Today is 20 October 2026, so the link is not active yet. It will go live in about two days.

The CBT will be held on 2 November 2026 in two shifts. Radio Operator candidates will write the paper in the morning (9 AM to 11 AM), and Radio Mechanic candidates in the afternoon (1 PM to 3 PM).

Selection Process of BSF HC RO RM 2026

CBT Exam Pattern — What We Know

Preparation Guide for the CBT (General Guidance)

Since the minimum qualification is 12th with PCM or an ITI in a related trade, the paper is expected to be at that level. These areas are good for revision. They are our study guidance, not an official syllabus:

• Physics and Mathematics basics: Class 11–12 level concepts, units, formulas, simple numericals
• Electronics and communication basics (especially for Radio Mechanic): components, circuits, signals, radio waves, antennas
• Trade and ITI basics: tools, measuring instruments and safety
• English and Hindi: grammar, vocabulary, comprehension
• Reasoning and general awareness: series, coding, analogy, current affairs, defence and BSF basics
• Speed and accuracy in an online test, because there is negative marking

13-Day Study Plan Till the Exam (20 Oct – 2 Nov)

Smart Strategy for the Online Test

• Read the on-screen instructions fully before you begin
• Attempt the questions you know first, and mark the doubtful ones for review if the system allows
• Because wrong answers lose 1/8 mark (as reported), avoid wild guesses but do try when you can remove two options
• Keep a watch on the timer. 2 hours is enough only if you do not waste time on one question
• Remain calm if the screen hangs. Raise your hand and tell the exam staff
• Practise on online mocks to get used to the mouse and screen

Dictation and Paragraph Reading Test (For Radio Operator Only)

As reported, Head Constable (Radio Operator) candidates also face a dictation test and a paragraph reading test after the CBT. The exact rules, speed and passing standard are in the official notice. Until then, you can practise in a simple way:

• Listen to news in clear English or Hindi and write it down line by line to improve listening and speed
• Read English and Hindi paragraphs aloud daily. Focus on clear speech and correct pronunciation
• Write neatly and use correct spelling, because mistakes can cost marks
• Ask a friend to dictate a paragraph and check it for errors
