BSF HCM and ASI Steno Result 2026: CBT Result Status, Next Steps

Candidates who appeared in the computer-based test (CBT) for Head Constable (Ministerial) and ASI (Stenographer) in the CAPFs and Assam Rifles are now waiting for the result. The Border Security Force (BSF), which is running this recruitment, held the CBT from 1 to 3 September 2026, with a rescheduled exam on 18 September 2026 for affected candidates.

As of 3 November 2026, BSF has not published the CBT result on its recruitment website, rectt.bsf.gov.in, and no result date has been announced. The objection window on the provisional answer key closed on 23 September 2026.

BSF HCM and ASI Steno Exam: Key Facts

The vacancy figure is from the notification issued in June 2024. Vacancies in such recruitments can be revised, so check the result notice for the final numbers.

About This Recruitment

Although the result will appear on the BSF website, this is a combined recruitment. BSF conducts it on behalf of the Central Armed Police Forces, namely BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITBP and SSB, along with the Assam Rifles. The official notices refer to it as the recruitment for ASI (Steno/Combatant Steno) and HC (Ministerial/Combatant Ministerial) in CAPFs and Assam Rifles Exam-2024, which is the name to look for when the result notice appears.

The exam is labelled “Exam-2024” because the recruitment was notified in June 2024, even though the CBT took place in September 2026. Candidates applying through LDCE are serving personnel taking the departmental route, while direct-entry candidates applied from the open market. Both groups sat the same CBT window, and both were covered by the objection portal opened in September.

What Has Happened So Far

CBT and Rescheduling

The CBT began on 1 September 2026. In a notice dated 1 September, BSF said that the exam for candidates scheduled on 2 September (shifts 1, 2 and 3) and 3 September (shift 1) at iON Digital Zone Sitapura 1 and 2 in Jaipur had been rescheduled to 18 September 2026 because of a technical issue at the centre. Separate admit cards were issued for these candidates.

Answer Key and Objections

On 21 September 2026, BSF opened an Objection Management Portal for all candidates who took the CBT on 1 to 3 September and 18 September, both through direct entry and LDCE. Objections could be raised until 11:55 pm on 23 September 2026. The result will be prepared after these objections are reviewed.

BSF HCM and ASI Steno Result 2026: Expected Format

BSF usually publishes recruitment results as PDF notices on rectt.bsf.gov.in. A result list for this exam would be expected to show the roll numbers of candidates who qualified the CBT and are called for the next stage. The exact format, including whether category-wise cut-off marks are published with it, will be known only when BSF releases the notice.

How to Check the Result

1. Visit the official recruitment website, rectt.bsf.gov.in.
2. Look for the notice about the CBT result for ASI (Steno) and HC (Ministerial) Exam-2024 in the scrolling list of announcements.
3. Click the notice to open the PDF.
4. Use the search option (Ctrl + F on a computer) to look for your roll number.
5. Download and save the PDF, and note any instructions about the next stage.

Keep your roll number, registration details and admit card handy. Do not trust result links or “merit lists” circulated on social media; BSF has already warned candidates about fake notices circulating for another recruitment this year.

Cut-Off Marks

BSF has not published any cut-off marks for this CBT yet. Cut-offs are set after the result is prepared and depend on the number of vacancies in each category, the number of candidates, and how difficult the paper was. Any “expected cut-off” figures you see online are guesses, not official numbers, so use them with caution.

Next Stages After the CBT

Qualifying the CBT is only the first step. Candidates who are shortlisted will move to the later stages laid down in the recruitment notice. These include a skill test, which checks typing speed for Head Constable (Ministerial) candidates and stenography for ASI (Steno) candidates, along with document verification and a medical examination. Final selection depends on clearing every stage.

How to Prepare for the Skill Test

• Practise typing or shorthand daily on a computer, not just on paper, as the test is conducted on computers.
• Work on accuracy first and speed second; errors usually cost more than a slightly slower pace.
• Get familiar with the type of passages used in government skill tests, such as official letters and reports.
• Keep all original certificates ready, including educational, category and domicile documents, for verification.

Points to Remember

• The result has not been released yet; BSF has not announced a date.
• The result will be published on rectt.bsf.gov.in.
• Shortlisted candidates should watch the same website for admit cards and schedules for the next stage.
• If you have a problem with the website or your details, use the “Helpdesk for Candidates” section on the BSF recruitment site.
