SLPRB Andhra Pradesh SI, Constable, Fireman & Warder Recruitment 2026 – Apply Online for 2,050 Posts

Vacancies: 2,050 (provisional) · Gender: Mixed; Drivers, Mechanics, SI (SPF) and SI (PTO) are Men only · Posts: 16 designations across 6 notices · Type: Regular Government Service · Mode: Online · Fee: SI/FSL ₹600 (OC/EWS/BC) & ₹300 (SC/ST); Constable/Fireman/Warder ₹300 & ₹150 · Apply: To be notified by press release · Salary: ₹25,220–₹1,30,580 (RPS 2022) · Selection: Prelims (selected posts) + PMT/PET + Final Written / Technical Test · Location: Andhra Pradesh

The State Level Police Recruitment Board, Andhra Pradesh (SLPRB AP) issued six fresh recruitment notices from Mangalagiri on 16 September 2026 for 2,050 provisional posts in Police, Special Protection Force, State Disaster Response and Fire Services, Prisons and Correctional Services, and the Forensic Science Laboratory. Applications will open only on slprb.ap.gov.in after a separate press release.

This cycle sits inside the Government of Andhra Pradesh 2026 job calendar for Home Department cadres. It is not a single combined form. Each Rc. number is a separate notification, so a candidate who wants both Civil SI and Constable (Driver) must track two notices, two fees and two application IDs.

Exact online dates and the Preliminary Written Test calendar are not printed in the 16 September notices. Bookmark the SLPRB recruitments page and treat every figure below as provisional, because the Board has said vacancy numbers can change without further notice.

Who cannot apply (hard filters)

• Women cannot apply for SI (SPF), SI (PTO), Constable (Mechanics) or Constable (Drivers). Those four codes are men-only.
• A candidate without a continuous 2-year LMV licence as on 16 September 2026 cannot apply for Post Code 27.

• Scientific Assistant applicants may choose only one of Post Codes 61, 62 or 63. A second FSL application is a disqualification risk.

Important Dates

No application window is live on 16 September 2026. A last-date countdown does not exist yet.

What Posts Are Available? – Vacancy & Eligibility 2026

PC (Civil) and PC (AR) form the volume block: 827 of the 2,050 seats. Driver (198) and PC (Communications) (200) are the next large technical lanes. SI (SPF) at 9 posts and Constable (Mechanics) at 15 posts are scarce. FSL seats need an M.Sc. in a named stream, so the applicant pool is narrower than the SI Civil degree pool.

Unit-wise and communal break-up for Civil/AR constable seats is printed in Notification 91. Do not reconstruct district totals from secondary tables. Confirm your home unit from the official PDF before assuming a local vacancy.

Sub-Inspector Posts — 438 posts

Forensic Science Laboratory Posts — 43 posts

Constable, Fireman & Warder Posts — 1,156 posts

Constable (Communications) — 200 posts

For Post Code 25, 33⅓% of vacancies in each communal category, including EWS, are reserved horizontally for women. Unfilled women’s seats in a year are filled by men of the same category and are not carried forward.

Constable (Mechanics & Drivers), Men only — 213 posts

Footnote: All 2,050 vacancies are provisional and liable to change. Recognition of any board or university certificate is the candidate’s burden if SLPRB raises a doubt.

What Is the Age Limit?

Age is reckoned as on 01 July 2026. SLPRB does not validate age in the online form. You must check the band yourself.

Relaxation printed in the notices (do not mix this with central +3/+5 thumb rules):

• EWS, BC (Non-Creamy Layer), SC, ST: up to 5 years
• AP State Government employees: up to 5 years, limited to regular service length
• Ex-Servicemen and whole-time NCC Cadet Corps Instructors: 3 years plus service rendered
• Serving local Home Guards (≥360 days in last 2 years): Constable-family upper age 32 years
• Widows / divorced / judicially separated women on PC Civil & allied posts: 42 years (SC/ST) or 37 years (other categories)

Examples (PC Civil / AR general band of 24 years as on 01 July 2026):

✅ A 23-year-old UR candidate born on 02 July 2003 — eligible (within the 24-year limit as on 01 July 2026).

❌ A 25-year-old UR candidate born on 01 July 2001 — not eligible (exceeds maximum age by 1 year).

Use our Age Eligibility Calculator to check instantly.

What Is the Constable and SI Salary in Andhra Pradesh?

