We cannot line Karnataka Police Constable up against other exams yet
This does not mean Karnataka Police Constable shares nothing with the exams you are preparing for — only that we have not loaded a chapter-by-chapter syllabus we can compare against, so we will not guess. We compare 0 exams whose official syllabus we have traced to the conducting body, and this one is not among them yet.

How to applyPending verification
- 1Open ksp-recruitment.in and find your notification in the table — check the notification number, the post, and above all the region, because Kalyana Karnataka and Non-Kalyana Karnataka are separate notifications with separate post counts.
- 2Read the notification PDF linked from the Karnataka State Police Recruitment Information page before applying. It is in Kannada and carries the eligibility conditions, the examination scheme and the physical standards; nothing in this record substitutes for it.
- 3Apply within the online registration window printed against your notification, and pay by the last date of payment, which in every 2026-27 notification is one or two days after the registration end date.
- 4Keep the helpline to hand — 080 2294 3346 / 3039, 10.30 AM to 05.30 PM.
FAQsPending verification
Who recruits Karnataka Police Sub-Inspectors and Constables?
The Recruitment Wing of the Karnataka State Police, under the Additional Director-General of Police (Recruitment & Training), Bengaluru. Its portal is ksp-recruitment.in, linked from the Karnataka State Police website at ksp.karnataka.gov.in. For the 2026-27 constable notifications the online application is taken through the Karnataka Examinations Authority portal.
Is ksp-online.in the official site?
No. A request to https://ksp-online.in/ redirected to an unrelated American college news website at the time of research, so the domain is no longer a Karnataka State Police property. Use ksp-recruitment.in, which is the address the Karnataka State Police website itself links to, and never enter personal or payment details on ksp-online.in.
Which police ranks can I apply for directly?
Only two. The Karnataka State Police Recruitment page states that in the Subordinate Police Service, Sub-Inspector of Police is filled by direct recruitment and promotion and Police Constable by direct recruitment, while Police Inspector, Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police and Head Constable are filled by promotion. Above them, the Karnataka State Police Service is filled by direct recruitment through the Karnataka Public Service Commission or by promotion, and the Indian Police Service by the UPSC combined competitive examination or by promotion.
What is open right now?
Six constable-level notifications for 2026-27: Police Constable (Civil) for 596 posts in Kalyana Karnataka and 3395 posts in Non-Kalyana Karnataka, both open to men, women and transgender candidates and to in-service candidates; Armed Police Constable (CAR/DAR) for men, 1421 posts in Non-Kalyana Karnataka and 179 in Kalyana Karnataka; and Special Reserve Police Constable, 1455 posts in Non-Kalyana Karnataka and 859 in Kalyana Karnataka. No Sub-Inspector notification is open.
What are the application dates?
Police Constable (Civil), both regions: online registration 08-06-2026 to 03-07-2026, last date of payment 04-07-2026. Armed Police Constable (CAR/DAR), both regions: 22-06-2026 to 22-07-2026, payment by 24-07-2026. Special Reserve Police Constable, both regions: 13.07.2026 to 10.08.2026, payment by 11.08.2026. These are the dates printed against each notification on the recruitment portal.
What is the age limit, height and educational qualification?
This record does not state them, and that is deliberate. Karnataka prescribes them inside each Kannada notification, and those notifications are scanned image PDFs with no text layer, so they could not be read here. Physical standards decide whether you are eligible at all — read the notification for your own post and region, linked from ksp.karnataka.gov.in, rather than trusting a figure from any secondary source.
Why are there separate notifications for Kalyana Karnataka?
Karnataka advertises its constable vacancies separately for the Kalyana Karnataka (K.K.) region and the Non-Kalyana Karnataka (NKK) region, under different notification numbers with different post counts — for example 01/RECT-4/2026-27 for 596 K.K. posts and 02/RECT-4/2026-27 for 3395 NKK posts. Apply against the correct region.
Who do I contact?
The recruitment portal help line is 080 2294 3346 / 3039, open 10.30 AM to 05.30 PM. The Karnataka State Police Recruitment Information page gives the ADGP (Recruitment & Training) on 22943650 and the DIG (Training & Recruitment) on 22942261, a corruption helpline on 080-22943346, and digprntcid@ksp.gov.in for e-mail complaints about Police Sub Inspector and Police Constable posts.
Final eligibility and dates are always subject to the latest official notification. Content marked “Pending verification” is not presented as verified advice.
