About these papers
The written examination for ASI (Stenographer / Combatant Stenographer) and Head Constable (Ministerial / Combatant Ministerial) in the CAPFs and Assam Rifles, Exam-2024 was conducted by the Border Security Force over 9 shifts — 1, 2 and 3 September 2026, plus 18 September 2026 for two Jaipur centres that were rescheduled after a technical failure.
Every paper here is reconstructed from the official candidate response sheets released for the objection window, so each question and each marked answer is the official one — nothing is memory-based and nothing is translated. The same question carries the same question ID in both mediums, so the Hindi paper is the genuine Hindi question as it was set, not a rendering of the English one.
Each shift carried a completely different set of 120 questions — there is no overlap between shifts, so all 1,080 questions are worth practising.
