• SSC has opened CPO 2026 recruitment for Sub-Inspector posts in Delhi Police, CAPFs and CISF.
• The vacancy table lists 1,871 posts, while the introductory text mentions 3,073 tentative vacancies.
• Online applications are open from September 10 to 30, 2026.

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has started the application process for the Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces Examination 2026. The recruitment covers Sub-Inspector (Executive) posts in Delhi Police, Sub-Inspector (GD) positions in CAPFs and Sub-Inspector (Fire) vacancies in CISF, with online applications accepted until 11 PM on September 30, 2026.

The recruitment is being conducted under Advertisement No. E/37/2026-C-2 SECTION. The post-wise vacancy distribution provided for the examination adds up to 1,871 positions, including 317 Delhi Police SI posts, 1,320 CAPF SI vacancies and 234 CISF SI (Fire) posts. However, the introductory recruitment information separately states 3,073 tentative vacancies, creating a discrepancy that candidates should verify against the detailed SSC notification before relying on the overall vacancy count.
