CISF AC LDCE Admit Card 2026: e-Admit Card, PET Call, 2027 Date

There is no CISF AC (Exe) LDCE admit card to download at the moment: the 2026 cycle ended with the final result on 3 September 2026, and the 2027 examination has not yet been notified. UPSC's 2027 examination calendar lists the notification for 25 November 2026, the last date to apply as 15 December 2026 and the one-day written examination on 14 March 2027. The 2027 notice will fix when and where the e-Admit Card is issued.

How was the CISF AC LDCE 2026 e-Admit Card issued?

The CISF AC (Exe) LDCE 2026 notice said eligible candidates would get an e-Admit Card one week before the examination, to be downloaded from upsconline.nic.in, and that no admit card would be sent by post. Rule 11 of the Ministry of Home Affairs Rules adds that no paper e-Admit Card is issued and that a candidate is not admitted to the examination without a downloaded e-Admit Card.

Getting the card does not mean you are cleared. Applications are scrutinised for eligibility by the Central Industrial Security Force, and the notice states that the mere issue of an e-admission certificate does not imply that candidature has been finally accepted. In 2026 candidates had to route a hard copy of the online form through proper channel to the Director General, CISF, 13, CGO Complex, Lodi Road, New Delhi, for verification and onward transmission to UPSC on or before 9 January 2026.

What the admit card means on exam day

• The 2026 examination was held at New Delhi only.
• In 2026, Paper I, General Ability and Intelligence and Professional Skill, was an objective paper of 150 questions in 2 hours 30 minutes.
