Written exam structure (for reference)
| Paper | Type | Marks | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper I — General Ability & Intelligence | Objective | 250 | 2 hours |
| Paper II — General Studies, Essay & Comprehension | Descriptive | 200 | 3 hours |
Paper II is evaluated only for candidates who clear the cut-off UPSC sets on Paper I — which is why the written result is a genuine filter and not a formality.
What PST/PET involves
The physical stage is conducted by the Sashastra Seema Bal on UPSC's behalf and is purely qualifying — it adds nothing to your merit but ends your candidature if you fail. It covers height, chest and weight standards, followed by timed running, long jump and shot put events with separate standards for men and women. Dates and venues are announced on recruitment.ssb.gov.in, not on the UPSC site.
How to check your written result
- Open upsc.gov.in and go to the Examination → Written Results section.
- Open the notice for the Central Armed Police Forces (Assistant Commandants) Examination, 2026 dated 25 August 2026.
- The result is a PDF of roll numbers, not a login-based scorecard. Open it and use your PDF reader's search to find your roll number rather than scrolling — the list runs to many pages and skimming causes mistakes.
- If your roll number is present, you are shortlisted for PST/PET, subject to completing the portal update.
The step you must not skip
- Log in to upsconline.nic.in with your registration credentials.
- Complete the details-update requirement described in the result notice, within 15 days of 25 August 2026 — that is on or about 9 September 2026.
- Save or print the confirmation. Candidates who do not complete this are deemed ineligible for the subsequent stages, irrespective of their written performance.
- Read the exact wording and the exact last date on UPSC's own notice. If the notice and this page ever disagree, the notice is right.
Then watch the right website
Your PST/PET call, date and venue come from recruitment.ssb.gov.in. Candidates who watch only upsc.gov.in for the next step routinely miss the intimation, because UPSC hands the physical stage over to the SSB entirely.
Marks and cut-offs
UPSC does not release marks or cut-offs at the written-result stage. Both are published only after the entire selection process concludes, along with the final result.

Written Result Declared on 25 August 2026 — PST/PET Shortlist, and the 15-Day Portal Deadline That Quietly Disqualifies Candidates
The Union Public Service Commission declared the written result of the Central Armed Police Forces (Assistant Commandants) Examination 2026 on 25 August 2026. Candidates who sat the written exam on 19 July 2026 can now check whether their roll number appears in the shortlist for the Physical Standards Test and Physical Efficiency Test. There is a second thing on that result notice that matters just as much as the shortlist itself — a 15-day window to update your details on upsconline.nic.in. Miss it and you are treated as ineligible, whatever your written score.

The deadline most candidates miss
UPSC’s result notice does not end at the roll-number list. Shortlisted candidates are required to complete a details-update step on the upsconline.nic.in portal within 15 days of the result — which places the cut-off around 9 September 2026. Candidates who do not complete it are deemed ineligible for the remaining stages. This is administrative, it takes minutes, and it is not optional. Confirm the exact last date on the official UPSC result notice — that notice, not this page, is the authority.
How many were shortlisted?
UPSC publishes the shortlist as a roll-number PDF and does not headline a total. Figures reported by news outlets have ranged from roughly 1,300 to over 1,800, and they do not agree with each other. Do not go by a reported count — search for your own roll number in the official PDF. That is the only check that means anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. UPSC declared it on 25 August 2026 for the written examination held on 19 July 2026. It is published as a roll-number PDF on upsc.gov.in under Written Results.
No. The result notice also requires shortlisted candidates to update their details on upsconline.nic.in within 15 days of the result, which puts the deadline around 9 September 2026. Candidates who skip it are treated as ineligible for the remaining stages regardless of their written marks.
UPSC does not publish a headline figure with the PDF, and reported counts have ranged from about 1,300 to over 1,800 depending on the outlet. Ignore the reported numbers and search for your own roll number in the official PDF — that is the only check that matters.
On the Sashastra Seema Bal recruitment website, recruitment.ssb.gov.in. UPSC hands the physical stage to the SSB, so the intimation does not appear on upsc.gov.in. Watching only the UPSC site is the most common reason candidates miss the call.
No. The physical stage is entirely qualifying. Your final merit comes from your written marks plus the interview. But failing PST or PET ends your candidature, so a qualifying stage is not a soft stage.
No. UPSC releases marks and category-wise cut-offs only after the complete selection process is over, alongside the final result. Nothing is available at this stage.
There is no re-evaluation or appeal against the written result. Paper II is assessed only for candidates who clear the Paper I cut-off, so a candidate can appear for both papers and still not have Paper II evaluated. Your next opportunity is the CAPF AC 2027 cycle.