Pay is under Andhra Pradesh Revised Pay Scales, 2022, not a central 7th CPC matrix. Figures below are indicative take-home ranges. Actual DA, HRA (station class) and NPS deductions decide the slip.

Claim + proof: ranges use RPS 2022 basic printed in the notices, plus typical Andhra Pradesh dearness and house-rent allowances for district and municipal stations, minus NPS (~10% of pensionable pay) and standard deductions. This is not an official salary slip. Verify from the appointment / pay fixation order.

During SCT institutional training, a stipend fixed by the Government of Andhra Pradesh is payable. That stipend is not the same as the full scale above. After successful training and appointment, the RPS 2022 scale starts.

Uniform, kit, risk and other police allowances follow Home Department orders. Do not treat canteen, quarters or hospital access as guaranteed perks unless your unit allotment letter says so.

What Is the Application Fee?

Fee is paid online and is not refunded if you pay but forget to press Submit. A second application for the same post is dealt with as printed in that notice; only the last valid submitted form is normally considered, and the earlier fee is not transferred.

Each Rc. number is a separate fee event. Applying for SI Civil (Notice 81) and PC Driver (Notice 93) means two payments.

How to Apply?

The application URL is not live as of 16 September 2026. When the press release is issued, use only slprb.ap.gov.in.

1. Open the SLPRB AP recruitments page and download the PDF for your Rc. number.
2. Wait for the Stage-1 online application link on the same portal. Do not use third-party “apply” pages.
3. Register with SSC hall ticket number, mobile and email (the live form will specify the exact ID fields).
4. Fill one form per notification. In a notice that allows multiple post codes, select every code you are eligible for, if the form provides a preference grid.
5. Upload photo and signature in the size the form demands. Use our Photo & Signature Resizer before the portal rejects the file.
6. Pay the category-correct fee and click Submit. Save the application ID and fee receipt.
7. For FSL, submit only one of Codes 61 / 62 / 63.

Suggested (not a notification order): finish Non-Creamy Layer, local / study certificates and driving-licence extracts now, so the live window is only a form-filling exercise.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Paying the fee and leaving the form on Preview. The notice says that the file is rejected and the fee is gone.
• Using a Learner’s licence or a fresh LMV card for Post Code 27. The licence must have been held continuously for two years on 16 September 2026.
• Applying for two FSL post codes because your M.Sc touches both Chemistry and Forensic Science.
• Treating Telangana local certificates as Andhra Pradesh local status after reorganisation. Read the local-candidate clause in your PDF.
• Waiting for “the one combined 2,050-post form.” There is no such form.

ఏపీ ఎస్‌ఎల్‌పీఆర్‌బీ ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్ ఎస్‌ఐ, కానిస్టేబుల్ భర్తీ 2026 – 2,050 పోస్టులకు ఆన్‌లైన్ దరఖాస్తు

ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్ స్టేట్ లెవల్ పోలీస్ రిక్రూట్‌మెంట్ బోర్డు 16 సెప్టెంబర్ 2026న ఆరు నోటిఫికేషన్లు విడుదల చేసింది. మొత్తం 2,050 తాత్కాలిక పోస్టులు పోలీసు, అగ్నిమాపక, జైళ్లు, స్పెషల్ ప్రొటెక్షన్ ఫోర్స్ మరియు ఫోరెన్సిక్ ల్యాబ్ కేడర్లలో ఉన్నాయి. దరఖాస్తు తేదీలు ప్రెస్ నోట్ ద్వారా slprb.ap.gov.inపై ప్రకటిస్తారు.

ఎవరు దరఖాస్తు చేయవచ్చు?

ఇంటర్మీడియట్ ఉన్నవారు కానిస్టేబుల్, ఫైర్‌మెన్, వార్డర్ పోస్టులకు చూడవచ్చు. ఏదైనా డిగ్రీ ఉన్నవారు ఎస్‌ఐ సివిల్ / ఏఆర్ / ఎస్‌పీఎఫ్‌కు అర్హులు. డిప్లొమా లేదా బీటెక్ (ఈసీఈ, ఈఈఈ, సీఎస్‌ఈ, ఐటీ) ఉన్నవారు కమ్యూనికేషన్స్ ఎస్‌ఐకి వెళ్తారు. డ్రైవర్ పోస్టుకు రెండేళ్ల ఎల్‌ఎమ్‌వీ లైసెన్స్ తప్పనిసరి. మెకానిక్, డ్రైవర్, ఎస్‌పీఎఫ్ ఎస్‌ఐ, పీటీఓ ఎస్‌ఐ పోస్టులు పురుషులకు మాత్రమే.

