Telangana Police Prohibition Constable Syllabus

Same shape as the Board’s other constable tests in 2022: a Preliminary Written Test, physical tests, then a Final Written Examination. Each paper was objective, 200 questions and 200 marks in 3 hours, in English, Telugu and Urdu.

Merit was fixed by the final paper alone. All of this is from 2022.

Intermediate standard in both papers, objective, with no prescribed textbook.

• English (set in English only, in every language version)
• Arithmetic
• General Science
• History of India, Indian culture and the National Movement
• Principles of Geography, Indian Geography, Polity and Economy
• Current events, national and international
• Test of Reasoning and Mental Ability

Both papers had a Telangana section. The final one also had a personality section on ethics, gender sensitivity, social awareness and emotional intelligence.

From the 2022 notification; a new one may differ:

• Education: Intermediate or equivalent by 1 July 2022.
• Age: 18 to 22 on 1 July 2022, raised by 3 years for uniformed services, with 5 more for SC, ST, BC and EWS, service-based relaxation for Government staff and 3 years plus service for ex-servicemen.
• Gender: open to men and women.
• Eyes: 6/6 distant and 0/5 near vision in each eye; colour blindness and squint disqualify. No driving licence was asked for.

After the preliminary, candidates ran 1,600 metres (men, 7:15; ex-servicemen 9:30) or 800 metres (women, 5:20). Height followed: 167.6 cm for men, 152.5 cm for women, with 160 and 150 cm for Scheduled Tribes of the listed Agency districts. Last came long jump (4 m men, 2.5 m women) and shot put (6 m and 4 m). The final paper ranked the qualified, then certificates and medical fitness were checked.

95 per cent of the vacancies in each contiguous district cadre went to its locals. The 614 posts were divided over seven cadres and by community.

The 2022 pay scale was ₹24,280 to ₹72,850.

Online only on the Board’s portal, with a mobile number as login. The 2022 fee was ₹800 (₹400 for SC and ST candidates local to Telangana). Applying for several Board posts in the same window brought a ₹100 rebate on each extra post (₹50 for SC and ST).

No new dates exist. The 2022 notification was dated 28 April, with applications from 2 to 20 May of that year. A fresh one appears on the Board’s site only after the Government clears the vacancies, so there is no regular month to expect. See the Board’s notices page.

Work on arithmetic, reasoning and Telangana general studies, and train for the 1,600 metre run well before any notification. For the current shape of the Board’s tests, read its latest constable notification.
