The Border Security Force (BSF) Medical Directorate has issued Advertisement No. 11/63/2026/Med Dte/BSF/7298-7658 dated 17 September 2026, inviting deputation applications from government employees for 34 Sub-Inspector positions across three paramedical specialisations. This recruitment is exclusively for eligible government servants seeking to join BSF's medical division on deputation basis.
Overview
Under the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Directorate General of BSF's Medical Directorate manages healthcare operations across BSF personnel and facilities. This recruitment drive seeks qualified paramedical professionals to strengthen the medical workforce. Unlike regular recruitment, deputation-based appointments involve transferring serving government employees from their parent departments to BSF on a temporary basis, combining continuity of service with cross-organizational expertise.
Applicants must be regular government employees with proven experience in their respective paramedical fields. The application process is entirely offline, requiring nominations to be formally forwarded through the parent department. This ensures that only vetted, serving government professionals with institutional backing participate in the selection process.
