Punjab Police Jobs 2026: Eligibility Criteria
To apply for these constable posts, candidates must meet the following conditions. There is no relaxation in height, chest, qualification or age limits, except age relaxation admissible under government rules for specified quota categories.
- Domicile: Only candidates holding a valid domicile and CNIC of Rahim Yar Khan or Rajanpur district can apply. A candidate from Lahore, Multan or any other district is not eligible for this round — the form must be submitted at the police lines of the candidate’s own district.
- Education: Secondary School Certificate (Matriculation) with at least 50 per cent marks from a recognised board. For Rajanpur’s tribal (de-excluded) areas, a matric certificate from a government-recognised board is required.
- Age limit: 18 to 22 years as of 31 October 2026 for settled areas of both districts. For the tribal areas of Rajanpur, the age limit is 18 to 25 years. Driver constable candidates must be 18 to 25 years old (up to 30 in some categories) as of 31 October 2026.
- Driving licence (driver constable only): A valid LTV driving licence with at least two years of driving experience after obtaining the licence. Candidates also face a practical driving test, a mechanical test and a route test.
Physical Standards and Running Test
Physical fitness is a core part of the selection. The measurement standards for settled areas under Punjab Police Jobs 2026 are:
- Male height: minimum 5 feet 7 inches
- Female height: minimum 5 feet 2 inches
- Male chest: minimum 33 x 34.5 inches (with expansion)
- Male running test: 1.6 km in 7 minutes
- Female running test: 1.6 km in 10 minutes
For the tribal areas of Rajanpur, the standards are slightly relaxed: male height minimum 5 feet 5 inches and chest 31 x 32.5 inches. Candidates who fail the physical measurement or the running test are eliminated from the process at this stage, so regular running practice before the test date is strongly advised.
How to Apply for Punjab Police Jobs 2026
