Three more years, 7,437 police vacancies
Reports say Telangana has added three years to the age relaxation for constable and equivalent posts, while the recruitment board keeps applications open until September 16.
The reported age relaxation comes as applications for 7,437 police vacancies remain open until September 16.
Telangana’s police aspirants may have three more years to try for constable and equivalent posts, according to reports citing G.O.Ms.No.129 dated September 9, 2026. The reported relaxation takes the existing seven-year concession to 10 years and covers Police, Fire Services, Prisons and Special Protection Force recruitment through the Telangana Police Recruitment Board.
The reported reasoning is simple enough: the Home Department’s upper-age limits are said to be 32 years for Sub-Inspectors and 29 years for constables. The order reportedly does not cover Police Constable Driver posts. The government has not publicly placed the order’s full text on an accessible official repository, so the precise revised ceilings, age cut-off date and coverage of each notification still need confirmation.
The board’s website lists 7,437 vacancies for Police Recruitment 2026 and says applications remain open until September 16. It is a useful opening for candidates who were previously aged out—provided the paperwork catches up with the announcement.
