At a glance

The facts most likely to change your decision.

Vacancies
Fireman vacancies are fixed in the Nagar Sena directorate's own proposal
The board's notice records only that the directorate proposed filling vacant Fireman posts, under its letters 350/स्था.-3/भर्ती/2025 dated 30 June 2025, 440/स्था./फायर भर्ती/2025 dated 11 December 2025 and 293/स्था.3/फायर भर्ती/2026 dated 28 April 2026; it prints no number, so none is asserted here.
Education
10th · 12th
The educational and physical qualifications for Fireman posts are fixed by the Directorate General, Nagar Sena, Fire and Emergency Services and SDRF; the board's examination notice carries only the examination schedule.
Age
The age band for Fireman posts is fixed by the Directorate General, Nagar Sena, Fire and Emergency Services and SDRF in its own departmental advertisement; the board's examination notice does not state one.
Relaxations and cut-off dates are category-specific.
Application fee
The examination fee is paid online with the application. Chhattisgarh's General Administration Department order F 10-2/2022/एक(1) dated 8 April 2022 exempts the state's local-resident participants from the fee for board examinations, and order RULE-8/2/2024-GAD-1 dated 21 April 2025 defines that exempt 'participant' as a candidate who actually appears, so the board refunds the fee to those candidates into the bank account used for payment (board notice 1913 dated 7 May 2026).
Use the official payment instructions only.
Pay
Pay for the Fireman post is fixed by the Nagar Sena directorate in its departmental advertisement; the board's notice does not state it.
Gross and in-hand pay vary by posting and allowance.
