Selection Process, Skill Tests & Mandatory Documents

After PST/PET shortlisting, BSF typically follows a sequence that includes CBT (where applicable), skill/typing tests for stenographers and clerks, document verification and medical examination.

Skill/Typing Tests (Role-specific)

ASI (Steno) and Havaldar (Clerk) posts may require skill assessments like stenography speed test or typing accuracy. Notification PDFs indicate required speeds (wpm), test duration and qualifying standards. Prepare by refreshing typing/steno practice and following official instructions strictly.

Expert Insights — How to Navigate the Shortlist & Maximise Selection Odds

Read the linked notice carefully: Some shortlists carry attached instructions — test centers, reporting time, document formats and medical norms. Non-compliance can mean disqualification.
Prepare for CBT/Skill test: If shortlisted for CBT, revise objective/general awareness and role-specific topics. For ASI/Steno/Clerk, practice typing/steno speed and accuracy under exam conditions.

Medical standards: Understand the medical fitness criteria applicable to BSF recruits; visit a registered physician for pre-checks if needed.
