What Is the Salary?
The notification gives only the pay levels under ROP 2019 — it does not print monthly basic-pay amounts, so no salary figure is claimed here. The levels are: Level 8 — SI and Jemadar; Level 7 — Nurse; Level 5 — ASI; Level 4 — Havildar, Head Constable (Fitter), LDC; Level 3 — Constable and Riflemen; Level 2 — Follower; Level A — Ward Attendant and Water Carrier.
How Will Candidates Be Selected?
Most uniformed posts will be filled through a Physical Efficiency Test (PET), a written test and a viva-voce, followed by a medical examination and police verification. The SI and ASI (Male) PET covers five events — 100 m race, broad jump, high jump, 800 m race and push-ups. Constable and Riflemen candidates must qualify in all four PET events.
The written-test pattern differs by post — SI/ASI papers test General Knowledge and English, while the Constable paper includes an essay, English and General Knowledge. The LDC selection includes a 150-mark written test and a 50-mark computer practical test. The PET and written-test dates have not been announced yet — this information has not been officially declared so far.

| Employment Exchanges send lists to District SPs | 10 December 2026 |
