Details
The Indian Coast Guard has invited online applications, through the Staff Selection Commission, for enrolled posts under the Coast Guard Enrolled Persons Test (CGEPT) for batches 01/2027 and 02/2027. The posts are Navik (General Duty), Navik (Domestic Branch), Yantrik and Hygienist-I. Applications run from 6 October 2026 (11:00) to 21 October 2026 (17:30) on ssc.gov.in.
Tentative vacancies for batch 01/27 are 117 male and 13 female Navik (GD), plus 28 Yantrik (Mechanical), 23 Yantrik (Electrical) and 9 Yantrik (Electronics). Batch 02/27 has 117 male and 13 female Navik (GD), 25 Navik (DB) and 20 Hygienist-I. Adding these up ourselves gives 190 posts in batch 01/27 and 175 in batch 02/27, 365 in all. Male Navik (GD) vacancies are zone-wise, and the numbers may change.
Navik (GD) needs Class 12 with Maths and Physics; Navik (DB) needs Class 10; Hygienist-I needs Matriculation or ITI; Yantrik needs Class 10 plus an engineering diploma. The fee is Rs. 550, with no fee for SC/ST candidates. Stage-I is a one-hour online test of 100 questions with no negative marking, followed by physical and document stages at Coast Guard centres. Always confirm the final details in the official notification.
Syllabus: the SSC notice of 6 October 2026 says only that the Stage-I syllabus is "as specified by SSC" and does not list sections or topics, so no official syllabus is published yet. Until it appears, the earlier Coast Guard pattern is the best guide: Section I at Class 10 level (Mathematics, Science, English, Reasoning, General Knowledge) for Navik GD and Navik DB, and Section II with Class 12 Mathematics and Physics for Navik GD. Yantrik candidates also expect diploma-level Electrical, Mechanical or Electronics questions. Treat this as an estimate and check ssc.gov.in for the official syllabus.
Previous year papers: no paper from the new SSC-run test exists yet. Three memory-based Navik GD papers from 20 to 22 March 2021 are on Pratiyogita Kosh with answers and a timed mock each, at pratiyogitakosh.com/exams/indian-coast-guard-navik-yantrik. These are recalled by candidates, not official papers.
