RPF Constable vacancies are notified in the official advertisement. Indian Railways release the vacancies in a zone-wise manner. RPF constable vacancies are released by the Ministry of Railways (Railway Board). The RPF Constable vacancies influence the recruitment process at every stage. A higher number of vacancies implies a lower cutoff at every stage because the recruitment authority needs to select more candidates at every stage of recruitment. Vacancies serve as the motivation factor for the candidates and in turn, increase the competition in the exam because of the higher number of applications. Vacancies will be officially notified in the advertisement and the zone-wise details of vacancies will also be mentioned in the document.

In the upcoming RPF constable notification, vacancies for female candidates will be higher than the previous year as per media reports. The Ministry of Railways is planning to induct more women in RPF to increase its overall strength.
