Govt allows constables to take SI exam

The state government has decided to allow Gujarat Police constables to appear in the special competitive examination for the post of sub-inspector (SI).

The government spokesperson Jay Narayan Vyas and Minister of State for Energy Saurabh Patel on Wednesday said that till now,only assistant police sub-inspectors and head constables,having spent three years in service,were able to appear for the special competitive examination for the promotion to the post of police sub-inspector (mode-2).

Vyas said,“But now with this decision even the constables,who are on the lowest rank in the police force,would be able to appear for the examination and directly become police sub-inspactors,provided they have spent 15 years in service.”

Gujarat is first state in the country to introduce such a provision. The decision has opened the doors of becoming sub-inspectors for the police constables who are experienced and efficient.
