Telangana Raises Constable Recruitment Age Limit To 32 Years
The Telangana government changed the age rule for people applying to become police constables.
Applicants can now be up to 32 years old instead of 29.
This makes the constable age limit the same as the limit for Sub-Inspector jobs.
The change was made because officials found the two limits were different.
It applies to several direct-recruitment posts in police and related services.
These include Fire Services, Prisons and the Special Protection Force.
The rule does not cover Police Constable (Driver) jobs.
Officials said the change will make the eligibility rules more uniform.
The Telangana government raised the upper age limit for Constable recruitment from 29 to 32 years.
The new limit matches the maximum age prescribed for Sub-Inspector recruitment.
The change applies to direct recruitment in Police, Fire Services, Prisons and the Special Protection Force.
The revised rules are conducted through the Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board.
The relaxation does not apply to Police Constable (Driver) posts, while total age relaxation now stands at 10 years.
