The Gujarat Police has officially released the notification for one of its biggest recruitment drives in recent memory, announcing a total of 13,591 vacancies for the posts of Constable and Sub-Inspector (SI). The recruitment is being conducted under the Gujarat State Police Force recruitment framework, and candidates from across the state are eligible to apply as per the prescribed eligibility criteria.
The vacancies are spread across multiple categories including general, Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Other Backward Classes, and economically backward sections, ensuring adequate representation from all segments of society. The detailed category-wise breakup of the 13,591 positions will be available on the official Gujarat Police recruitment portal, where candidates can also view their respective district-wise allocations.
Eligibility for the Constable post requires candidates to have passed the 10th standard or its equivalent from a recognized board. For the Sub-Inspector position, applicants must hold a bachelor's degree from a university recognized by the Government of India. Additionally, candidates are required to meet the prescribed physical standards and physical efficiency tests, which include running, long jump, and high jump components as applicable.
The selection process will comprise multiple stages, beginning with a written examination followed by a Physical Efficiency Test (PET), Physical Measurement Test (PMT), document verification, and finally a medical examination. Candidates who clear each stage will move on to the subsequent round, with the merit list prepared based on cumulative performance across all qualifying phases.
The application window for the recruitment is expected to open shortly, with candidates urged to register on the official portal before the deadline. Relevant fees will apply, with fee concessions available for candidates belonging to reserved categories as per government norms.
This large-scale recruitment drive comes at a time when the Gujarat government has been actively working to strengthen its police force and improve public safety infrastructure across urban and rural areas. Industry observers note that the sheer scale of the recruitment — over 13,000 positions — reflects the state's commitment to expanding law enforcement capacity significantly.
