Most Rifleman trades need Class 10 along with an Industrial Training Institute (ITI) certificate.
Class 10 is the matriculation level. Candidates must be between 18 and 23 years old.
Cipher posts need Class 12 with a two-year ITI in Radio and Television or Electronics.
A bachelor's degree in Electronics or Information Technology also works. The age limit for Cipher is 18 to 25 years.
Age is counted as on July 1, 2026. Ten percent of the vacancies are kept for ex-servicemen.
The rest are split across general, OBC, SC, ST and EWS categories.
How will candidates be selected?
The first stage is a Physical Standard and Efficiency Test, called PET, along with a document check.
The test is a five-kilometre run that must be finished in 24 minutes.
Candidates from Ladakh run 1.6 kilometres in seven minutes.
After that comes a 100-mark computer based test.
Candidates who clear it move to a trade skill test and document verification.
The last stage is a detailed medical examination or review.
The physical rally is tentatively planned from January 18, 2027, at Jorhat or Diphu, Assam.
