candidature or that the Commission has accepted entries made by the candidate in
his/her application for the Examination as true and correct.
Candidates may note that the Commission will take up the verification of
eligibility conditions of a candidate, with reference to original documents,
only after the candidate has qualified the Central Police Forces (Written)

formally confirms candidature, it continues to be provisional.
The
decision of the Commission as to the eligibility or otherwise of a candidate for
admission to the Examination shall be final.

should note that the name in the Admission Certificate in some cases may be
abbreviated due to technical reasons.
