The Ministry of Home Affairs has issued a crucial notification amending the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Sub-Inspector (General Duty) Recruitment Rules, 2025. This amendment, effective from October 30, 2025, introduces significant changes to qualification requirements, recruitment methodology, and training protocols. Here's what you need to know if you're aspiring to join the CRPF.

What Has Changed?

The amendment modifies four key areas of the recruitment schedule:

1. Selection Criteria (Column 5)

The previous "Not applicable" status has been replaced with "Selection", meaning all candidates must go through a selection process. There's no automatic entry provision anymore.

2. Educational and Desired Qualifications (Column 7)

Essential Qualification: You must possess a Bachelor's degree (graduation) from a recognized university. For ex-Army personnel, equivalent military qualifications are acceptable. Additionally, all candidates must meet physical and medical standards as prescribed by the Central Government from time to time.

Desirable Qualifications: While not mandatory, these qualifications can strengthen your candidacy:

• National Cadet Corps (NCC) 'B' Certificate, OR
• National Cadet Corps (NCC) 'C' Certificate, OR
• Outstanding Sports or Athletics Certificate

Important Notes:

• The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) can relax qualifications for otherwise well-qualified candidates (reasons to be recorded in writing)

3. Probation Period (Column 9)

The probation period has been set at Two Years. All direct recruits must successfully complete mandatory induction training of at least two weeks as prescribed by the Central Government to successfully complete probation.
