The ITBP Head Constable and Constable Motor Mechanic application window announced in December 2024 is closed; its deadline was January 22, 2025. A separate report describes later 2026 Head Constable recruitments, but those are different posts and dates. Check the official ITBP recruitment portal for the notice that applies to you before relying on any current eligibility or application details.
What the December 2024 application announcement covered
The headline referred to 51 Motor Mechanic vacancies — ITBP recruitment details reported by Scroll.in, 2024. The posts comprised 7 Head Constable and 44 Constable vacancies. The application deadline was January 22, 2025, so that recruitment is no longer open.
For that closed cycle, Scroll.in reported an age range of 18–25 years as of January 22, 2025, and a ₹100 application fee for UR, OBC, and EWS applicants, with exemptions for SC/ST and ex-servicemen. These are historical details, not eligibility or fee guidance for later ITBP vacancies. See Scroll.in’s 2024 recruitment report and its eligibility and fee details.
What a separate 2026 report says
Bharat Ki Awaaz reported 37 Head Constable vacancies — ITBP recruitment advertisement dated September 21, 2026, as reported by Bharat Ki Awaaz, 2026. It described two roles, not a new Constable recruitment:
| Role | Reported vacancies | Reported pay | Reported age range |

| Education & Stress Counsellor | 16 vacancies — ITBP recruitment advertisement, 2026, as reported by Bharat Ki Awaaz | Pay Level 4; ₹25,500–81,100 | 20–25 years |
| Motor Mechanic | 21 vacancies — ITBP recruitment advertisement, 2026, as reported by Bharat Ki Awaaz | Pay Level 3; ₹21,700–69,100 | 18–25 years |
The figures and terms in this table are from secondary reporting and should be checked against the applicable official advertisement. Bharat Ki Awaaz reported that applications for these posts run from September 28 to October 27, 2026. The dates are the period reported from the ITBP advertisement, not confirmation from an official portal. See the 2026 dates and overall vacancy report and the role-wise vacancies, pay, age, and qualification details.
Reported qualifications
- Education & Stress Counsellor: The report describes a Psychology-degree route or a degree-plus-teaching qualification route.

Confirm the exact qualification wording, age relaxations, physical standards, and category rules in the official notice; the official advertisement was not directly available for verification.
Selection stages reported for the 2026 posts
The secondary report lists a Physical Efficiency Test (PET), Physical Standard Test (PST), written examination, document verification, and medical examination. It says the Motor Mechanic post additionally has a practical skill test. Consult the reported selection process alongside the official notice, which governs the actual stages and requirements.
