The West Bengal Police Recruitment Board (WBPRB) on October 12, 2026, announced the results of the preliminary written test for the recruitment of Constables and Lady Constables in Kolkata Police under the 2024 recruitment process. Candidates who appeared for the examination can access their results on the official websites of WBPRB, West Bengal Police, and Kolkata Police.

This declaration marks a significant step in the recruitment cycle, with qualified candidates now preparing for the subsequent Physical Measurement Test (PMT) and Physical Efficiency Test (PET), which are slated to begin on October 28, 2026. The recruitment drive initially aimed to fill 3,734 vacancies, comprising 3,464 positions for male constables and 270 for lady constables, though a later report indicated 3,954 vacancies (3,624 constables and 330 lady constables).

Accessing Results and Admit Cards for Physical Tests

Candidates can check their preliminary written test results by entering their application serial number and date of birth, and by selecting their permanent district or state on the designated recruitment portal. The WBPRB has also announced that admit cards for the upcoming Physical Measurement Test (PMT) and Physical Efficiency Test (PET) will be available for download from October 15, 2026. These admit cards can be obtained from wbprb.applythrunet.co.in.

A printed copy of the admit card is mandatory for entry to the PMT and PET venues. Candidates are advised to download their admit cards well in advance and verify all details, including reporting time and venue, to ensure a smooth process. The recruitment board has emphasized that any attempt to influence the selection process through canvassing or intermediaries during the PMT and PET may lead to the cancellation of candidature, as selection is strictly based on merit.
