UPSC CISF-AC-EXE – 2022
– Option A (Citizen of India) is a fundamental requirement for appointment to Central Government services, especially security forces.
– Option C (Good moral character) is essential for members of any disciplined force.
– Option D (Belonging to such categories of persons as may… be declared by the Central Government) refers to the government’s authority to set recruitment criteria, including educational qualifications, age limits, reservation policies, etc., which is a valid aspect of eligibility.
– Option B (The person shall have training in civil defence) is not a standard *eligibility condition* for *appointment*. Training in civil defence or other relevant skills is usually imparted *during* the recruitment process or as part of the training curriculum *after* a candidate is selected for appointment. It is not a pre-requisite for applying or being considered eligible.