జీతం, వయసు, ఎంపిక ఏమిటి?

కానిస్టేబుల్ స్కేల్ రూ.25,220–80,910. ఎస్‌ఐ / సైంటిఫిక్ అసిస్టెంట్ స్కేల్ రూ.44,570–1,27,480. వయసు 01 జూలై 2026 నాటికి. సివిల్ ఎస్‌ఐకి 21–27 ఏళ్లు, సివిల్ కానిస్టేబుల్‌కు 18–24 ఏళ్లు. ఎంపికలో ప్రిలిమ్స్ (కొన్ని పోస్టులకు), ఎత్తు/ఛాతీ, పరుగు, ఫైనల్ రాత పరీక్ష ఉంటాయి. ఇంటర్వ్యూ ప్రస్తుత నోటిఫికేషన్లలో లేదు.

ఎలా అప్లై చేయాలి?

ఆరు నోటిఫికేషన్లకు వేర్వేరు ఫారాలు. slprb.ap.gov.in తప్ప మరే సైట్‌లోనూ ఫీజు కట్టవద్దు. ఫీజు కట్టి సబ్మిట్ నొక్కకపోతే దరఖాస్తు తిరస్కరణ. అధికారిక సమాచారం slprb.ap.gov.inపైనే చూడండి.

How Are Candidates Selected?

Selection is a chain of stages. Marks alone never equal appointment. Shortlist → physical / trade gates → final written merit → certificates → medical → training.

No interview stage is mentioned in the current notifications. Final merit rests on the written papers (and PET marks where the notice awards them), subject to document verification, medical fitness and the reservation roster.

Path A — SI (Civil / AR / SPF) and PC (Civil / AR), Fireman, Warder

1. Preliminary Written Test (qualifying only; not added to final merit): two objective papers of 100 marks each. Paper on Arithmetic & Reasoning at SSC standard; paper on General Studies at degree standard.
2. Certificate check + Physical Measurement Test (PMT).
3. Physical Efficiency Test (PET): 1600 m run, 100 m run and long jump. Qualifying for Civil SI / Civil PC. Carries 100 marks for AR and SPF posts.
4. Final Written Examination: four papers of three hours each. Paper I English and Paper II Telugu or Urdu are qualifying. Papers III and IV decide merit.
5. Medical examination and joining as a Stipendiary Cadet Trainee.

Path B — SI (Communications) and SI (PTO)

No Preliminary Written Test. Sequence: certificates + PMT → qualifying 1600 m run → three-paper written exam (English 100 qualifying; Arithmetic & Reasoning 100; Technical 200). Merit = Paper II + Paper III = 300 marks.

For the Communications / PTO notice, published 1600 m windows are 10 minutes for men and 12 minutes 30 seconds for women. Confirm the Civil/AR/Fire/Warder timings from Notification 81 and 91 PDFs before you treat those same minutes as universal.

Path C — PC (Communications)

No Prelims. PMT + qualifying 1600 m run + one objective Technical Paper of 200 marks for merit.

Path D — Constables (Mechanics & Drivers)

No Prelims. PMT + qualifying 1600 m run + Trade Test (Mechanics) or Driving Test (Drivers). Each skill test is 100 marks with a 50-mark minimum and is qualifying only. Final merit is a 200-mark objective Technical Paper.

Path E — Scientific Assistant (FSL)

No PET and no Prelims. One objective paper: 120 questions, 120 marks, 2 hours, English only. Then certificate verification. Minimum qualifying marks: OC/EWS 40%, BC 35%, SC/ST 30%.

Use our Physical Standards Calculator against the height band below, then re-check the PDF for chest and agency-area relaxations.

What Are the Physical and Medical Standards?

Uniformed and fire/prison posts require PMT, PET and a medical exam. FSL Scientific Assistant posts do not.

Medical points printed across these notices:

• Distant vision 6/6 in both eyes; near vision 0/5 (Snellen) in both eyes; full field of vision
• No colour blindness, squint, or morbid condition of eye or lids
• No knock knees, pigeon chest, flat feet, varicose veins or hammer toes
• Free from bodily defects that would interfere with outdoor police, fire or prison duty

Exact run timings, long-jump distance and 100 m windows for Civil/AR/Fire/Warder are in the annexures of Notices 81 and 91. Do not train to a guessed time. Read that annexure the day you download the PDF.

Why Does SLPRB Andhra Pradesh Matter?

