Overview of the AP Police Constable Recruitment 2025

The AP Police Constable Recruitment 2025 is a highly competitive process aimed at selecting eligible candidates for 6,100 constable positions, offering a stable government job with opportunities for career growth in the Andhra Pradesh Police Department. The selection process comprises multiple stages designed to assess candidates’ academic knowledge, physical fitness, and eligibility:

1. Preliminary Written Test: A computer-based exam with 200 objective questions for 200 marks, serving as a qualifying round. Marks from this stage do not contribute to the final merit list.
2. Physical Measurement Test (PMT): Evaluates candidates’ physical standards, such as height, chest measurements (for men), and weight, to ensure compliance with the required criteria.
3. Physical Efficiency Test (PET): Tests physical endurance through events like running, long jump, and other activities, with specific requirements for Police Constable (Civil) and APSP posts.
4. Final Written Test (FWT): A 200-mark objective exam conducted on June 1, 2025, across five centers (Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, Guntur, Kurnool, and Tirupati). This stage is critical for final selection, with marks determining the merit list for Constable (Civil) posts and contributing significantly for APSP posts alongside PET performance.

Next Steps After Final Scorecard Release

For the 33,921 candidates who qualified in the FWT, the next stage is Document Verification, a critical step to confirm eligibility before final selection. Here’s what candidates need to know about the upcoming steps:

1. Document Verification Round

The document verification phase ensures that candidates meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the official notification, including educational qualifications, age, nationality, and category-based relaxations. Candidates must prepare the following documents (originals and photocopies) for verification:

• Educational Certificates: 12th-grade certificate or equivalent, as candidates must have passed 12th grade from a recognized board to be eligible.
• Age Proof: Birth certificate or 10th-grade certificate indicating date of birth. The general age limit is 18–24 years, with relaxations for reserved categories (e.g., SC/ST, OBC).
• Category Certificate: For candidates claiming reservations (e.g., SC, ST, OBC, or other reserved categories), a valid caste certificate issued by a competent authority.
• Domicile Certificate: Proof of local candidature for Andhra Pradesh, as applicable.
• Identity Proof: Aadhaar card, PAN card, or other government-issued ID.
• Medical Fitness Certificate: To confirm compliance with medical standards (e.g., no color blindness or significant eye morbidity).
• Other Documents: Any additional certificates, such as those for ex-servicemen or other special categories, as specified in the notification.

The AP SLPRB will announce the schedule and venues for document verification soon on the official website. Candidates are advised to regularly check https://slprb.ap.gov.in for updates. Failure to produce required documents or discrepancies in credentials may lead to disqualification.

2. Medical Test

Following document verification, candidates may be required to undergo a medical examination to ensure they meet the physical and medical standards for police constable duties. Key requirements include:

• Vision: Full and clear vision in both eyes, with no color blindness or significant eye morbidity.
• General Health: Candidates must be free from physical conditions that could hinder police duties, such as chronic illnesses or disabilities incompatible with the role.

The medical test details, including dates and designated centers, will be communicated by the AP SLPRB alongside the document verification schedule.

3. Final Merit List and Selection

The final merit list will be prepared based on:

• Police Constable (Civil): FWT marks alone.
• Police Constable (APSP): A combination of FWT marks and PET performance.

In cases where candidates score identical marks, the older candidate will be prioritized. The merit list will determine the final selection for the 6,100 vacancies, with category-wise cut-off marks influencing the outcome. The cut-off marks vary annually based on factors like exam difficulty, number of candidates, and reservation policies. For reference, the expected qualifying marks are approximately 40% for General, 35% for OBC, and 30% for SC/ST candidates, though official cut-offs will be confirmed with the merit list.

The AP SLPRB will publish the final merit list on its website, listing the roll numbers of selected candidates. Those selected will proceed to the appointment phase, which may include training at designated police academies.

4. Beware of Fraudulent Offers

The AP SLPRB has issued a warning against fraudulent job offers and touts promising guaranteed selection. Candidates should rely solely on official communications from the SLPRB and avoid unofficial channels. All recruitment activities are conducted transparently through recognized institutions, aligning with the board’s motto of “Transparency through Technology.”
