Haryana Staff Selection Commission has released a fresh public notice for the physical stage of several recruitments, including Haryana Police Constable posts under Advertisement No. 01/2026. For the police categories, the notice covers Male Constable (General Duty), Female Constable (General Duty), and Male Constable (Government Railway Police). HSSC has said that the Physical Measurement Test will start tentatively from 15 April 2026 onwards for shortlisted candidates.
Candidates should read this update carefully because the latest notice specifically announces the PMT schedule from 15 April 2026 onwards and says that candidate-wise date, time, and admit card details will be published shortly on the Commission website. The Physical Screening Test remains part of the official selection process after PMT qualification, but the 4 April 2026 public notice does not separately publish a detailed PST calendar for these police constable categories.
Below is a verified, topic-specific summary of what is officially confirmed, what the recruitment advertisement says about PMT and PST standards, how many posts are covered, and which details are still awaited from HSSC.
Latest official update on the HSSC police physical test
HSSC issued a public notice dated 4 April 2026 stating that the Physical Measurement Test of shortlisted candidates for posts under Advertisement No. 01/2026 will be conducted tentatively from 15 April 2026 onwards.
For Haryana Police recruitment, the notice includes three categories under Advt. 01/2026: Category No. 01 Male Constable (General Duty), Category No. 02 Female Constable (General Duty), and Category No. 03 Male Constable (Government Railway Police).
The same notice also mentions some other posts from different advertisements. So candidates applying for Haryana Police Constable should focus only on the police entries listed under Advt. 01/2026.
One important point is that the latest notice specifically announces PMT from 15 April 2026 onwards. PST is part of the selection process after PMT qualification, but the notice does not separately publish a category-wise PST date sheet for these police posts.
HSSC Haryana Police Constable exam schedule 2026
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Notice issued by | Haryana Staff Selection Commission |
| Notice date | 4 April 2026 |
| Stage announced in latest notice | Physical Measurement Test (PMT) |
| PMT start | Tentatively from 15 April 2026 onwards |
| Who will appear | Shortlisted candidates |
| Police categories covered | Cat. No. 01, 02 and 03 under Advt. No. 01/2026 |
| Detailed date and time | To be published shortly by HSSC |
| Admit card link | To be published shortly on the Commission website |
At this stage, candidates should treat 15 April 2026 onwards as the official starting point for the PMT process, not as a single common slot for every candidate.
Posts and vacancies covered under Advt. 01/2026
The constable recruitment advertisement under Advt. No. 01/2026 includes 5500 total posts across three categories.
| Category No. | Post name | Vacancies |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Male Constable (General Duty) | 4500 |
| 02 | Female Constable (General Duty) | 600 |
| 03 | Male Constable (Government Railway Police) | 400 |
| Total | All three categories together | 5500 |
These are the police posts relevant to the present PMT update. Sports quota police posts mentioned in Advt. No. 13/2024 are separate and should not be mixed with the 01/2026 constable recruitment.
Admit card and shortlisted candidate details
HSSC has clearly said that the details of shortlisted candidates, the candidate-wise date and time of PMT, and the link to download admit cards will be published shortly on the Commission website.
That means the latest public notice is only a broad schedule announcement. It is not the final hall ticket or candidate slot notice by itself.
- Visit the HSSC website.
- Open the Public Notice or latest updates section.
- Look for the notice related to PMT for Advt. No. 01/2026.
- Check your category number carefully before downloading any admit card or schedule update.
- Keep visiting the website until the candidate-wise link is activated.
As of now, HSSC has not published the candidate-wise date and time list inside the 4 April 2026 notice itself.
PMT standards for Haryana Police Constable 2026
The advertisement lays down the Physical Measurement Test standards that candidates must meet before moving to the next stage.
| Candidate category | Height | Chest |
|---|---|---|
| Male General Category | 170 cm | 83 cm un-expanded minimum with 4 cm expansion |
| Male eligible reserve categories | 168 cm | 81 cm un-expanded minimum with 4 cm expansion |
| Female General Category | 158 cm | Not applicable |
| Female eligible reserve categories | 156 cm | Not applicable |
The advertisement also says that standard digital measurement devices shall be used to the extent possible so that candidates can read their measurements on a digital display. PMT is qualifying in nature. Candidates who do not meet the prescribed standards are eliminated from further selection.
