Punjab Police Constable 2026 vacancy details

Category-wise and gender-wise distribution of these posts is given in the official advertisement on punjabpolice.gov.in.

Punjab Police Constable cut-off 2026

Candidates are shortlisted for the physical stage category-wise and cadre-wise based on CBT marks. The cut-off depends on:

• The number of posts in each cadre and category.
• The number of candidates who appeared and their performance across shifts.
• Normalisation of marks, since the CBT ran across a full month.
• Minimum qualifying marks prescribed in the recruitment rules and advertisement.

Check the official cut-off notice on the website for the exact figures for your category. Avoid relying on unofficial “expected cut-off” lists — the official notice is the only reliable source.

Punjab Police PST and PMT 2026: what to expect

Candidates shortlisted on the basis of the CBT are called for the Physical Screening Test and Physical Measurement Test. Reports place the physical stage in the second half of October 2026, and some report the venue as the PAP Complex, Jalandhar — but the official schedule and call letters on punjabpolice.gov.in are the final word. Download your call letter as soon as it is available and note the date, reporting time and venue.

Physical Screening Test (PST)

The PST is a qualifying test of physical efficiency. It generally includes running and other events such as long jump and high jump, with separate standards for men, women and ex-servicemen as prescribed in the advertisement. Candidates must clear every event within the prescribed time or distance. Read the exact events and standards for your category in the official notice.

Physical Measurement Test (PMT)

The PMT checks height and, for male candidates, chest measurements as per the standards in the advertisement. Relaxations, where applicable, are specified in the notice. Candidates who do not meet the measurement standards are not considered further.

Documents to carry for PST / PMT and verification

• PST/PMT call letter / admit card
• Original photo identity proof (Aadhaar, Voter ID, PAN, passport or driving licence)
• Printout of the online application form
• Matriculation certificate (date of birth proof) and Class 12 / qualification certificates as required
• Punjab residence / domicile certificate, if required by the advertisement
• Category certificates (SC, BC, EWS, ex-serviceman, sportsperson, etc.) in the prescribed Punjab Government format
• Certificate of having passed Punjabi at the level required by the advertisement
• Recent passport-size photographs matching the application
• NOC from employer, if already in government service

Always follow the exact list given in the call letter. Missing or invalid documents can lead to rejection.

Selection process after the result

How to prepare for the physical test in the next few weeks

• Running: practise at the exact distance prescribed for your category, three to four times a week, with one long slow run and interval training on the other days.
• Jumps: practise long jump and high jump technique with proper warm-up; technique matters as much as strength.
• Recovery: sleep well, eat enough protein and stay hydrated. Avoid starting a completely new heavy routine just days before the test.
• Injury prevention: warm up and stretch every time; an injury now can cost you the test.
• Measurement: get your height and chest measured accurately in advance so there are no surprises.

Why your marks may be normalised

The Constable CBT ran in many shifts over a whole month, so question papers in different shifts could not be exactly equal in difficulty. Recruiting bodies that run multi-shift CBTs normally convert raw scores into normalised scores using a published statistical method, so that candidates from tougher and easier shifts can be compared fairly. If your scorecard shows marks that are slightly different from your own calculation, this is the most likely reason. Shortlisting and cut-offs are applied on the marks shown in the official scorecard.

Training and career after selection

Candidates who are finally selected as Constables undergo basic training at a Punjab Police training institution, covering law, police procedures, physical training, weapon handling, drill, first aid and community policing. After training, District Cadre Constables are posted to police stations and units in districts, while Armed Cadre Constables serve in armed battalions. Promotions to Head Constable and higher ranks follow the departmental rules and examinations of Punjab Police. The pay level, allowances and probation conditions are specified in the advertisement and Punjab Government rules.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Checking only one cadre’s list when you applied for both.
• Reaching the PST/PMT venue late or without the call letter.
• Carrying category or domicile certificates in the wrong format.
• Trusting social media messages about schedules instead of the official website.
• Over-training in the last few days and getting injured.

If you are not shortlisted

Compare your score with the official category-wise cut-off. Note which sections pulled your score down — general awareness, reasoning, quantitative aptitude, Punjabi language or digital literacy, as per the CBT pattern in your advertisement. Punjab Police and other state forces conduct recruitments regularly, so use this result to plan your next attempt. Practise speed and accuracy with timed tests in our free mock test section.
