TGPRB Constable Mechanic Driver Recruitment 2026: Overview

Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board (TGPRB) is hiring SCT Police Constable Mechanics and Drivers for the Telangana Police Department's transport work. This is a technical uniformed recruitment meant for men who can keep police vehicles serviceable or drive them safely during routine and operational duty. There is no preliminary written test for these posts; the process begins with physical tests and then moves into a post-specific practical test.

Posts and Disciplines

  • SCT Police Constable Mechanic: workshop and fleet-maintenance work covering engines, brakes, transmission, electrical systems, servicing and roadworthiness checks.
  • SCT Police Constable Driver: safe operational driving, daily vehicle inspection, minor repairs, breakdown response and preventive maintenance.

Post-wise Duties

Police Constable Mechanic

You will inspect police vehicles, diagnose faults and carry out routine repairs under workshop procedures. Engine, brake, clutch, fuel-injection and electrical-system work forms a major part of the trade test and the job itself.

You will also help with fleet readiness and roadworthiness checks, keep service information updated and make sure tools and replaced parts are handled safely. Your work supports vehicles used for patrol, transport and emergency deployment, so careful maintenance matters beyond the workshop.

Police Constable Driver

You will drive police vehicles in varied traffic and road conditions while following lawful signals and operational instructions. Vehicle control, judgment, parking, reversing and safe use of brakes are assessed in the practical test.

You will carry out daily and periodic maintenance checks, monitor dashboard instruments and fuel use, and handle minor faults such as punctures, fan-belt problems or air locks. The role needs both confident driving and enough mechanical knowledge to keep a vehicle safe until workshop support is available.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Men-only recruitment: both technical posts are open only to male candidates under the notified service rules.
  • Technical proof: Mechanic applicants need the accepted ITI trade certificate, while Driver applicants need the prescribed academic route and a valid heavy or transport-vehicle licence.
  • Licence validity: the Driver's licence must be valid on the notification date and remain valid when the driving test is held.
  • Statewide merit: local-cadre provisions do not control final selection for these two posts, although Telangana local status is needed to claim state reservation benefits.
  • Training: selected SCT candidates receive the government-fixed stipend during institutional training and enter the regular post after successful completion.
  • Medical fitness: appointment depends on the prescribed eyesight, health and medical checks in addition to the physical test.
  • No retest on demand: the Board does not allow postponement or reconsideration of the scheduled physical and practical stages.
  • Tentative strength: TGPRB may revise the notified post distribution while recruitment is underway.

Corrigenda and Notices

  • Supplementary notice: TGPRB published a follow-up notice for the recruitment cycle. Use the active portal schedule and later Board instructions together with the main technical-post notification.

Responsibilities

  • Inspect police vehicles before duty and report safety or mechanical faults
  • Repair or service engines, brakes, clutches, electrical systems and related parts
  • Drive assigned vehicles safely in routine, emergency and operational conditions
  • Maintain vehicle, fuel, service and repair records accurately
  • Follow traffic rules, workshop safety procedures and departmental discipline
  • Handle minor roadside repairs and support breakdown recovery
  • Keep tools, spares and assigned vehicles ready for deployment
