The Maharashtra Police Department has officially announced an extension of the last date for online applications under its 2025 recruitment drive, aiming to fill over 15,000 vacant positions across multiple ranks. The move comes after numerous aspirants cited difficulties in meeting the original deadline due to technical issues and lack of awareness in remote areas of the state.
The recruitment notification, initially released earlier this year, outlined vacancies for positions including Constable (General Duty), Constable (Special Duty), Fireman, and Sub-Inspector across the Maharashtra Police department. Candidates from all castes and communities meeting the prescribed eligibility criteria are encouraged to apply before the revised deadline.
Officials from the Maharashtra Police Headquarters confirmed that the extension was granted to ensure greater inclusivity and to give eligible candidates adequate time to complete their applications. The move is expected to benefit rural and economically disadvantaged aspirants who often face challenges related to internet access and digital literacy.
The official recruitment portal at mahapolice.gov.in remains operational around the clock, and applicants are advised to regularly check the notifications section for any further updates regarding exam schedules, admit card releases, and result declarations. The selection process is expected to include a written examination, physical efficiency test, and document verification stages, as per the standard recruitment framework for Maharashtra Police posts.
Senior police officials stated that the recruitment drive represents one of the largest hiring exercises in the history of the Maharashtra Police force, and the department is committed to ensuring a transparent and fair selection process. Candidates who have already submitted their applications are not required to reapply, but those who missed the earlier deadline can now complete the registration process at their convenience.
