HSSC Police Constable Recruitment 2026 Form: If you aspire to join the Haryana Police but, for any reason, were unable to apply for the recruitment drive involving 5,500 vacancies, there is excellent news for you. The Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) has decided to reopen the application window for this Police Constable vacancy. The Commission has also issued a related notice on its official website, hssc.gov.in. The application portal will remain open for submissions from March 16 to March 19, 2026, until 11:59 PM.
Specifically, after considering Instruction No. 22/12/2019-1GSIII, dated January 14, 2026, the HSSC has decided to increase the annual family income limit for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) category in Haryana state from ₹6 lakh to ₹8 lakh. Consequently, under this new rule, applications are once again being invited from EWS candidates as well as others. This is why young aspirants are being given another opportunity to fill out the application forms. In addition to the police recruitment, the application process has also been reopened for Group C recruitment drives under Advertisement Nos. 02/2026, 03/2026, and 04/2026.
Eligibility Criteria for Haryana Police Constable Recruitment 2026:
Educational Qualification: Candidates must have passed the Intermediate (12th Grade) examination from a recognized education board. Additionally, candidates must have studied Hindi or Sanskrit up to the 10th-grade level or in their higher education. Furthermore, candidates must have appeared for the Group C Common Eligibility Test (CET) conducted by the Haryana Staff Selection Commission. Shortlisting for the subsequent stages of the recruitment process will be done solely based on the scores obtained in this test.
Age Limit: The minimum age limit for applicants was set at 18 years, with a maximum age limit of 25 years. However, a subsequent announcement granted an age relaxation of 3 years in the upper age limit for candidates across all categories. As a result, the maximum permissible age limit has now been raised to 28 years. Candidates belonging to reserved categories will also be entitled to other age relaxations as per the applicable rules.
