The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police ran one of the province’s biggest recruitment drives of 2026 — thousands of Constable (BPS-07) posts for men and women, handled transparently through the Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency (ETEA). Right now, in mid-October 2026, that recruitment is in its final stages: written tests are being held 12–17 October 2026 and provisional merit lists are already appearing on ETEA’s website. This guide gives you the complete 2026 picture — the eligibility criteria, physical standards, test syllabus, and the full selection process — so you’re ready for the next round.
KPK Police 2026 Recruitment Status (as of October 2026)
- Post: Constable (BPS-07) — male and female, across KPK districts
- Testing agency: ETEA (Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency)
- Advertised: early 2026 in the Daily Mashriq and on etea.edu.pk
- Applications: online through etea.edu.pk — now closed
- Current stage: physical tests done; written tests 12–17 October 2026; provisional merit lists being published district-wise on ETEA’s website
If you applied, your roll number slip, test schedule, and results are all on etea.edu.pk. If you missed this round, the criteria below are the actual 2026 criteria — they barely change between intakes, so this guide doubles as your preparation manual for the next announcement.
Why KPK Police Constable Is Worth It
A constable’s job in the KP Police is one of the most sought-after government posts in the province: a permanent BPS-07 appointment, government pay with allowances, free medical facilities, uniform and training at the Police Training College, and a clear promotion path (Constable → Head Constable → ASI and beyond through departmental exams). For matric-pass youth in KPK, it’s the most accessible route into a respected, pensionable career.
Eligibility Criteria (2026 Recruitment)
- Education: minimum Matric from a recognized board for general candidates; Middle pass accepted for minorities and merged-district candidates
- Age: 18–25 years for general candidates; 18–30 years for merged districts
- Domicile: valid Khyber Pakhtunkhwa domicile (including merged districts) — non-KPK domiciles are not eligible
- Gender: both male and female candidates
- Application fee: around Rs. 600, payable via Easypaisa or JazzCash
Physical Standards & Physical Test
The physical stage comes first and eliminates the most candidates. The 2026 standards:
- Height (male): minimum 5 ft 7 in
- Height (female): minimum 5 ft 1 in
- Chest (male only): 33 × 34½ inches
- Running (male): 1 mile in 7 minutes
- Running (female): 1 km in 7 minutes
Only candidates who clear the physical measurements, the run, and the initial medical move on to the written test. Start running now — the 7-minute mile is the single biggest filter in the whole process, and it’s entirely trainable in 8–12 weeks.
Written Test Syllabus (ETEA)
ETEA’s written test is pitched at Matric level and covers:
- English
- Urdu
- Islamiyat (Ethics for non-Muslim candidates)
- Pakistan Studies
- General Knowledge
- Mathematics
Your matric textbooks are the syllabus. Candidates who do well typically revise the 9th–10th class English grammar, basic math (percentages, ratios, algebra basics), and a general-knowledge question bank of Pakistan affairs and current events.
The Full Selection Process
- Online application: register at etea.edu.pk with your mobile number and email, fill in personal/educational/CNIC details, upload photo, CNIC copy, certificates, and domicile, pay the fee via Easypaisa/JazzCash, and print your form.
- Physical test: height, chest, running, and general physical fitness, followed by a medical examination.
- Written test: ETEA’s MCQ paper on the syllabus above.
- Psychological assessment: shortlisted candidates are assessed for mental aptitude for police work.
- Interview: final interview stage for top candidates.
- Merit list & appointment: ETEA publishes provisional and final merit lists (district-wise, on etea.edu.pk); appointments follow on merit.
ETEA runs the whole process with biometric verification and standardized testing, which is why this recruitment is considered one of the fairest in the province. Keep your registered mobile number active — ETEA communicates test dates and venues by SMS.
Salaries & Benefits (What We Can Say Honestly)
We couldn’t verify official 2026 constable salary figures from two independent sources, so we won’t quote numbers. What is well-established: KPK Police constables are provincial government employees on the BPS-07 pay scale with the standard allowances, annual increments, free medical facilities, and pension on retirement. Salaries follow government pay scales — the security of the appointment, not the starting figure, is why competition is so fierce.
Preparation Tips for the Next Round
- Start running today. The physical test is pass/fail and comes first. A 7-minute mile is achievable for most healthy young men with 2–3 months of training.
- Revise matric books — not guides, not academies’ notes. ETEA’s paper is built from the board syllabus.
- Practice MCQs under time pressure. ETEA papers reward speed as much as knowledge.
- Get your documents ready now: CNIC, KPK domicile, matric certificate, and recent photos. Don’t discover an expired CNIC the week applications open.
- Apply on day one. The portal gets hammered near the deadline; early applicants avoid the crash.
- Never pay an agent. ETEA recruitment is merit-based and biometric-verified. Anyone promising a constable seat for money is running a scam — report them.
