What is the Selection Process for Manipur Police Recruitment 2026?
Selection depends on the post. Most uniformed posts begin with a Physical Efficiency Test (PET), then a written test and a viva-voce. Selected candidates must also pass a medical examination and police verification. Dates for the PET and written test will be notified later. For preparing the paper, see the syllabus and exam pattern page.
| Post | Stages and Marks |
|---|---|
| SI (Male/Civil), Jemadar | PET 20, written test 60 (GK 30, English 30; 90 minutes), viva-voce 20 |
| ASI (Male/Civil), Havildar | PET 20, written test 60 (GK 30, English 30; 90 minutes), viva-voce 20 |
| ASI (Female/Civil) | PET 30, written test 100 (GK 50, English 50; 90 minutes), viva-voce 20 |
| SI (Telecom), SI (Fitter) | Qualifying PET, written test 100 (Science with Physics and Electronics 70, GK 15, English 15), viva-voce 20 |
| Constable (Male/Civil) | PET 40, written test 40 (essay 20, English 10, GK 10), viva-voce 20 |
| Constable (Female/Civil) | PET 40, written test 40 (essay 20, English 10, GK 10), viva-voce 20 |
| Riflemen | PET 40, written test 40 (dictation of 80 words), viva-voce 20 |
| Head Constable (Fitter), Constable (Fitter) | Qualifying PET, written test 100 (technical paper 50, trade proficiency practical 50), viva-voce and personality test 50 |
| Constable Driver | Driving efficiency test 30, viva-voce 20 (5 of these marks for heavy vehicle licence holders) |
| Lower Division Clerk | Written test 150 (English, precis, drafting and essay 100; GK 50), computer practical 50; qualifying 30% in each |
| Follower | Qualifying PET, practical trade test 60, general suitability test or viva-voce 40 |
| Nurse, Ward Attendant, Water Carrier | Mode of examination to be notified later |
The PET for SI and ASI (Male) covers five events worth 4 marks each: 100 m race, broad jump, high jump, 800 m race and push-ups. The minimums are 100 m in 15 seconds, broad jump 3.80 m, high jump 1.20 m and 800 m in 3 minutes. Constable and Riflemen candidates must qualify in all four events (100 m, broad jump, high jump, 800 m) at 10 marks each, and being disqualified in any one event automatically removes you from the written test and viva-voce. For women’s Constable PET the minimums are 100 m in 17.50 seconds, broad jump 3.05 m, shot put 4.50 m and 200 m in 38 seconds. For the SI (Telecom) women’s race, the notice prints the distance and timing inconsistently, so read the PDF closely. For SI (Telecom) and SI (Fitter), failing more than one PET event means you are not considered for the written test. For ASI (Female), failing two or more events, or scoring under 15 marks, has the same result. For Head Constable (Fitter), Constable (Fitter) and Follower, missing any PET minimum means immediate disqualification and loss of candidature.
