Year-over-Year Comparison: CAPF (AC) 2024 vs. 2025

A comparative analysis with the previous year's examination (2024) reveals notable shifts in the recruitment landscape, which aspirants should consider for future attempts.

The total number of vacancies witnessed a significant decrease of nearly 30% from 506 in 2024 to 357 in 2025. This reduction was primarily driven by substantial cuts in vacancies for BSF (-87.1%), ITBP (-93.1%), and SSB (-21.4%). Conversely, CRPF saw a notable increase of 70% in its vacancies, offering more opportunities within that force. The notification and application window for 2025 opened considerably earlier than in 2024, while the written exam date remained largely consistent. Other critical aspects like age limits, educational qualifications, application fees, and the negative marking scheme remained unchanged, providing stability in core eligibility and exam structure.
