Eligibility Criteria Recap

  • Education: Class 12/PUC pass or equivalent from a recognized board (a 3-year Polytechnic Diploma recognized by the technical education department is also accepted as a valid PUC equivalent)
  • Kannada Requirement: Must have studied Kannada as a 1st or 2nd language up to 10th/SSLC, OR must clear the Mandatory Kannada Language Test conducted by KEA
  • Age Limit: 18 to 33 years for general candidates (as on the prescribed cut-off date)
  • Age Relaxation: Up to 45 years for women and reserved-category candidates in certain cases; up to 35 years for SC/ST/Category-1/2A/2B/3A/3B candidates
  • In-Service Applicants: Must have completed at least 5 years of continuous service in specific branches like CAR, DAR, or KSRP by the application closing date, where applicable
  • Medical Standards: Colour blindness is an automatic disqualification condition for field-duty law enforcement roles

Physical Standard Test (PST) & Endurance Test (PET) — What to Expect

  • PST checks minimum Height, Chest (for male candidates), and Weight measurements against the prescribed standards for each category (male/female/transgender) — failing any one measurement leads to immediate disqualification from proceeding to PET
  • PET/Endurance Test includes Running, High Jump, and Shot Put events, all of which must be completed within prescribed time/distance standards
  • Female candidates must complete a 400-metre run in 2 minutes or less as part of the endurance test
  • Both PST and PET are qualifying in nature — candidates either meet the standard and proceed, or are eliminated at this stage
  • Given the competitive shortlist ratio typically applied at this stage, candidates are strongly advised to begin physical conditioning (running, jumping, throwing practice) well before the written exam result, rather than waiting until after

Salary, Training & Career Progression

  • Pay Scale: ₹37,500 – ₹76,100 per month, plus applicable Government of Karnataka allowances and benefits
  • Pension Scheme: All newly appointed constables are covered under the National Pension System (NPS)
  • Training: Selected candidates undergo 9 months of mandatory basic foundational training at a designated Police Training School; candidates who fail during training are removed from service
  • Probation Period: Direct recruits remain on probation for 2 years and 6 months (inclusive of the training period) after appointment

Preparation Strategy for the Upcoming Written Exam (2 August 2026)

  • With 0.25 negative marking and a modest 30-mark qualifying threshold, focus on accuracy over attempting every question blindly — a few careless wrong answers can offset several correct ones
  • Since the exam is bilingual (Kannada & English), decide in advance which language you’ll read faster in under exam pressure, and practice mock tests in that language
  • Cover Current Affairs thoroughly with special focus on Karnataka state-specific developments, government schemes, and recent national events from the past 6–12 months
  • Revise Indian Constitution basics — Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles, and the structure of governance — as this is a consistently high-weightage area in most Indian police constable exams
  • Don’t neglect Reasoning — with only 90 minutes for 100 questions, quick, accurate reasoning practice can save valuable time for tougher GK/Science questions
  • Simultaneously begin PST/PET physical preparation now rather than waiting for the written result, since the physical stages that follow are equally decisive and time-sensitive
