We cannot line CISF Constable/Tradesman up against other exams yet
This does not mean CISF Constable/Tradesman shares nothing with the exams you are preparing for — only that we have not loaded a chapter-by-chapter syllabus we can compare against, so we will not guess. We compare 0 exams whose official syllabus we have traced to the conducting body, and this one is not among them yet.

Planning reference — verify the current detailed notice
CISF CONSTABLE POSTS ARE A FAMILY, NOT ONE EXAM, AND THEY ARE FILLED BY DIFFERENT BODIES. CISF's own recruitment table shows Constable posts in General Duty, Fire, Driver, DCPO, Nursing Assistant and Ward Boy/Girl/Ayah streams alongside Constable/Tradesmen, plus Head Constable, ASI, Sub Inspector and Assistant Commandant grades - with the conducting agency differing by post: 'Central Industrial Security Force (C.I.S.F.)' for Constable/Tradesmen, 'Staff Selection Commission (S.S.C.)' for Constable/General Duty and Sub Inspector/Exe, and UPSC for Assistant Commandant/Exe. Applying through the wrong body is a wasted cycle. Within Constable/Tradesman itself, each TRADE has its own qualification row and its own trade skill test, and CISF's table notes that Constable/Tradesmen vacancies are allotted 'On Regional/ Sector basis as per population ratio' - so the vacancy you can actually compete for depends on your state or region. Match the exact trade row AND the exact regional row in the current advertisement. Finally, the physical, PET and medical details in this record are incomplete because cisfrectt.cisf.gov.in was unreachable during this research pass - read the notification itself before you train for a race timing or assume you meet a standard.

Nationality
Not stated in StudyBddy's verified extract of CISF's recruitment table. Confirm the nationality clause from the Constable/Tradesman advertisement itself.
Physical standards
VERIFIED from CISF's own recruitment table for Constable/Tradesmen: Height (male) '170 Cms'; Chest (male) '80 to 85 Cms' (i.e. 80 cm unexpanded to 85 cm expanded). The table records no weight requirement for any CISF post. NOT VERIFIED and therefore not published here: the female height standard for Tradesman, the category and region relaxations (ST, hill-area and North-Eastern candidates), the Physical Efficiency Test (race distance and timing), the trade skill test, and the detailed medical standards - all of these are in the Constable/Tradesman advertisement on cisfrectt.cisf.gov.in, which was unreachable. DO NOT substitute the SSC Constable (GD) standards: those (male 5 km in 24 minutes, female 1.6 km in 8.5 minutes, male height 170 cm, female height 157 cm, chest 80 cm unexpanded with 5 cm minimum expansion, medical fitness per the MHA 'Uniform Guidelines for recruitment Medical Examination for GOs and NGOs in CAPFs and AR' dated 20.05.2015 as amended) are published in the SSC Constable (GD) 2026 notice for GENERAL DUTY posts, which expressly exclude Constable Tradesman.

|---|---|---|---|
| Constable/Tradesman - Central Industrial Security Force. CISF's official recruitment table annotates the post 'On Regional/ Sector basis as per population ratio', i.e. vacancies are distributed regionally rather than as a single all-India pool. | Constable rank in the Central Industrial Security Force, a Central Armed Police Force under the Ministry of Home Affairs. The exact service classification (Group and Ministerial/Non-Ministerial description) is printed in the advertisement, which StudyBddy could not retrieve. | NOT published here. The pay level for CISF Constable/Tradesman is stated in CISF's own advertisement, which was unreachable from StudyBddy's research environment on 30 July 2026. FOR CONTRAST ONLY, AND NOT AS A SUBSTITUTE: the SSC Constable (GD) 2026 notice states 'Pay Level - 3 (Rs.21,700/- to Rs. 69,100/-) for all the posts', but that notice covers General Duty constables in the CAPFs and expressly excludes Constable Tradesman. Do not assume the two carry the same level - read the Tradesman notification. | Central Industrial Security Force - security cover for industrial undertakings, atomic energy and space installations, airports, seaports, the Delhi Metro, government buildings and heritage monuments across India, with all-India transfer liability. |

