Today, I’m here to discuss all about BSF such as BSF full form, Qualification, Age Limit, Highest Post, How To Join BSF ? and other important details about it.
Hello everyone, how are you ?, I hope that all of you are doing great.
Today’s topic is very important for all the people who love to become a part of Border security force or an officer in BSF.
For your kind information, I just want to clear that becoming an officer in BSF or a part of BSF is really a herculean task.
But, you cannot say that it’s impossible.
Moreover, sometimes I have seen that people are confused between Indian Army & other forces like BSF, CRPF, CISF etc.
Actually, Indian army and other forces ( BSF, CRPF, CISF ), which I explained above are completely different in process.
It means, the process to achieve BSF & Indian army is completely different. Even the work profile is different for both of them.
Since, this article is about BSF, here we will only focus on details related to BSF.
Firstly, I will tell you about what BSF is.
After that I will discuss other important details related to it.
So, without wasting your valuable time, let’s start the topic.

1. What is BSF ? –
The people who really love Indian army, definitely this question will have come into the mind and that is ‘ what is BSF ? ‘
Because, BSF is a very popular force in India and it’s very tough to achieve.
BSF is nothing but it’s a type of force which is deployed on the borders ( like India-Bangladesh, India-Pakistan ) of the country.
The work of BSF is only to see that there is no illegal intrusion on the borders from the contiguous country.
As a result, the country can feel safe and has no problem.
Now, I think you must have understood about what BSF is.

Before starting the preparation of BSF you must know the BSF full form so that you don’t feel hesitation at the time of asking by someone.

Because, BSF includes a couple of ranks. This is why, we cannot tell the exact salary. It only depends on the rank.
The ranks which come in the criteria of BSF can provide you salary from INR 18,000 to 105000.
This range of salary includes all the posts in BSF such as Enrolled Follower, Constable, Head Constable, Sub-Inspector, Inspector, Special Director General, Director General and more.

Because, to be a part of BSF and to become a BSF officer both are different things.
