RPF Constable Selection Process

RPF Constable selection runs through the following stages, each of which must be cleared in sequence.

1. Computer Based Test (CBT)
2. Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Measurement Test (PMT)
3. Document Verification (DV)
4. Medical Examination

RPF Constable is recruited into the Railway Protection Force and Railway Protection Special Force, a security role rather than a technical or clerical one. Selection combines a Computer Based Test with physical standards, and shortlisting for PET/PMT is done on normalised marks scaled to 100.

Document Verification

Original certificates are checked against the details declared in the application — qualification, category, age and any fee concession claimed. Certificates must be in the prescribed Annexure formats, and a certificate issued after the application closing date is not accepted.

Medical Examination

RPF posts carry physical standard requirements for height, chest and weight alongside the medical category, and these differ for male and female candidates.

Empanelment

Candidates who clear every stage are placed on a panel published by their RRB, from which appointments are made against the notified vacancies.