SLPRB Andhra Pradesh is the statutory recruiting wing of the state Home Department, working from Police Headquarters, Mangalagiri, Amaravati, Guntur district. It fills Stipendiary Cadet Trainee and direct posts for Andhra Pradesh Police, SPF, APSDRF fire units, prisons and the state FSL.

The Board’s process is familiar to every serious AP police aspirant: online form on slprb.ap.gov.in, OMR-style written papers, grounds PET at designated centres, then unit allotment. That pipeline is why candidates search “AP police bharti”, “AP SI notification” and “AP constable vacancy” together.

See more Andhra Pradesh openings on our Andhra Pradesh jobs hub and other uniformed drives under Defence & Police.

Why candidates search this employer

People search SLPRB because a selected SI or Constable becomes a state government police employee with RPS 2022 pay, not a scheme worker. Civil SI work is investigation and station crime duties. AR and SPF work is reserve, escort and protection. Fireman work is disaster and fire-ground response. Warder work is prison security, not a civil-police station posting.

The honest limit: first posting is unit-driven. Night shifts, bandobust and rural stations are normal in the first years. Candidates who want a fixed 10-to-5 desk should look at APPSC ministerial cadres instead of this Home Department drive.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take

The closest tab an AP police aspirant already has open is TSLPRB Telangana Police, not SSC GD. Telangana ran a large multi-department police/fire/prisons online cycle earlier in 2026. TSLPRB is the same family of tests (Prelims for Civil streams, PMT/PET, four-paper finals) but on Andhra Pradesh local rules, RPS 2022 pay and zonal units. Compare process and state cadre, not vacancy headlines from a different Board.

Best fit: Intermediate-pass men and women who can already run 1600 m and want a uniformed AP cadre; degree holders targeting SI Civil; ECE/EEE diploma holders aiming at Communications; and drivers who have held an LMV card since at least September 2024.

Skip this if PET is a non-starter for you, if you need a metro-only first posting in writing, or if you will not accept Fireman or Warder work after ticking those preferences casually. Mechanics at 15 seats is a poor use of a form unless your ITI trade is exact.

Practical tip: Download all six PDFs from the official recruitment page this week and mark one primary notice. Get the Non-Creamy Layer certificate dated on or after 01 April 2026 and start timed 1600 m runs now. The application window will not give you time to repair a licence, a local certificate or your stamina.

Realistic calendar for similar SLPRB cycles: form → Prelims → PET → finals → training often stretches 8–12 months before a unit joining date. Promotion later runs Constable → Head Constable → SI through seniority and departmental tests; SI Civil enters the officer lane earlier but still faces a long SCT academy phase first.

What Documents Are Required?

Keep scans and originals ready before the portal opens:

• SSC marks memo (date of birth)
• Intermediate / diploma / degree / M.Sc / ITI certificates as applicable
• Community, EWS and Non-Creamy Layer (BC) certificates in the AP format; NCL issued on or after 01 April 2026
• Local / study certificates for the zone or district claimed
• LMV driving licence with issue date proving 2-year continuity (Code 27)
• Home Guard service certificate with 360-day count, if claiming the 32-year cap
• Ex-Servicemen / NCC instructor / CPP / widow or divorce documents
• Recent photo and signature matching the live form spec
• Aadhaar and a working mobile/email

Document alert: a licence issued in August 2025 does not satisfy the Driver 2-year rule. A Telangana caste certificate without AP local proof will be treated as non-local for fee and roster.

Serving government employees should keep an NOC ready for document verification or joining. The notices do not say you must upload the NOC on day one of the form.

What Happens After Selection?

1. SLPRB publishes a provisional selection list by post code and category on slprb.ap.gov.in.
2. You attend document verification with originals. A mismatch in local status, licence date or qualification year drops the name.
3. Medical examination at the notified hospital or police hospital. Vision and deformity standards are enforced here, not in the online form.
4. Selected candidates join as Stipendiary Cadet Trainees. Institutional training and field training follow the cadre (police academy, fire training school or prisons academy).
5. On successful completion, appointment is issued on the RPS 2022 scale of that post. Probation and confirmation follow Andhra Pradesh state service rules of the allotted department.
6. First posting is to a district, battalion, fire station, prison or FSL unit in Andhra Pradesh. Preference, if collected, is not a home-district guarantee.