How to applyPending verification
- 1Confirm the route before anything else. Constable/Tradesman is recruited by CISF itself ('Central Industrial Security Force (C.I.S.F.)' in CISF's own conducting-agency column); Constable/General Duty is recruited through the Staff Selection Commission. Applying through the wrong body wastes a full cycle.
- 2Watch https://cisfrectt.cisf.gov.in/ and the CISF notice board at https://cisf.gov.in/ for the Constable/Tradesman notification. As of 30 July 2026 StudyBddy could not reach the portal, so no open window is confirmed here.
- 3When the notification appears, find your TRADE row - each trade has its own qualification requirement and its own trade skill test - and then find your REGION, because CISF allots Constable/Tradesmen vacancies 'On Regional/ Sector basis as per population ratio'.
- 4Check the basics against the notification, not against this page: Matriculation, age 18 to 23 years on the notification's own 'as on' date, and the physical standards for your category (CISF's summary table gives male height 170 cms and male chest 80 to 85 cms).
- 5Register and apply online on the CISF recruitment portal within the window and pay the prescribed fee.
- 6Prepare for the physical stages named in the notification - Physical Standard Test and Physical Efficiency Test - using the race distance and timing printed in that notification, NOT the SSC Constable (GD) timings.
- 7Prepare for the trade skill test in your trade; for tradesman posts this is a decisive stage, not a formality.
- 8Clear the written/computer-based examination, document verification and the detailed medical examination as sequenced in the notification.
- 9Keep every original document, category certificate and trade certificate ready - failure at document verification is a common elimination point in CAPF recruitment.
FAQsPending verification
Is CISF Constable/Tradesman filled through SSC GD?
No. This is the most common and most costly confusion. CISF's own recruitment table names the conducting agency for 'Constable/Tradesmen' as 'Central Industrial Security Force (C.I.S.F.)', while 'Constable/General Duty' is shown against 'Staff Selection Commission (S.S.C.)'. The SSC notice for the 'Constable (GD) in Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and SSF, and Rifleman (GD) in Assam Rifles Examination, 2026' covers General Duty posts only and does not include Constable Tradesman, and the MHA 'Scheme for Common Recruitment of Constables in Central Police Forces' likewise applies to Constable (GD). Apply for Tradesman through CISF's own recruitment portal.
What are the basic eligibility and physical standards for CISF Constable/Tradesman?
From CISF's official recruitment table: education 'Matriculation'; age 'Between 18 to 23 years'; height (male) '170 Cms'; chest (male) '80 to 85 Cms'. CISF's table records no weight standard for any post. The female height standard, the category and region relaxations, the race distance and timing in the Physical Efficiency Test, the trade skill test and the detailed medical standards are in the Constable/Tradesman notification itself, which StudyBddy could not retrieve - read it before you assume you qualify.
Do the SSC GD race timings (5 km in 24 minutes) apply to Tradesman?
Not verified, and StudyBddy does not publish them for Tradesman. The 5 km in 24 minutes (male) and 1.6 km in 8.5 minutes (female) timings, the 157 cm female height and the 80 cm chest with 5 cm minimum expansion come from the SSC Constable (GD) 2026 notice, which covers General Duty posts and expressly excludes Constable Tradesman. CISF sets and publishes the Tradesman PET in its own notification.
What does a CISF Constable/Tradesman get paid?
StudyBddy does not publish a figure, because CISF's Constable/Tradesman advertisement could not be retrieved. For contrast only: the SSC Constable (GD) 2026 notice states 'Pay Level - 3 (Rs.21,700/- to Rs. 69,100/-) for all the posts' - but that is the General Duty notice, not the Tradesman one. Read the pay clause in the Tradesman notification.
Are Tradesman vacancies all-India?
No. CISF's recruitment table annotates the post 'On Regional/ Sector basis as per population ratio', so vacancies are distributed regionally and your effective competition depends on your region or sector - check the region-wise vacancy table in the notification.
Why does this record leave sections blank?
Because the official document could not be read. CISF publishes Constable/Tradesman notifications on cisfrectt.cisf.gov.in, which did not respond to StudyBddy's research environment across repeated attempts on 30 July 2026. StudyBddy publishes only what it verified from an official source - the exam pattern, syllabus, PET, trade test, medical standards, pay level and dates are therefore marked pending rather than filled in from a coaching site.
Final eligibility and dates are always subject to the latest official notification. Content marked “Pending verification” is not presented as verified advice.
