In short: Gujarat Police Bharti 2026 covers 13,591 constable and PSI posts, with online applications having closed on 23 December 2025 and physical tests running January to March 2026. A separate 950-post recruitment for wireless PSI, technical operator and driver posts had its own window from 9 to 29 January 2026. Constables need a 12th pass, PSI needs a degree, and everything is applied for through the OJAS portal.

Frequently asked questions

When does the online form open?

The application window for each recruitment is stated in its own notification. For the 13,591-post recruitment applications closed on 23 December 2025, and the technical and driver recruitment ran from 9 to 29 January 2026.

When is the running test held?

Physical tests for the constable and PSI recruitment are scheduled between January and March 2026. Individual call letters carry the date and venue, so candidates need to check the portal rather than wait for an intimation.

When is the written exam?

The written date follows the completion of the application and physical stages, and is announced separately on the official portal for each recruitment.

What are the height requirements?

Physical standards differ by category and gender, and the exact height, chest and running requirements are published in the notification for the post concerned rather than being uniform across the intake.

Where do you download the notification PDF?

From the official Gujarat Police recruitment pages on OJAS. Copies circulating elsewhere are often from an earlier cycle with different dates and standards.

How competitive is this recruitment?

Very. Even at 13,591 posts, a constable intake open to 12th pass candidates across the state attracts several lakh applications, and the written cut-off rises accordingly.

What should you do next?

Physical preparation is the part that cannot be compressed, so running and endurance work should already be underway if you are in the pipeline for the physical stage. On the written side, weight your revision toward history, culture, geography and current affairs — together they carry 90 of the 200 objective marks.
