I am confident that the decision to allow Constable(GD) CAPF exams in 13 regional languages including Assamese will enable a large number of youth from Assam to serve Bharat Mata by joining our paramilitary forces.”

Apart from Assamese, the examinations will also be conducted in 12 other regional languages, including Manipuri, Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, Malayalam, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Odia, Urdu, Punjabi, and Konkani.

With the addition of 13 regional languages to Hindi and English, the examination is expected to become more accessible to candidates and improve their selection prospects.

The examinations in the 13 regional languages will be conducted from January 01, 2024, onwards, and are expected to benefit a large number of youth from Assam and other states who aspire to serve their country by joining the paramilitary forces.
