SARKARI RESULT Latest Govt Jobs, Results & Admit Cards 2026

APSSB Special Recruitment Drive for Uniformed Services Combined Examination 2026 is one of the biggest state-level police and uniformed service recruitments released by the Arunachal Pradesh Staff Selection Board in recent months. Through Advertisement No. 04/2026 dated 13 March 2026, APSSB has invited online applications for 984 Group C uniformed service vacancies. The recruitment covers multiple posts, namely Constable Band (IRBn), Constable Bugler (IRBn), Constable (IRBn), Constable Civil Police (Female), Constable Civil Police (Male), Fireman and Special Tiger Guard under STPF. Because many users search this drive with terms like constable recruitment, fireman vacancy or tiger guard recruitment, it is important that the page clearly explains that this is a combined examination with post-wise age, physical and stage differences rather than a single uniform vacancy.

The most important headline fact is the total vacancy number. APSSB has notified 984 vacancies under this special drive. Public summaries supported by the official notice structure show the broad post-wise distribution as 44 Constable Band (IRBn), 2 Constable Bugler (IRBn), 236 Constable IRBn, 170 Constable Civil Police (Female), 216 Constable Civil Police (Male), 73 Fireman and 243 Special Tiger Guard under STPF. The official advertisement also states that 67 vacancies are reserved for Ex-Servicemen. This kind of post-wise breakup should be shown in the overview table because users often want to know immediately whether the vacancy strength is concentrated in police constable posts or spread evenly across all cadres.

The online application process starts on 23 March 2026 at 11:00 AM and ends on 10 April 2026 at 03:00 PM. The tentative written examination date is 10 May 2026, while the PET, PST and Trade Test are scheduled tentatively from 25 May 2026 onwards. APSSB has clearly stated that only online applications will be accepted and applications received through any other mode will be summarily rejected. That means your page should not use mixed wording such as apply online / offline available soon. The correct presentation is fully online, with no alternative submission mode.

The educational requirement is comparatively simple but the physical eligibility is not. For these posts, the basic educational requirement is generally Class 10 pass from a recognised board, with specific additional practical requirement for Band and Bugler posts. For example, Constable Band (IRBn) requires knowledge in playing band, while Constable Bugler (IRBn) requires knowledge in playing bugle. Other posts such as Constable IRBn, Civil Police, Fireman and Special Tiger Guard rely primarily on Class 10 qualification plus physical, vision and medical fitness conditions. This is why a high-quality job page should not stop at only 10th pass eligible. It should also tell candidates that passing qualification alone is not enough; they must also meet post-specific physical standards and stage requirements.

The age rules are divided by post group. For post codes 5/26, 6/26, 7/26, 8/26 and 9/26 - that is, Constable Band, Constable Bugler, Constable IRBn and Constable Civil Police posts - the age limit is 18 to 22 years. For post codes 10/26 and 11/26 - Fireman and Special Tiger Guard under STPF - the age limit is 18 to 32 years. The official notice also mentions 5 years upper age relaxation for APST candidates. In addition, the recruitment contains a one-time age relaxation provision for certain earlier examination candidates as referred to in the official notice and Annexure-1. This is a major reason why the age section should be written carefully and not merged into one incorrect blanket line.

The selection process is also more technical than a normal written-test-only recruitment. APSSB has stated that the scheme of examination consists of Stage-I, Stage-II and Stage-III for post codes 5/26 to 10/26, and Stage-I and Stage-II for post code 11/26. In practical terms, candidates first face the objective written examination. Candidates shortlisted from the written exam then have to appear for PST / PET / Trade Test as applicable. The official scheme further clarifies that all candidates for post codes 5/26 to 11/26 have to qualify PST and PET, while Trade Test is applicable to Constable Band and Constable Bugler posts. The Medical Fitness Test is applicable to post codes 5/26 to 10/26. APSSB has also stated that the written exam merit determines shortlisting, while PST, PET, Trade Test and Medical Fitness are qualifying in nature. Final merit is based on the written examination, subject to qualifying later stages and meeting preference conditions.

This is a very user-important detail because many candidates wrongly assume that PET performance or trade ability increases final marks. The official scheme shows otherwise. Candidates must first score adequately in the written paper, then qualify the physical and trade stages wherever applicable. APSSB has also indicated that the shortlisted candidate pool for Stage-II can be drawn in a ratio based on written exam performance. The written paper requires serious preparation because even candidates with excellent physical performance cannot move ahead without clearing the written stage.

The official notice also gives useful operational details for applicants. Examination fee is Rs. 150 for APST candidates and Rs. 200 for unreserved candidates, to be paid online only. The age and qualification eligibility is to be reckoned as on the closing date of application, i.e. 10 April 2026. The official notice lists examination centres across the state, and candidates are asked to choose preferences carefully because change requests later are generally not entertained. The notification also requires candidates to carry valid photo identity proof at the exam stage. These details are often missing on thin copy-paste pages, but they are exactly the type of practical instructions users need.

Physical standards and tests vary by post and gender, so the best style for the page is to explain this without overloading the reader. Constable and Fireman posts include running, long jump, high jump and related physical standards; Fireman also includes task-specific test items; Special Tiger Guard includes endurance-based outdoor criteria and separate male / female measurement standards. Vision and medical standards are also specified. Because these conditions are critical, serious aspirants should always read the official PDF before submitting the form, even if your website provides a clean summary.

Overall, this recruitment should be presented as a proper uniformed services examination page, not just another short headline. The updated SQL below keeps the slug unchanged, rewrites the content in a more original and user-friendly way, and structures the vacancy table in a format that is much easier for applicants to read on the UI.
