Defence & Paramilitary (Defence) Jobs 2026
Defence and paramilitary recruitment covers the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force, plus the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) — BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITBP and SSB. Entry routes include officer exams like NDA, CDS and AFCAT, soldier/sailor/airmen recruitment (including the Agniveer scheme under Agnipath), and constable/sub-inspector posts in the CAPFs.
There is a path for many qualification levels — 10th/12th pass for soldier and Agniveer entries, and graduation for officer exams like CDS and AFCAT. Selection combines a written test, a physical fitness and medical examination, and (for officers) the SSB interview. This page lists all live defence and paramilitary notifications, results and admit cards from official sources.
