CRPF Constable Tradesman Online Form 2026

CRPF Constable Tradesman Online Form 2026 — a recruitment notification — is summarised below. The key figures are an application window closing 19 May 2026 and a fee of ₹100 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Police recruitment combines a written examination with physical measurement and efficiency tests. The physical standards are eliminative and differ by gender, category and sometimes by region, so confirm which set applies to you before committing preparation time.

Applications open on 20 April 2026 and close on 19 May 2026, giving candidates 30 days to complete the process. The 30-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. The exam is currently shown for As per Schedule; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The age limit runs from 21 to 27 years for unreserved candidates. That is a 6-year band, so candidates near either edge should confirm the exact cut-off date the notification measures age against — it is usually a fixed reference date, not the date you apply. On qualifications, the notification states: 01 — Class 10th Matric Exam Passed in Any Recognized Board in India. Working Knowledge of Related Trade. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

SC / ST and All Category Female are exempt from the application fee under this notification. All fee-paying categories are charged the same ₹100. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and offline bank challan. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

This recruitment carries physical standards (height 170 CMS — 162.5 CMS — 157 CMS — 150 CMS and chest 80-85 CMS — 76-81 CMS — NA). Physical tests are usually qualifying rather than scored, but they are eliminative — candidates who clear the written stage and then fail PET/PST are removed from the process entirely. Measure yourself against these figures before you invest preparation time, and check whether relaxed standards apply to your category or region in the official notification.

Read the eligibility conditions in full before paying any fee. The most common reason applications are rejected is a qualification or age criterion that was missed at the form stage, and that cannot usually be corrected after the window closes.
