can do now.

PET race, PST standards and who gets relaxation

PET is qualifying only, and it is run after biometric capture. A candidate who fails the race gets a rejection slip on the spot, and the notice records that there is no appeal against the PET race. The race itself depends on the trade, which is the part most summaries leave out.

Note: Group 1 trades: Driver, MMV, Mali, Painter, Carpenter, Brass Band, Pipe Band, Cobbler, Tailor, Bugler. Group 2: Cook, Water Carrier, Barber or Hair Dresser, Washerman, Safai Karamchari. Pioneer means Mason and Electrician. ST chest is 76 cm with 5 cm expansion. The hill and listed groups are Garhwali, Kumaoni, Dogra, Maratha and candidates of Assam, Himachal, J&K and Ladakh, with chest 78 cm and 5 cm expansion. Appeals on height and chest go to the appellate authority at the centre. Carry the relaxation certificate to the PST or the relaxation is refused.

CBT pattern, qualifying marks and what decides selection

Only candidates who clear PET and PST reach the CBT. It is a matriculation level objective paper in English and Hindi.

Note: The four sections are General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Knowledge and Awareness, Elementary Mathematics, and English or Hindi. Selection goes by CBT marks once a candidate clears PET, PST, the trade test, document verification and the medical. Admit cards are colour printouts. The photo ID must be original and show the date of birth printed on the admit card, or a separate original date-of-birth certificate is needed.

A note on cut off marks, because the figures circulating for this recruitment are not real. CRPF publishes no separate minimum qualifying mark beyond the percentages above, and the shortlist is drawn on merit within each trade and category combination. That means the same score can qualify in one trade and fail in another. Any category-wise cut off table for this recruitment claiming numbers out of 100 has no CRPF document behind it, and this page carried such a table until 05.09.2026, when it was removed.

The 9,195 posts, trade by trade

The total splits into two recruitments that follow different rules, and the trade-wise table below adds to the official figure exactly.

Note: 9,096 is the figure the notice prints. The 79 female posts are in 8 trades only: brass band, bugler, hair dresser, mali, pipe band, painter, tailor and water carrier. Pioneer posts are all-India with their own merit list. 9,096 plus 79 plus 20 gives the 9,195 quoted everywhere.

Two things fall out of that table. The Bugler figure is 1,263, not the 1,274 that circulates, and this page carried the wrong number until 05.09.2026. And 79 posts out of 9,195 is 0.86 per cent for women, in roughly half as many trades as men, on a notice whose cover page states that the government strives for a workforce reflecting gender balance.

Who could apply, age, fee and the domicile rule

Note: Age is counted on 01.01.2026. Ex-servicemen get 3 years after deducting service rendered. The trade certificate or experience depends on the trade. The fee is per post applied for, not per candidate. Unfilled ex-servicemen posts go to non ex-servicemen of the same category. Technical and Tradesmen posts are state and UT based: a domicile certificate from a state other than the one on the form cancels the candidature at document verification, with no change allowed. Only the 20 Pioneer posts are all-India.

Last updated: 12.09.2026. Vacancy, physical, CBT, age and fee figures are read off the CRPF advertisement notice of 08.04.2026. The status lines were checked against rect.crpf.gov.in and recruitment.crpf.gov.in on 12.09.2026 and will be corrected here whenever either moves.