Career line after confirmation is departmental: Constable cadres move through Head Constable and SI promotion tests; SI Civil already sits in the Sub-Inspector rank after SCT. Bond or training-cost recovery, if any, will appear in the appointment/training order. It is not printed as a rupee figure in the extracts used for this article.

FAQs – SLPRB AP Police Recruitment 2026

What is the last date to apply for SLPRB AP Police 2026?

Not announced. The six notices dated 16 September 2026 say the online dates and the Preliminary Written Test will come through a separate press release on slprb.ap.gov.in. Late forms are not accepted once that window closes. Check the recruitments page rather than social-media forwards.

What is the age limit for SLPRB SI and Constable posts?

SI family: 21–27 years as on 01 July 2026. PC Civil/AR/Communications and Mechanics: 18–24. Drivers: 18–27. Fireman and Warder: 18–32. FSL: maximum 44. EWS, BC (NCL), SC and ST get up to five extra years as printed.

Is there an exam for AP Police SI and Constable, or is it interview-based?

Yes, there is a written exam. Civil streams use qualifying Prelims, then PMT/PET, then a Final Written Examination. Communications, PTO, Driver and Mechanic skip Prelims and use a technical paper. FSL uses one 120-mark paper. No interview is mentioned.

What is the salary of an AP Police Constable or SI?

Constable, Fireman and Warder start at basic ₹25,220 (RPS 2022), with indicative in-hand around ₹38,000–₹48,000. SI and FSL start at basic ₹44,570 (SI Communications ₹45,830), with indicative in-hand around ₹65,000–₹76,000. Training stipend is separate and lower.

Can final-year students apply for this recruitment?

Only if the certificate date is on or before 01 July 2026. SC/ST applicants for SI may rely on the printed Intermediate-plus-appeared-for-degree rule. SC/ST applicants for Intermediate-level posts may rely on SSC plus both years of Intermediate appeared. Do not assume a generic “final year allowed” clause.

Is SLPRB AP Constable a permanent government job?

Yes. After SCT training and appointment, you join a regular Andhra Pradesh state cadre post on RPS 2022 pay. It is not NHM contract work. Confirmation still depends on training, medical fitness and probation under state rules.

Can candidates from other states apply for AP Police recruitment?

Yes, as Indian citizens, but they are treated as Open Category for fee, and they do not enjoy Andhra Pradesh local roster advantages. Local certificates and zonal study proofs matter for unit vacancies. Read the local-candidate chapter in your PDF before paying the OC fee.

Where will I be posted if selected?

Inside Andhra Pradesh, in the department of that post code: police district or battalion, SPF unit, fire station, prison or FSL laboratory. First posting is allotment-based. A home-district preference, if collected later, is not a guarantee.

Is Andhra Pradesh domicile compulsory for these police posts?

Not as a total bar on applying. Local status decides fee slab, roster and many unit seats. Non-local candidates pay the OC fee. If you need a reserved local seat in your district, you must prove AP local status as defined in that notice.

Do AP Police Driver posts accept a two-wheeler licence?

No. Post Code 27 needs a valid LMV driving licence held continuously for two years as of 16 September 2026. A motorcycle licence is a different class and does not meet that clause.

What is the salary of a police constable in Andhra Pradesh?

State police constables on RPS 2022 draw a basic salary of ₹25,220 with DA, HRA and duty allowances. Typical take-home discussed for district stations sits in the high ₹30,000s to mid ₹40,000s before overtime. Exact slips vary by station class and NPS.

Is there a physical test for state police jobs in Andhra Pradesh?

Yes for SI, Constable, Fireman and Warder. Height, chest or weight, a 1600 m run and, on Civil/AR notices, 100 m and long jump. FSL Scientific Assistant is the exception: written paper and certificates only.

What are the disadvantages of Andhra Pradesh Police constable duty?

The honest downside is the work pattern, not the pay scale. Night duty, bandobust, rural or battalion posting and a long SCT academy come before a stable station routine. PET also removes a large share of written qualifiers. If you want only desk hours, this cadre will frustrate you.

Final Checklist – Is This the Right Job for You?

• You meet the age and educational criteria as on 01 July 2026 for the exact post code.
• You accept Regular Government Service after SCT training, including shifts and unit posting in Andhra Pradesh.
• You can arrange NCL (after 01 April 2026), local proof, ITI/degree and LMV licence before document verification.
• You are prepared for the hardest gate: PET for uniformed posts, or the 120-mark FSL paper for Scientific Assistant.
• You understand posting is anywhere in Andhra Pradesh in the allotted department, not a promised hometown station.
