Uttarakhand Police recruitment 2026 notification expected soon for 1,500 posts

The Uttarakhand government is preparing a recruitment proposal for around 1,500 posts across the police and emergency services, with the formal notification expected soon. This initiative aims to fill vacancies in various units, including the Civil Police, Indian Reserve Battalion (IRB), Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS), and Fire Services.

The proposal, which includes approximately 1,480 positions across four units, is currently being finalised at the government level. Once approved, the requisition will be sent to the concerned recruitment agency, likely the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC), which typically publishes such advertisements.

Proposed Vacancies and Candidate Inclusion

The proposed recruitment drive is expected to offer around 1,500 positions, with a detailed breakdown indicating approximately 1,480 posts across specific departments. The final number of posts may be subject to change after the government completes its review. Notably, the proposed recruitment is expected to include women candidates, offering them an opportunity to participate after a gap.

The distribution of proposed vacancies across different departments and units is as follows:

Recruitment Process and Key Details

While the detailed recruitment notification has not yet been released, the application process is anticipated to begin after the official advertisement and online application link are made available. Candidates will need to register through a designated recruitment portal, complete the application form, upload required documents, and pay any prescribed fees.

The selection procedure for the proposed recruitment has not been officially notified. However, it may involve a written examination, Physical Standard Test (PST), Physical Efficiency Test (PET), document verification, and a medical examination. Specific details regarding the application start and closing dates, post-wise vacancy distribution, educational qualifications, age limit, examination schedule, and application fee are currently unavailable and will be released with the formal notification.

Background and Next Steps for Candidates

This proposed recruitment follows a previous large-scale police recruitment advertised by UKSSSC in October 2024 for district police constable and PAC/IRB constable posts. Related police recruitment processes for these previous positions continued through 2026, including document scrutiny and selection-related notices. The Uttarakhand Police, headed by the Director General of Police (DGP), has a mission focused on crime prevention and detection, law and order maintenance, and efficient service delivery.

Candidates are advised to await the official advertisement before submitting any applications or relying on specific eligibility conditions. They should regularly check the official UKSSSC recruitment section for the formal 2026 advertisement and subsequent application updates. The official portals for information are uttarakhandpolice.uk.gov.in and sssc.uk.gov.in.