PST race standards for Haryana Police Constable 2026
Only candidates who qualify the PMT are taken forward to the Physical Screening Test. The advertisement prescribes the following qualifying race standards.
| Candidate | Race distance | Qualifying time |
|---|---|---|
| Male | 2.5 kilometer | 12 minutes |
| Female | 1.0 kilometer | 6 minutes |
| Ex-serviceman | 1.0 kilometer | 5 minutes |
HSSC has also stated that RFID or any other superior and reliable technology may be used to ensure reliability of the physical screening process.
Although many updates describe this as PMT and PST date release, the latest police-specific notice publicly fixes the starting window for PMT. A separate category-wise PST calendar is not independently listed in that notice.
Selection process after PMT and PST
The recruitment process for these constable posts is tied to CET merit and then moves through qualifying physical stages before the written stage.
- HSSC invites candidates on the basis of merit obtained in the Common Eligibility Test.
- Shortlisted candidates appear for PMT.
- Candidates who qualify PMT move to PST.
- Among those who qualify both stages, HSSC shortlists candidates up to ten times the number of advertised posts in each category for the Knowledge Test.
- The Knowledge Test carries 97 percent weightage.
- Additional weightage of up to 3 marks is available for NCC certificate holders in constable recruitment.
The Knowledge Test is objective in nature, bilingual in Hindi and English, and OMR based. The syllabus includes General Studies, General Science, Current Affairs, General Reasoning, Mental Aptitude, Numerical Ability, Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and other relevant fields. The advertisement also states that at least 10 percent questions will relate to basic computer knowledge and at least 20 percent will relate to basic knowledge about Haryana.
Eligibility, age limit and pay scale
For Category No. 01 to 03 under Advt. No. 01/2026, the essential qualification is 10+2 from a recognized education board or institution, along with Hindi or Sanskrit up to Matric standard or higher education. The advertisement also says that no extra weightage will be given for any higher education.
The base age limit mentioned in the advertisement is 18 to 25 years for CET Group C qualified candidates as on 1 January 2026. A later official public notice dated 22 January 2026 granted a one-time three-year relaxation beyond the prescribed respective upper age limits for the categories covered by Advt. No. 01/2026. The advertisement also mentions category-wise age relaxation as per applicable government instructions.
The pay scale for Category No. 01 to 03 is Rs. 21700 under Level 3, Cell 1.
Application timeline and fee details
The recruitment advertisement for these constable posts was published on 1 January 2026. The online application window opened on 11 January 2026 and originally closed on 25 January 2026.
HSSC later issued a public notice extending the closing date for Advt. No. 01/2026 up to 31 January 2026, along with a one-time age relaxation update. After that, another official notice dated 16 March 2026 gave candidates a further opportunity to fill or edit online forms from 16 March to 19 March 2026.
No application fee was required for applying against these posts. The advertisement also said that candidates who had applied earlier against Advt. No. 14/2024 were required to apply afresh under the new recruitment notice.
What is confirmed and what is still awaited
Confirmed by HSSC: PMT for shortlisted candidates in Haryana Police Constable recruitment under Advt. No. 01/2026 is scheduled tentatively from 15 April 2026 onwards. The police categories involved are Male Constable (GD), Female Constable (GD), and Male Constable (GRP). The physical standards and the next-stage PST rules are already part of the recruitment advertisement.
Still awaited from HSSC: the list of shortlisted candidates, candidate-wise PMT date and time, admit card download link, and any separately published detailed PST schedule for these police categories.
So the safest way to read the current update is this: the physical phase has officially started moving, but candidates still need to wait for the individual schedule and admit card release on hssc.gov.in.
