⛔ One hard ceiling applies to everyone. After availing relaxation under any one or more of the above heads, your age must in no case exceed 45 years. Beyond these heads no further relaxation is given, and if you claim any relaxation you must attach the matching certificate — a District Magistrate or SDM certificate for divorced women, the husband’s death certificate for widows, the award certificate for Samman holders, and a competent-authority certificate for the rest.
Physical Standards
| Standard | General | Scheduled Tribe |
|---|---|---|
| Height (male) | 168 cm | 168 cm |
| Height (female) | 153 cm | 153 cm |
| Chest (unexpanded / expanded) | 81 / 86 cm | 76 / 81 cm |
A minimum 5 cm chest expansion is compulsory with no relaxation, and women candidates are exempt from this test. Vision without glasses must be at least 6/9 in one eye and 6/12 in the other, with no colour blindness.
What is the Salary for CG Vyapam Nagar Sena Posts 2026?
All five posts carry Pay Matrix Level-4. We will be straight with you: the notification prints only the pay matrix level and no rupee figure, so we are not going to invent one. Check the Chhattisgarh pay matrix for the Level-4 basic pay applicable when you join.
On top of basic pay you get Dearness Allowance, House Rent Allowance and other state allowances. Selected candidates serve a probation of three years. These are permanent state government posts under the Fire & Emergency Services, so job security and steady increments are the real draw.
What is the Selection Process for CG Vyapam Nagar Sena Bharti 2026?
The first stage is already over. Here is where things stand.
| Stage | Status |
|---|---|
| 1. Physical Efficiency Test (100 marks) | Already conducted by the department |
| 2. Online application on CGSSB portal | Open now — skip it and you cannot sit the exam |
| 3. Admit card download | 16 November 2026 |
| 4. Written examination (100 marks) | 22 November 2026 |
| 5. Trade test (drivers only, 100 marks) | For Vahan Chalak and Vahan Chalak cum Operator |
| 6. Model answer key and objections | ₹50 per question, online only |
| 7. Final answer key, result and document verification | By the department, not CGSSB |
You must clear a minimum score, not just attend. In the written exam, General candidates need 40 marks and SC / ST / OBC candidates 30 marks out of 100. In the physical test the bar was 50 marks for General and 40 for SC / ST / OBC out of 100. Candidates for Vahan Chalak and Vahan Chalak cum Operator additionally sit a 100-mark trade test, needing 50 marks (General) or 40 marks (SC / ST / OBC).
Bonus marks can lift your rank. You get 5 bonus marks for each of these — a heavy motor vehicle driving licence, proficiency in a national-level sport (only winners of all-India competitions run directly by that sport’s national federation), or an NCC ‘C’ certificate — capped at 10 bonus marks in total. The driving-licence bonus does not apply to the Vahan Chalak and Vahan Chalak cum Operator posts, since a licence is already compulsory there.
How the final merit is calculated: for all five posts the selection list is built from physical test 100 marks + written exam 100 marks + bonus 10 marks, with the bonus counted separately. So your physical-test score still counts — the written exam is not the whole story.
