Multi-Stage Selection Process Awaits Candidates
The selection process for Gujarat Police recruitment 2025 is rigorous and involves several stages. Initially, all candidates must clear the Physical Standard Test (PST) and Physical Efficiency Test (PET), which are qualifying in nature. Only those who pass these physical tests will proceed to the next stage.
The subsequent phase is a written examination, the pattern of which differs based on the post applied for. Candidates aspiring for Police Sub-Inspector posts will face both objective and descriptive papers totaling 300 marks. Those applying for Constable and Lokrakshak positions will take a multiple-choice question (MCQ) test comprising 200 questions for 200 marks. Notably, there will be a negative marking of 0.25 marks for each incorrect answer in this test.
Candidates who successfully navigate the written exam will be shortlisted for document verification. For certain posts, an interview may also be conducted as part of the final selection process. Authorities have strictly warned that no applications will be entertained after the tonight's deadline, emphasizing the importance of timely submission.
