The DGAFMS Group C application window is closed. The official portal lists applications from 7 January to 6 February 2025; those dates have passed. The 2025 notice advertised 113 tentative vacancies, but the dates available for the written exam and certain later tests have also passed. Check the DGAFMS recruitment portal for any newer notice; the available schedule does not establish a current opening or final results.
Is DGAFMS recruitment 2025 still open?
No. The DGAFMS portal lists the new-user application period as 7 January through 6 February 2025, and the window is closed. A headline saying the application “closes soon” refers to the historical deadline, not an opportunity to apply now. For any fresh recruitment notice or update, use the official DGAFMS portal.
The portal lists the written examination for 3–6 June 2025. It also lists document verification and trade-specific tests in Delhi for Stenographer Grade II, Lower Division Clerk (LDC), and Fireman on 7–9 October 2025, with 10 October as a reserve date. These are past dates; the information available here does not establish whether a later notice changed the schedule or what the final outcomes were.

For other roles, use the relevant post-specific education, experience, age, and trade criteria in the DGAFMS recruitment portal. Meeting the basic criteria did not guarantee a test invitation: the notice states, “Merely fulfilling the basic selection criteria does not automatically entitle a person to be called for written test / trade specific tests.”
How was selection structured?
The notice described a 100-mark written examination followed, where applicable, by a qualifying typing, shorthand, or trade-specific test. The written exam was multiple choice, two hours long, and conducted in English and Hindi.
- General intelligence and reasoning
- Numerical aptitude
- General English
- General awareness
Candidates who qualified in the written examination could be called for the relevant post-specific test. The notice’s process does not mean every post required the same skill or trade test.
