Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D

Explanation

According to the Central Industrial Security Force (Group 'A' Executive Officers) Recruitment Rules, 2009, notified by the Ministry of Home Affairs, the recruitment structure for Assistant Commandant (Executive) was modified. The 2009 amendment set the direct recruitment (conducted by the UPSC) at 48%.

The complete distribution of vacancies under these rules is as follows:

  • 48%: Direct Recruitment (UPSC).
  • 2%: Direct Recruitment (Meritorious Sports Persons).
  • 33%: Promotion.
  • 17%: Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE).

This amendment significantly reduced the promotion quota (previously 50%) to favor a larger intake of direct entry officers, ensuring a younger leadership profile in the CISF.
