BSF HCM and ASI Steno Admit Card 2026: 1752 Posts

Border Security Force has opened the Computer Based Test admit card for the combined Head Constable (Ministerial) and Assistant Sub-Inspector (Stenographer) recruitment on the official application portal rectt.bsf.gov.in, with organisation information also on bsf.gov.in. Cards were reported around 19 August 2026. Login is typically the BSF roll number and date of birth in DDMMYYYY as the first password, unless the live form asks for a later password you set after registration. The CBT window is described as starting from 1 September 2026; some public reports mentioned 2–3 September for particular cities. You must follow the date, shift and venue on YOUR card. Separate reports said some centres (examples discussed: Kanpur and Jaipur) may be rescheduled. Confirm any shift change only on rectt.bsf.gov.in — not on a forwarded image. This cycle is the widely notified 2024 CAPF ministerial / steno drive: apply ran 9 June to 8 July 2024. Combined vacancies commonly cited are about 1752 (ASI Steno about 256, HC Ministerial about 1496) — treat them as the 2024 notification snapshot and re-open the vacancy PDF on the BSF recruit site. Age in that notice is 18–25 years as on 1 August 2024. Education is 10+2; ASI posts add a stenography skill test after CBT.

BSF HC Ministerial & ASI Steno CBT Admit Card Out @rectt.bsf.gov.in

The hall ticket is for the written / CBT stage of a CAPF ministerial recruitment hosted by BSF. Print it only from rectt.bsf.gov.in. Check name, post applied (HCM or ASI Steno), category, photograph, exam city, lab address, reporting time and the exact calendar date. If your friends in another city sit on 2 September while your PDF says 1 September, both can be correct. If a city-level postponement notice appears, BSF will put it on the recruit portal; a social-media list that names Kanpur or Jaipur is not enough to skip or attend a paper. Keep the same roll number for later skill, physical and medical stages. BSF does not send a paper card by post for this CBT.

Vacancy / posts (2024 notification snapshot)

Public copies of the 2024 advertisement commonly total about 1752 posts across participating CAPFs as listed in that PDF, with ASI Stenographer near 256 and Head Constable Ministerial near 1496. Force-wise rows (BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITBP, SSB and any other column in that file) must be read from the official PDF on rectt.bsf.gov.in or bsf.gov.in. This article does not add a new year-wise vacancy or a new fee table. If a later corrigendum changed a force column, the PDF wins.

How to download

1. Open https://rectt.bsf.gov.in/. You may cross-check news links on bsf.gov.in, but the login is on the recruit portal.

2. Select the HC Ministerial / ASI Steno CBT admit-card option for this 2024 cycle.

3. Enter BSF roll number and date of birth as DDMMYYYY (first password), plus captcha. If you reset the password earlier, use the new one.

4. Download the PDF. Read the exam date twice. If it is not 1 September, do not assume the “from 1 Sep” headline applies to you.

5. Print two copies. Watch the same portal for Kanpur, Jaipur or any other centre-change PDF before you travel.

What to carry

Carry the printed CBT admit card and the photo ID named on it. Report at the lab time printed for your shift. Follow the dress and item list on the slip (transparent bag, no smart watch, no notes). Stenographer candidates still sit the same style of CBT first; the skill test is not on this hall ticket unless BSF has printed a combined instruction. Keep a spare print in case the first copy tears at frisking.

Next stage

After CBT, the notified path is skill test (stenography for ASI; ministerial skill as the PDF describes), physical measurement (PMT), document verification and medical examination. Each stage gets its own notice or admit card on rectt.bsf.gov.in. Qualifying the computer paper does not skip physical or medical standards. Force allotment, if the advertisement is multi-CAPF, follows the merit and preference rules in that 2024 PDF.

Verify on the official site

Headlines that say “exam from 1 September” and city rumours about Kanpur or Jaipur often travel faster than BSF PDFs. If those stories conflict with your download, only rectt.bsf.gov.in is the source. Confirm roll-wise date and city on your card the morning you leave, in case a late night notice replaced the venue. Vacancy totals in this article are the commonly notified 2024 figures; reopen the official PDF before you quote them in any form.
