Karan Thakur joined FIRST IAS INSTITUTE for CAPF Assistant Commandant preparation—needing both written strategy and physical readiness.

Classroom coverage of Paper I GS and Paper II essay/comprehension sat alongside a weekly fitness checklist mentors encouraged him to track.

He practised previous-year papers under timed conditions and refined essay structure with faculty feedback.

Selection into CRPF as Assistant Commandant reflected balanced preparation across intellect and endurance.

Karan emphasises that CAPF rewards candidates who treat the physical test as seriously as the written papers from day one.

“Written mocks built confidence. Tracking PET progress weekly kept me from last-minute panic.”
