No. The application window for the Indian Coast Guard Assistant Commandant 2026-batch recruitment is closed. Scroll reported 140 posts and a final application date of December 24, 2024, so this is a past recruitment notice—not an opportunity to apply in 2026. Scroll’s report describes the deadline; the official Coast Guard index now lists different recruitment notices.
What happened to the 140-post recruitment?
The recruitment was for Assistant Commandant posts in the 2026 batch. Scroll reported 140 vacancies and said applications closed on December 24, 2024. That date means the application period ended well before 2026; the phrase “2026” refers to the batch, not the year applications were open.
The report identified General Duty and Technical branches, including Engineering and Electrical/Electronics. It described a selection sequence of CGCAT, Preliminary Selection Board, Final Selection Board, medical examination and induction. Those details are attributable to the report; the original official notice containing the full terms was not located, so they should not be treated as a substitute for its authoritative eligibility and vacancy details.
Is there a current Coast Guard application instead?
Yes, but it is a different recruitment. As of October 8, 2026, the Indian Coast Guard recruitment index lists registration notices for CGEPT-01/27 and CGEPT-02/27, scheduled to begin October 6, 2026, and directs applicants to SSC. CGEPT notices are not the closed Assistant Commandant 2026-batch recruitment. Check the current notice and its application link before proceeding; do not use the old Assistant Commandant report as instructions for CGEPT.

Where to verify future officer recruitment
The Indian Coast Guard’s online recruitment website is an official channel for officer recruitment information. A Ministry of Defence Press Information Bureau release announcing the website on December 20, 2021, said it would provide online application facilities, recruitment-process information, job profiles and details about training and pay and allowances. Its launch-era projections—including recruitment twice a year and reach to around 100 cities—are historical statements, not confirmation of the current schedule or exam-centre count. See the PIB release and the official recruitment index.
