Examples (using the printed 23-year ceiling, before sportsperson relaxation):
✅ A 22-year-old applicant who is 22 years old on the cut-off printed in the detailed advertisement — eligible on the 23-year band.
❌ A 24-year-old applicant who is above 23 years and who does not qualify for the printed meritorious-sportsperson relaxation — not eligible for the base band.
Use our Age Eligibility Calculator to check instantly. Re-check against the detailed advertisement once it names the cut-off date.
What Is the Constable GD Sports Quota Salary?
The short notice pay is Level-3, ₹21,700 to ₹69,100.
That is the 7th CPC matrix band for this Constable GD post. DA, HRA, transport allowance, ration money and hardship or high-altitude allowances that ITBP personnel may draw after joining are not printed in this short notice.
No in-hand figure is official. For a central CAPF Level-3 post, use the Defence Pay Calculator only as an indicative worksheet. Actual take-home depends on posting station and the allowances in the appointment order.
NPS, pension and confirmation rules are not printed here.
What Is the Application Fee?
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| Male UR / OBC / EWS | ₹100 |
| Female (all categories) | Exempt |
| SC / ST | Exempt |
| Ex-Servicemen | Exempt (seats themselves are not open to ESM) |
Pay the fee only through the ITBP recruitment website when the form is live. The short notice does not print a separate SBI Collect URL.
How to Apply?
- Wait until 03 October 2026, 12:01 AM, then open the ITBP recruitment portal.
- Read the detailed advertisement first. This article is built on the short notice only.
- Register with a working mobile number and email ID.
- Fill Constable (General Duty) – Sports Quota and select only a listed discipline.
- Upload the documents the detailed advertisement names. The short notice itself names the meritorious-sportsperson certificate.
- Pay ₹100 if you are a male UR/OBC/EWS candidate.
- Submit before 01 November 2026, 11:59 PM and save the application printout.
If the apply button is not live on 03 October 2026, use the portal’s current openings list. Do not invent a deep form URL.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying from this short notice alone, without reading the detailed advertisement for education and medal rules.
- Selecting a sport or weight class that is not in the printed table (for example, a female Football or Volleyball applicant — those rows are male-only here).
- Treating the scanned “Sports Quota-2025” heading as the code to write on forms.
- Paying the fee before confirming that the form for this cycle is actually open on the portal.
आईटीबीपी कांस्टेबल जीडी खेल कोटा भर्ती 2026 – 126 पदों के लिए ऑनलाइन आवेदन
इंडो-तिब्बतन बॉर्डर पुलिस बल ने खेल कोटा के तहत कांस्टेबल (जनरल ड्यूटी) के 126 पदों का संक्षिप्त विज्ञापन जारी किया है। पुरुष 72 और महिला 54 सीटें हैं। आवेदन 03 अक्टूबर 2026, 12:01 AM से 01 नवंबर 2026, 11:59 PM तक केवल recruitment.itbpolice.nic.in पर ऑनलाइन है।
कौन आवेदन कर सकता है?
केवल मेधावी खिलाड़ी। निर्धारित प्राधिकारी का निर्धारित प्रारूप प्रमाण पत्र अनिवार्य है। दिव्यांग और भूतपूर्व सैनिक इन सीटों के लिए पात्र नहीं हैं। शैक्षणिक योग्यता इस संक्षिप्त सूचना में छपी नहीं है — विस्तृत विज्ञापन देखें।
वेतन और उम्र क्या है?
वेतन लेवल-3, ₹21,700–69,100। उम्र 18 से 23 वर्ष है। मेधावी खिलाड़ियों को अधिकतम 5 वर्ष और SC/ST मेधावी खिलाड़ियों को अधिकतम 10 वर्ष तक ऊपरी आयु में छूट छपी है।
आवेदन कैसे करें?
पोर्टल पर विस्तृत विज्ञापन पढ़कर ही फॉर्म भरें। पुरुष UR/OBC/EWS के लिए शुल्क ₹100 है। महिला, SC और ST मुक्त हैं। Employment News अंक 3–9 अक्टूबर 2026 का है; आवेदन से पहले पोर्टल पर लाइव सूचना जाँच लें।
How Are Candidates Selected?
The short notice does not print the selection sequence. It only says ITBP may change the sequence given in the detailed advertisement.
Do not treat PST, PET, sports trial or medical as confirmed stages for this cycle until the detailed advertisement names them.
Physical standards and PET timings are not specified in this notification. They will appear in the detailed advertisement or call letter, if used.
No written-exam pattern, syllabus or interview rule is printed in the short notice.
The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take – Is This Drive for You?
This is a sports-quota entry into ITBP Constable GD, not an SSC GD written-exam drive. The short notice is useful for dates, fee, Level-3 pay and the 28-discipline table. It is not enough to decide eligibility on education or medals.
Best fit: men and women who already hold a proper meritorious-sportsperson certificate in a listed event, and who can wait two days for the detailed advertisement before paying ₹100.
Look elsewhere if you need a confirmed Matriculation-only rule, a printed medal window, or a seat as a PwBD or Ex-Serviceman candidate. Those bars and gaps are in this cutting.

