The Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board (TSLPRB) has issued notifications for direct recruitment to a range of posts across the state's uniformed services. In total, 7,437 posts have been thrown open, making this one of the most closely tracked government job announcements in Telangana this year.
The vacancies cut across five departments — the Police department, the Special Protection Force (SPF), the Fire, Disaster Response, Emergency and Civil Defence department, and the Prisons and Correctional Services department. Between them, the notifications cover 18 distinct post categories ranging from Sub Inspector level supervisory roles to Constable, Fire Fighter and Warder positions.
Candidates who meet the eligibility conditions will have to apply online through the board's official portal, tgprb.in. No offline or postal applications will be entertained.
This is the detail most aspirants are searching for right now, and the honest answer is that it is not out yet. The board has not released the application schedule along with the notification. As per the official notification, the exact dates for submission of online application forms will be communicated separately through a press release.
In practical terms, that means candidates should keep monitoring tgprb.in rather than relying on unverified dates circulating on social media and messaging groups. Registration windows for TSLPRB drives typically run for a few weeks once opened, so preparing documents in advance is sensible.
Here is the complete post-wise vacancy distribution for Telangana Police Recruitment 2026:
| Post | Vacancies |
| Sub Inspector (Civil) | 148 |
| Reserve Sub Inspector (AR) | 14 |
| Reserve Sub Inspector (TGSP) | 12 |
| Reserve Sub Inspector (SARCPL) | 3 |
| Assistant Sub Inspector (FPB) | 23 |
| Police Constable (Civil) | 3,697 |
| Police Constable (AR) | 1,052 |
| Police Constable (SARCPL) | 24 |
| Police Constable (Driver) (PTO) | 20 |
| Police Constable (Mechanic) | 7 |
| Special Protection Force (Sub Inspector) | 44 |
| Special Protection Force (Constable) | 1,380 |
| Station Fire Officer | 39 |
| Fire Fighter | 751 |
| Deputy Jailor (Men) | 14 |
| Deputy Jailor (Women) | 1 |
| Warder (Male) | 196 |
| Warder (Female) | 12 |
| Total | 7,437 |
Reading the table closely tells you where the competition will be heaviest and where the openings are widest. Police Constable (Civil) alone carries 3,697 posts — very nearly half the entire drive. Add Police Constable (AR) at 1,052 and SPF Constable at 1,380, and the three categories together account for more than 6,100 of the 7,437 vacancies.
At the officer entry level, Sub Inspector (Civil) has been notified for 148 posts, with SPF Sub Inspector at 44 and the various Reserve Sub Inspector categories adding another 29 between them.
The Fire, Disaster Response, Emergency and Civil Defence department contributes 790 posts — 751 Fire Fighter and 39 Station Fire Officer positions. The Prisons and Correctional Services department has notified 223 posts across Deputy Jailor and Warder categories, including 12 Warder (Female) and one Deputy Jailor (Women) position.
One instruction in the notification deserves more attention than it usually gets. TSLPRB has advised candidates to undergo a medical examination by a Civil Surgeon before applying, to confirm that they meet the prescribed physical and medical standards.
The board's reasoning is straightforward. Uniformed services recruitment involves physical measurement tests, physical efficiency tests and detailed medical screening at later stages. Candidates who discover only at the final stage that they fall short of a height, chest, vision or general medical standard end up losing months of preparation. A pre-application check-up, the board says, helps aspirants avoid disappointment later in the recruitment process.
Telangana Police Recruitment 2026 Documents Required
Candidates should keep the following documents ready for uploading during the online application process and for verification at any stage of the recruitment:
SC Community Certificate — latest certificate for SC candidates local to Telangana only, clearly indicating sub-classification as SC Group I, SC Group II or SC Group III, issued by the competent authority of the Government of Telangana.
EWS Certificate — latest Economically Weaker Section certificate for EWS candidates local to Telangana only, issued by the competent authority of the Government of Telangana on or after April 1, 2026.
Non-Creamy Layer Certificate — latest certificate for BC candidates local to Telangana only, issued by the competent authority of the Government of Telangana on or after April 1, 2026.
Local candidature documents — for candidates local to Telangana only, including Bonafide Certificates for Classes 1 to 7 or Residence Certificates, whichever is applicable.
Special category certificates — wherever applicable, for candidates local to Telangana only.
A point worth noting: the EWS and Non-Creamy Layer certificates must carry an issue date on or after April 1, 2026. Certificates issued before that cut-off will not serve the purpose, so candidates in these categories should begin the process of obtaining fresh certificates from the competent authority without waiting for the application window to open.
Once the application window opens, candidates can follow these steps:
Visit the official TSLPRB website, tgprb.in.
Open the Telangana Police Recruitment 2026 notification link on the homepage.
Read the detailed notification for the post you intend to apply for, including eligibility and physical standards.
Register using a valid mobile number and email ID.
Fill in the online application form with personal, educational and category details.
Upload scanned copies of the required documents, photograph and signature in the prescribed format.
Pay the application fee through the available online payment modes.
Submit the form and download a copy of the confirmed application for records.
What Candidates Should Do Right Now
With the schedule still pending, the useful window is the one before applications open. Aspirants can use it to read the detailed notification for their target post, arrange category and local candidature certificates, complete the advised medical check-up, and begin physical preparation for the measurement and efficiency tests that follow the written stage.
