TGPRB ASI Fingerprint Recruitment 2026

TGPRB ASI Fingerprint Recruitment 2026: Overview

Telangana Police Recruitment Board (TGPRB) is recruiting Stipendiary Cadet Trainee Assistant Sub Inspectors for the Fingerprint Bureau in the Telangana Police Department. This is a technical police role for graduates from computer science, information technology and related computing streams, linking digital systems with fingerprint-record work. The posts form a contiguous zonal cadre across Telangana, so your local-candidature documents and zone preferences matter alongside your performance. Appointment to the regular post follows successful institutional training, making the training period an essential part of the recruitment rather than a separate short-term engagement.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Cadre and local reservation: the posts are distributed across the Kaleshwaram, Basara, Rajanna, Bhadradri, Yadadri, Charminar and Jogulamba zones. Local-candidate reservation operates within the notified contiguous zonal cadres, and the relevant study or residence proof must support the claim.
• Women reservation: the notification applies horizontal reservation for women within the respective community categories. If a suitable woman is unavailable in a category, the post may be filled according to the recruitment rules stated in the notice.
• Provisional candidature: admission to a test or inclusion in a merit list does not by itself guarantee appointment. Original certificates, antecedents and medical fitness are checked before the selection becomes final.
• Technical qualification cut-off: your qualifying degree or provisional certificate must have been issued by the notification cut-off. A certificate produced after the designated verification stage will not cure an eligibility gap.
• Training and appointment: selected trainees become eligible for appointment to the regular post only after completing induction training successfully. A stipend fixed by the state government applies during institutional training.
• Medical fitness: police medical standards apply in addition to the physical events. The notification specifically checks vision, colour perception and general physical fitness, with referral to designated government hospitals where expert opinion is needed.
• Final merit: the English paper is qualifying, while merit comes from the arithmetic-reasoning and technical papers. There is no separate preliminary written test for this technical ASI post.
• No waiting list: the Board treats the notified selection list as final. A post that later falls vacant because a selected person does not join, fails medical checks or loses provisional selection is not automatically offered to the next person.
• Pension coverage: appointees come under the Contributory Pension Scheme applicable to Telangana employees appointed after the state-notified cut-off.
• Board updates: vacancy distribution is tentative, and TGPRB may issue changes during the process. You should rely on the official recruitment portal and notice PDF for any revised instruction.
