The Gujarat Police recruitment application process for over 13,591 vacancies across the Police Sub-Inspector and Constable categories has reached its deadline today. Candidates who have not yet submitted their online applications are advised that the registration portal, operated through the State Employment Exchange at ojas.gujarat.gov.in, will likely shut down shortly, making it essential for eligible aspirants to complete their forms immediately.
This recruitment drive, announced by the Gujarat Home Department, covers positions under the state police force that fall within Group-A and Group-B classifications. The recruitment cycle was designed to strengthen grassroots policing capacity and replenish staffing levels across districts that have seen prolonged vacancies due to attrition and expansion of police outposts in recent years.
Candidates applying for the Constable position must meet minimum educational qualifications set by the state recruitment board, typically passing the 12th standard or an equivalent examination from a recognized institution. Aspirants applying for the Police Sub-Inspector role are generally required to hold a bachelor's degree from a university recognized by the University Grants Commission. Physical efficiency standards, including height and chest measurements for male candidates and relevant physical endurance tests, remain mandatory components of the selection process alongside written examinations.
Applicants are strongly urged to verify that they have uploaded all required documents, including identity proof, educational certificates, caste certificates where applicable, and recent photographs meeting the specified format. Payment of the application fee, which varies depending on category reservations, must also be completed successfully before the submission deadline expires. Candidates who paid via online payment gateways should retain transaction reference numbers as proof of payment.
After the application deadline passes, the recruitment authorities are expected to release a final list of eligible candidates who will be called for the written examination phase. The selection process typically includes a preliminary written test, physical measurement and endurance tests, document verification, and a medical examination conducted by designated government hospitals. Successful candidates will be allocated to various districts across Gujarat based on merit rankings and reservation policies.
The Gujarat government has emphasized that this large-scale recruitment effort is part of broader efforts to improve public safety infrastructure and ensure adequate police presence in both urban and rural areas across the state.
