TSLPRB Recruitment 2026: 7437 Vacancies Approved for Constable, SI, Warder & Other Posts

In one of Telangana's largest uniformed-services hiring drives of the year, the Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board (TSLPRB) has secured government permission to fill 7,437 vacancies through direct recruitment. The clearance covers Sub-Inspectors, Assistant Sub-Inspectors, Reserve Sub-Inspectors, Police Constables, and equivalent posts spanning the Police Department, the Fire Disaster Response Emergency & Civil Defence Department, the Prisons & Correctional Services Department, and the Special Protection Force (SPF).

The approval was formalised through a press note dated 5th July 2026, with detailed recruitment notifications expected to be issued shortly. Aspirants preparing for a Telangana Police job should treat this as the starting gun — but note that, at this stage, only the vacancy count and departments have been confirmed. Post-wise notifications carrying eligibility, age limits, fees and exam dates will follow once each department finalises its cadre distribution.

Why 7,437 vacancies now? The retirement backlog

The scale of this drive is driven by a manpower gap. Nearly 14,553 police personnel and staff retired between 2024 and early 2026, leaving posts open across constable-to-inspector ranks and prompting the state to authorise a fresh, large-volume intake to shore up law enforcement across Telangana.

TSLPRB Recruitment 2026 – Overview

The board is chaired by TSLPRB Chairman V.V. Srinivasa Rao, who confirmed that detailed recruitment notifications will be released soon, with the government having issued multiple orders between 27 June and 3 July 2026 to approve these vacancies.

TSLPRB Vacancy 2026 – Complete Post-Wise & Department-Wise Breakdown

Here is the full official split as per the press note:

Police Department

Fire Disaster Response Emergency & Civil Defence Department

Prisons & Correctional Services Department

Special Protection Force

Quick-scan angle (the number most aspirants care about): across all departments, the drive offers roughly 6,180 Constable-level posts and about 244 officer-level posts (SI + RSI + ASI). Police Constable (Civil), with 3,697 vacancies, is the single largest post, making this an unusually strong year for 12th-pass candidates.

TSLPRB Selection Process 2026 (Expected)

The exact process will be defined in each post's notification. Based on TSLPRB's earlier cycles for identical posts, candidates can expect a multi-stage funnel:

1. Preliminary Written Test (PWT): Objective questions on General Studies, Arithmetic, Reasoning and Telangana-specific topics.

2. Physical Measurement Test (PMT): Height and chest (where applicable).

3. Physical Efficiency Test (PET): Running and event-based tests. For reference, in recent SI cycles male candidates had to complete 1.6 km within 7 minutes 15 seconds, and female candidates 800 metres within 5 minutes 20 seconds.

4. Final Written Examination: For posts that require it, such as Sub-Inspector.

5. Document Verification & Medical Examination.

For officer posts, the written exam is typically offered in English, Telugu and Urdu, with qualifying marks around 40% for OC, 35% for BC and 30% for SC/ST/Ex-servicemen.

TSLPRB Salary 2026 (Indicative)

While exact pay bands appear in the notification, indicatively pay scales range from around Level 3 (approx. ₹25,000) for Constable to Level 6 (approx. ₹80,000) for Sub-Inspector under the 7th CPC, plus admissible allowances.
