UPSC CAPF AC 2026 Admit Card – Download Hall Ticket — live updates

CAPF AC 2026 admit card status

No hard copy comes by post — the e-admit card is the only one you get. With the exam just over a week away, download and print your copy now rather than waiting until the last few days when the portal tends to get slow under heavy traffic.

How to download the CAPF AC admit card 2026

1. Go to upsconline.nic.in or the official UPSC website at upsconline.nic.in.
2. Look for the “e-Admit Card” link under the Examinations section, or open the “Active Examinations” list.
3. Select “Central Armed Police Forces (Assistant Commandants) Examination, 2026” from the list of active e-admit cards.
4. Log in using your Registration ID or Roll Number, along with your date of birth.
5. Your CAPF AC hall ticket opens as a PDF. Save a digital copy before you print it.
6. Print a clear colour copy on A4 paper. A faded or black-and-white printout has caused problems for candidates at the centre before, so don’t risk it.

What to check on your CAPF AC hall ticket

Don’t just glance at it and move on. Check your photograph and signature against what you originally uploaded, and confirm the exam centre, address, date, and reporting time. If anything is off — wrong centre, mismatched photo, spelling error in your name — contact UPSC through the details printed on the admit card well before exam day, not the morning of the test.

What to carry on exam day

• Printed copy of the CAPF AC 2026 admit card (carry more than one copy if the notice asks for it)
• A valid original photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, voter ID, driving licence, or passport)
• A passport-size photograph matching the one on your application, in case it’s asked for at the centre
• Basic stationery permitted at the centre (check the admit card’s own instructions, since rules can vary by exam)

Get to your centre well ahead of the reporting time. UPSC exam centres are strict about entry cut-offs, CAPF AC is no exception, and turning up even a few minutes late can cost you the whole attempt.

CAPF AC 2026 exam pattern on 19 July

Both papers run the same day, offline, pen-and-paper mode:

Paper I covers general science, current affairs, Indian polity, economy, history and geography. Paper II tests essay writing, précis and analytical writing in English or Hindi. Candidates who clear both papers move to the physical and medical stages, and finally a Personality Test worth 150 marks before the merit list is drawn.

Selection process after the written exam

Clearing the written paper isn’t the finish line. Next comes the Physical Standards Test (PST) and Physical Efficiency Test (PET), a fairly thorough medical exam, and the Personality Test (interview). The PST/PET standards for a force like CAPF aren’t easy — height, chest, running timing all matter — so it’s worth starting that side of the preparation now rather than waiting on the written result.
