Why PC Driver Is Excluded from the Latest Age Relaxation

Candidates should note carefully that while the Government of Telangana’s 10 September 2026 Press Note extended the upper age limit by a further 3 years for most Constable and equivalent posts, it explicitly excludes PC Driver from this specific relaxation, meaning PC Driver applicants should calculate their eligibility strictly against the base age limit (21-25 years, plus only the earlier GO 87/122-based relaxations) rather than assuming the newest 3-year extension applies to them.

Understanding the ITI Requirement for PC Mechanic

Since the PC (Mechanic) post requires an ITI Certificate specifically in Auto Electrician, Mechanic Motor Vehicle, Mechanic Diesel, or Fitter trades, alongside SSC qualification, this post is distinctly suited to ITI-trained candidates rather than general Intermediate-pass applicants, distinguishing its eligibility pool from most other TSLPRB Constable posts.

Why Driver Posts Carry Additional Licensing Requirements

Beyond the standard educational qualification, PC (Driver) candidates must also possess the specific valid driving qualifications detailed in the full notification, meaning candidates should verify they hold the correct class of driving license and any required driving test clearances well before the application closes, since this technical qualification is central to the post’s core duties.

About TSLPRB

Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board (TSLPRB), headquartered at DGP Office Complex, Lakdi-ka-pul, Hyderabad, conducts recruitment for Telangana’s Police Department’s technical support cadres, including vehicle maintenance (Mechanic) and transport (Driver) roles essential to police fleet operations across the state.

Why These Technical Constable Posts Complement the Larger PC Civil Drive

Alongside TSLPRB’s much larger Police Constable (Civil) recruitment running concurrently, these smaller Mechanic and Driver post codes fill essential vehicle maintenance and transport support roles within the police fleet, meaning ITI-trained mechanics and licensed drivers interested specifically in a police department career, rather than frontline civil policing duties, should treat this as their dedicated recruitment pathway.

Why Verifying Your Specific Age Eligibility Matters More Here

Given the notable exception carved out for PC Driver in the age relaxation Press Note, candidates interested in either post should double-check which specific age rules apply to their chosen post code before investing time in the application and physical preparation process, since applying under an incorrect assumption about age relaxation could result in later disqualification at the certificate verification stage.

Final Word

Eligible ITI-qualified candidates (for Mechanic) or Intermediate-qualified candidates with valid driving credentials (for Driver) should complete their online application by 16 September 2026, 5:00 PM, carefully verifying their specific age eligibility given the Driver post’s exclusion from the latest age relaxation.
