The Border Security Force (BSF) has released the BSF HC Ministerial and ASI Steno Admit Card 2026 for candidates shortlisted for the Computer Based Test under the common recruitment of Head Constable (Ministerial) and Assistant Sub Inspector (Stenographer) posts in CAPFs and Assam Rifles.

Latest Update: The CBT admit card became available on 19 August 2026. The computer-based written examination is scheduled to commence from 1 September 2026 onwards. Candidates should log in to the admit-card portal to check their exact exam date, shift, reporting time and examination centre.

Since the exam will be conducted across different centres and shifts, the individual hall ticket is the most important document for candidate-specific scheduling information.

BSF HC Ministerial & ASI Steno Admit Card 2026 Overview

1526 Posts or 1752 Posts – Why Is the Vacancy Number Different?

Many candidates may still see 1,526 vacancies on older recruitment pages because that was the vacancy count in the original 2024 advertisement. BSF later issued a corrigendum revising the vacancies.

According to the revised vacancy notice dated 6 March 2025, the number of posts was revised to 1,752, consisting of 256 ASI Stenographer / equivalent posts and 1,496 Head Constable Ministerial / equivalent posts.

Important: For vacancy-related claims, candidates should rely on the latest corrigendum or notice issued by the recruiting authority rather than only the original 2024 vacancy figure.

BSF HCM & ASI Steno CBT Exam Date 2026

The Computer Based Test for eligible candidates is scheduled to start from 1 September 2026 onwards. The recruitment authority may conduct the examination on multiple dates or shifts, so candidates should not assume that every applicant will appear on 1 September itself.

Your exact exam date, reporting time, shift and test-centre address should be checked directly on the downloaded admit card.
