Force-wise vacancies 2026

CISF carries by far the biggest share this year, with more than half of all posts. SSB and SSF have no posts for women in this cycle. The numbers are tentative and the Commission can change them; the State/UT-wise breakdown is published separately on the SSC website.

Apart from the overall split, posts in the CAPFs are distributed among States and UTs, and your domicile (or PRC) for the State/UT you choose in the form is what places you in that pool. A mismatch between the chosen State/UT and the certificate produced later leads to cancellation.
