Background — About This Recruitment
The Constable to Sub-Inspector (Non-GD)-2025 recruitment was advertised separately across post levels — Sub Inspector (Non-GD), Head Constable (Non-GD), Assistant Sub Inspector (Non-GD), and Constables across various trades — around 21 March 2026, per SSB's own recruitment portal news archive. The online application correction window was opened around 17 April 2026 and the submission deadline was subsequently extended around 20 April 2026. Candidates who cleared that stage are now being called for PET/PST.

Vacancy Details — Flagged, Not Confirmed
This admit-card notice does not itself state a total vacancy count for the Constable to Sub-Inspector (Non-GD)-2025 recruitment. We found conflicting figures across secondary sources while corroborating this notice — one citing roughly 1,194 posts across the Constable/Head Constable/ASI/SI (Non-GD) categories, another citing 58 posts for a differently-scoped SI/ASI advertisement. Since neither figure is confirmed against the original recruitment advertisement, we are not presenting either as fact. Candidates should refer to their individual application/admit card or the official recruitment portal for their specific post and category details.
Posts Covered
This PET/PST cycle covers candidates across Constable, Head Constable, Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI), and Sub Inspector (SI) — Non-GD (Non-General Duty) categories, spanning various technical and non-technical trades. The exact post/trade and category applicable to each candidate is printed on their individual e-admit card.