Practical tip: Save the discipline table today, but do not file the form until you have matched your event, weight class and certificate authority against the detailed advertisement on recruitment.itbpolice.nic.in.
What makes this recruitment different on the printed text: one Constable GD designation, gender-split seats, 28 named disciplines, a ₹100 male-UR fee, and an explicit bar on PwBD and ESM. Other CAPF sports-quota windows run on their own advertisements; do not copy another force’s trial rules onto this form.

What Documents Are Required?
Printed in the short notice:
- Certificate relating to meritorious sportspersons, in the prescribed form and from the prescribed authority
- Proof that you meet the educational and other eligibility conditions that the detailed advertisement will name
The short notice does not list photograph size, photo-ID type or caste-certificate format. Follow the detailed advertisement and the portal checklist. Serving government employees should be ready with an NOC if that advertisement asks for one at verification.
What Happens After Selection?
Only the destination post is clear from this cutting. Stages after the form are not printed.
- Online application on recruitment.itbpolice.nic.in between 03 October and 01 November 2026.
- Selection stages as named in the detailed advertisement (not printed here).
- Appointment to Constable (General Duty) under Sports Quota if you clear every stage the Force notifies, on Level-3 pay as printed.
Probation, bond, posting station and any later review of sports performance are not specified in this notice.
Contact & Helpline
The short notice does not print a usable recruitment email, phone number or helpdesk timing. A DIG (Recruitment) line on the scan is too garbled to quote as a number.
Use only the contact details published with the detailed advertisement on recruitment.itbpolice.nic.in.
⚠️ Contact details sourced from the official notification/website. Verify before contacting. NEVER pay any money over the phone or to any person claiming to offer job assistance. Report fraud to cybercrime.gov.in.

01 November 2026, 11:59 PM. The short notice also opens the form on 03 October 2026, 12:01 AM. No extension is printed as of 29 September 2026.
What is the age limit for ITBP Constable GD Sports Quota?
18 to 23 years, as printed. Meritorious sportspersons get upper-age relaxation up to 5 years; SC/ST meritorious sportspersons up to 10 years. Confirm the reckoning date from the detailed advertisement.
Is there an exam for ITBP Sports Quota Constable GD?
Not printed. The short notice defers the sequence to the detailed advertisement and allows ITBP to change that sequence. Do not assume a written paper or a trial format until that advertisement names it.
What is the salary of ITBP Constable GD under Sports Quota?
Level-3, ₹21,700–69,100, as printed. Allowances and in-hand pay are not printed in the short notice. Use the Defence Pay Calculator only as an indicative worksheet.
Can final-year students apply for this recruitment?
The short notice does not address final-year or result-awaited candidates. Educational qualification itself is not printed here. Do not assume eligibility until the detailed advertisement states the academic rule and the date by which it must be held.
Is ITBP Constable GD Sports Quota a permanent government job?
This is advertised as a Regular Group ‘C’ government post in ITBP. Regular CAPF appointments are made on probation and confirmed under applicable service rules. The short notice does not use the phrase “permanent government job.”
Can candidates from other states apply for ITBP Sports Quota?
Yes. This is an all-India CAPF recruitment. Indian citizens and subjects of Nepal or Bhutan, as printed, may apply. No state-domicile bar is printed in the short notice.
Where will I be posted if selected as ITBP Constable GD?
Anywhere ITBP is deployed. The short notice does not offer a home-state choice or name a first unit. ITBP guards the India-China border belt and also holds other Force duties.
What should I know before applying?
Worth knowing: the detailed advertisement is not on the portal yet, and these 126 seats are not open to PwBD or Ex-Servicemen. Vacancies are tentative. Pay the ₹100 fee only after you match your event and certificate to the detailed rules.
Is Matriculation enough for ITBP Sports Quota Constable GD?
Not on this short notice. It only says candidates must meet educational and other conditions and produce the prescribed sports certificate. Treat “10th pass” claims as unverified until the detailed advertisement prints the academic rule.
