Question 1

. What is the minimum educational qualification for TS Police Constable?

Accepted Answer

To be eligible for the TS Police Constable position, a candidate must have passed Intermediate or its equivalent examination recognized by the Telangana State Government. This is a mandatory requirement, and candidates must possess the necessary certificates at the time of document verification. If a candidate has a qualification from a different state, it must be officially recognized as equivalent to the Telangana Intermediate standard to be considered valid for this recruitment process.

Question 2

What are the age relaxation rules for reserved categories?

Accepted Answer

In the normal course, the age limit for the TS Police Constable post is 18 to 24 years. However, the Telangana government provides an age relaxation of 5 years for candidates belonging to SC, ST, and OBC (BC) categories. This means the upper age limit for these candidates is extended to 29 years. It is important for candidates to have valid community certificates issued by the competent authority to claim this relaxation during the application and selection stages.

Question 3

Is the Preliminary Written Test marks added to the final merit?

Accepted Answer

No, the Preliminary Written Test for TS Police Constable is purely qualifying in nature. Its primary purpose is to screen candidates for the next stage, which is the Physical Measurement and Efficiency Test. While you must secure the minimum qualifying marks (40% for OC, 35% for BC, and 30% for SC/ST) to proceed, these marks are not added to the Final Written Examination score for the preparation of the final merit list.

Question 4

What happens if I fail the Physical Measurement Test (PMT)?

Accepted Answer

The PMT is a mandatory qualifying stage. If a candidate does not meet the minimum height or chest (for men) and weight (for women) requirements, they are disqualified immediately and will not be allowed to participate in the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) or the Final Written Examination. These standards are non-negotiable as they are essential for the physical demands of police service. It is highly recommended that candidates check their physical measurements against the official standards before applying.

Question 5

What are the visual standards required for selection?

Accepted Answer

The visual standards for TS Police Constable are quite strict to ensure operational efficiency. Candidates must have a distant vision of 6/6 in both the right and left eyes. For near vision, the standard required is 0/5 (Snellen) for both eyes. This is verified during the medical examination stage after the final written test. Candidates with significant vision issues or those not meeting these specific Snellen chart requirements may be found unfit for service.

Question 6

How many events must a candidate qualify for in the PET?

Accepted Answer

For the Physical Efficiency Test, all candidates (Men and Women) must first qualify in the long-distance run (1600 meters for men and 800 meters for women). Once the run is successfully completed within the stipulated time, the candidate must qualify in at least one of the remaining two events, which are the 100 meters run or the Long Jump. Qualifying in the run is compulsory, while the choice is provided for the second event.

Question 7

Is there a weight requirement for female candidates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a specific weight requirement for female aspirants applying for the TS Police Constable post. Female candidates must weigh at least 40 Kgs. This is checked during the Physical Measurement Test (PMT) stage along with the height requirement (minimum 152.5 cm). Candidates failing to meet this minimum weight threshold will be disqualified from the recruitment process, as physical health is a primary criterion for police personnel.

Question 8

What subjects are covered in the TS Police Constable syllabus?

Accepted Answer

The syllabus is comprehensive and includes eight main segments: English, Arithmetic, General Science, History of India (including Indian National Movement), Geography (Principles and Indian/Telangana), Indian Polity and Economy, Current events of national and international importance, Test of Reasoning/Mental Ability, and specific contents pertaining to the State of Telangana. This multi-disciplinary approach ensures that the candidate has a well-rounded knowledge base suitable for public service.

Question 9

Can candidates from other states apply for TS Police Constable?

Accepted Answer

While the exam is primarily for the residents of Telangana, candidates from other states can generally apply under the "Open Category" (OC) or Unreserved quota, provided they meet all the eligibility criteria including education and age. However, they will not be eligible for category-based relaxations (like age or marks) or local reservation benefits. They must refer to the specific "Local Candidate" definitions in the official TSLPRB notification to understand their eligibility status.

Question 10

How should I prepare for the Telangana-specific part of the syllabus?

Accepted Answer

The Telangana-specific section is vital and covers the state's geography, economy, and the history of the Telangana Movement. To prepare for this, aspirants should study official state government publications, Telangana SCERT textbooks, and specialized books on the Telangana Movement. At Sreedhar's CCE, we provide dedicated modules and expert lectures that focus exclusively on these topics, as they often carry significant weight in the General Studies section of the Final Written Exam.
