ITBP Constable (GD) Sports Quota Recruitment 2026: 126 Posts, PDF 361

Overview

The Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force has opened online applications for 126 posts of Constable (General Duty) under the sports quota. The detailed advertisement is PDF 361 on recruitment.itbpolice.nic.in. The heading on that PDF is Sports Quota-2025. The apply window is 00:01 am on 3 October 2026 to 11:59 pm on 1 November 2026.

Apply only on recruitment.itbpolice.nic.in. The post is Group C, non-gazetted, non-ministerial, temporary and likely to be made permanent, under the ITBPF Act, 1992 and the Rules, 1994. You can be posted in India or abroad. Pay is Level-3, Rs 21,700 to 69,100.

The advertisement says these vacancies are not open for physically challenged candidates or ex-servicemen.

Posts

72 for men and 54 for women, total 126, spread across 28 sports printed in the PDF (athletics through kayaking, rowing, mountain-bike cycling, karate and the rest of that table). Do not assume a sport is open unless your event is in that table.

The sports window that most repeat-sites skip

Only participation or medals from 1 January 2024 to 1 November 2026 count. That is the period printed against Para-4(C).

International events need clearance of the Department of Sports, Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. National events are Senior or Junior National Championships of a federation recognised by that Department, or National Games of the Indian Olympic Association, and you need a medal or a position up to third. Inter-University events are those of the Association of Indian Universities, the Inter University Sports Board, or Khelo India University Games with Department of Sports authorisation, again with a medal or a position up to third in the finals. Khelo India Youth Games count only in the age category above 18, or Khelo India Winter Games, medal or position up to third in the finals.

Certificates must already exist on the recruitment date. You cannot apply on a promise that the certificate will arrive later.

Marks: one medal, and a floor of 10

Marks are taken from the table in the detailed advertisement. Only one highest medal or participation level is used. Two golds do not add. Two medals in the same meet count as the higher one.

The minimum qualifying mark is 10 for UR, SC, ST and OBC. A Khelo India Youth Games bronze is 10, which is exactly the floor. A Khelo India participation certificate is not eligible. A Senior National participation certificate is not eligible. An Olympic participation is 75.

Height, chest and the rest of the board

After documentation (biometrics, originals), you go to the Physical Standard Test. The sports trial that follows is qualifying. It does not add marks. Detailed medical examination is last. There is no TA or DA. Stay more than one day at your own cost.

Height (cm)

Chest is measured for men: 80 cm unexpanded with 5 cm expansion in the general row. Relaxed chest: Scheduled Tribes 76/5, Garhwali / Kumaoni / Dogra / Maratha and Assam / Himachal / J&K / Ladakh 78/5, North-Eastern States and GTA 77/5. Weight must be proportionate to height and age as per the medical annexure.

Age is 18 to 23, with relaxation as per the recruitment rules. Date of birth is taken only from matriculation or higher secondary. Education is matriculation or equivalent. UR, OBC and EWS men pay Rs 100 on the ITBP site. Women, SC and ST pay nothing.

EWS certificates must be valid for 2025-2026. OBC (NCL) Annexure-III(A) must be obtained within three years before 1 November 2026. Government servants who reach documentation without Annexure-II NOC are rejected there.

How the table is used on the board, and how PST and the trial sit around it, is on the syllabus page. A practice set on the scoring traps is on the practice page.
