Beginning on February 11, the process is expected to last until the third week of March.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Zone) Venkat Reddy, who is in charge of the event, said 31,178 candidates, selected in the preliminary test conducted by the State Level Police Recruitment Board (SLPRB) earlier, will take part in the tests.
