The recruitment exam for the Railway Protection Force (RPF) in India is conducted by the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB). The exam is known as the RPF Constable and Sub Inspector (SI) Exam.
The RPF recruitment process usually consists of various stages, including:-
1. Computer Based Test (CBT): The CBT includes multiple-choice questions covering topics such as general awareness, arithmetic, general intelligence and reasoning, and general English/ Hindi. Candidates need to qualify in the CBT to proceed to the next stage.
2. Physical Efficiency Test (PET): Candidates who qualify in the CBT are called for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET), which includes tasks like running, long jump, and high jump. The PET is qualifying in nature, and candidates must meet the prescribed physical standards to move forward in the selection process.
3. Document Verification (DV): After clearing the PET, candidates are called for document verification, during which they need to present their original documents for verification.
4. Medical Examination: Candidates who clear all the previous stages are subjected to a medical examination to ensure they meet the required medical standards.
The specific details of the RPF recruitment process, including exam dates, eligibility criteria, and application procedures, are provided in the official recruitment notifications issued by the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) or Railway Recruitment Cell (RRC) periodically. Candidates interested in applying for RPF positions should regularly check the official websites of RRB or RRC for updates and notifications regarding recruitment.
