In what is being called the largest recruitment drive in its recent history, the Gujarat Police Department has officially announced the opening of applications for more than 10,459 constable positions across the state. The notification was released late last week, sending waves of optimism among job seekers who have been waiting for such an opportunity for several years.
The recruitment is being conducted under the Gujarat State Police Force rules, and all applications must be submitted exclusively through the online mode on the official portal at police.gujarat.gov.in. Authorities have emphasized that no offline or postal applications will be entertained under any circumstances, urging candidates to complete their forms before the deadline.
Eligibility criteria for the post require candidates to be Indian citizens, with a minimum of 10+2 graduation or equivalent from a recognized board. The upper age limit has been set at 26 years for general category candidates, with relaxations applicable for reserved categories as per government norms. Physical efficiency standards, including height and chest measurements for male candidates and height standards for female applicants, will also be strictly enforced during the selection process.
The selection process is expected to unfold in multiple stages, beginning with a written examination testing knowledge in areas such as general awareness, reasoning, mathematics, and Gujarati language proficiency. Shortlisted candidates will then face physical efficiency tests, medical examinations, and document verification rounds.
This recruitment drive comes at a time when Gujarat is actively working to strengthen its law enforcement infrastructure. With a rapidly growing population and increasing urbanization, the state government has acknowledged the need to bolster police forces to ensure effective public safety and crime control across both rural and urban landscapes.
Candidates are advised to regularly check the official website for updates regarding admit card release dates, examination schedules, and any modifications to the notification. Helpline numbers have also been made available for those facing technical difficulties during the application process.
