Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBPF) has released the ITBP Constable (General Duty) Sportsperson Recruitment 2025 — 126 Posts (Sports Quota) notification for 126 vacancies with a last date of 1 Nov 2026. The pay scale is Rs.21700 - Rs.69100. Joining the police force means a stable, respected government career with uniform and kit allowances, departmental quarters, and promotion opportunities tied to seniority and performance.
Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBPF) is the recruiting body, and is responsible for conducting the entire selection process — from releasing the official notification to publishing the final merit list. This role is suitable for candidates who have passed 10th / Matriculation from a recognised board and are looking to start a government career early.
Selection for ITBP Constable (General Duty) Sportsperson Recruitment 2025 — 126 Posts (Sports Quota) follows 7 stages as given in the notification: (1) Online Application & upload of sports certificate/document; (2) Documentation (verification of original certificates); (3) Physical Standard Test (PST); (4) Sports Trial Test (qualifying — minimum 20 of 40 marks); the remaining steps are listed in the Selection Process section on this page. Candidates should go through the official notification carefully, especially the category-wise vacancy breakdown, double-check their eligibility, and have scanned documents ready in advance. Submitting well ahead of the 1 Nov 2026 deadline is recommended, as official portals tend to get overloaded near the closing date. This page is a convenient summary from NaukriKhoj.in — the official notification remains the final authority in case of any mismatch.
| Age Limit | 18 to 23 years (as on 01/11/2026); category-wise relaxation applies |
| Education | Matriculation (10th) or equivalent from a recognized board, combined with a genuine sports achievement — medal or participation at International/National/Inter-University/Khelo India level between 01/01/2024 and 01/11/2026 |
| Nationality | Indian citizens, including subjects of Nepal & Bhutan |
| Other | This recruitment is NOT open to PwD candidates or Ex-servicemen — an unusual restriction for a CAPF post, so don't assume the usual Ex-servicemen quota applies here. Selected candidates must also serve a minimum of 10 years; resigning earlier means refunding three months' pay/allowances or the cost of training, whichever is higher. |
| Physical Fitness | Male: height 170 cm, chest 80 cm (minimum 5 cm expansion); Female: height 157 cm — relaxation available for Scheduled Tribes and candidates from specified hill/northeastern regions. Weight must be proportionate to height & age per the prescribed chart. Eyesight 6/6 & 6/9 (uncorrected); colour blindness, knock knee, flat foot, varicose veins or squint disqualify a candidate. |
