Documents to Upload
Applications are accepted only through online mode at www.recruitment.itbpolice.nic.in. No offline application will be accepted. While filling in profile details on the website, candidates must upload clear and legible copies of:
- Photograph and scanned signature
- Certificate in support of MBBS or equivalent qualification, issued by a recognised university
- Certificate of the specialised qualification, where applicable to the post applied for
- Registration certificate of MCI / NMC or the State Medical Council
Keep these ready in advance. Illegible uploads are a routine cause of rejection at scrutiny, and the portal closes at 11:59 PM on 8 September 2026 with no extension implied.
Eligibility, Selection Procedure and Detailed Criteria
The newspaper advertisement carries the vacancy position, fee and dates. For the full picture — detailed pay and allowances, eligibility conditions, the procedure for filling the online application form, the recruitment procedure and the tests involved — candidates are advised to read the detailed advertisement hosted on the ITBP recruitment website.
ITBP specifically advises candidates to fill their profile and apply through the online application form strictly as per the eligibility criteria and instructions given, to avoid disqualification at a later stage. In a combined CAPF medical selection of this size, disqualification usually happens at document scrutiny rather than at the test — a mismatch between the registration certificate, the degree certificate and the details entered in the profile is enough.
