Expert Tips – How to Increase Your Selection Chances
As a career consultant specializing in police recruitment across Pakistan, here is my proven advice for GB Police 2026:
Apply early – within first 10 days.
Online portals often crash near the last date. Early applicants also receive earlier roll number slips and better test center choices (Gilgit vs. Skardu vs. Hunza).
Over-prepare for running – under-promise.
Most candidates fail the running test. Train to complete 1.6 km in 6 minutes 30 seconds, not 7 minutes. The buffer saves you on test-day nerves.
Choose “Anywhere in GB” as your posting preference.
If you restrict yourself to only Gilgit or Skardu, your merit ranking drops. Selecting “willing to serve anywhere” increases your selection chance by 40%.
Get a medical certificate before the physical test.
Even though not officially required, bring a fitness certificate from a GB government hospital (Heart, lungs, BP checked). This impresses the medical officer and speeds up your clearance.
Learn basic English tenses for the written test.
Most matric-level candidates lose marks on English. Spend 2 hours learning: Present Indefinite, Past Indefinite, and Future Indefinite. That alone will get you 10-12 correct MCQs.
For Lady Constable applicants – practice running with a hijab/dupatta.
During the actual physical test, you must maintain modesty. Train in the same attire you will wear on test day to avoid discomfort.
Mention if you speak Shina, Burushaski, or Wakhi.
GB Police values local language skills. During the interview, fluently stating “I speak Shina and Urdu” adds 5 extra marks.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can a candidate from Punjab or KP apply for GB Police?
No. GB Police jobs are strictly for domicile holders of Gilgit-Baltistan. Only GB residents (with CNIC having GB district codes 71xxx to 75xxx) are eligible.
Is there a quota for retired army personnel?
Yes. 5% of Constable and ASI vacancies are reserved for retired armed forces personnel (under 35 years of age) with an honorable discharge certificate.
What is the height relaxation for candidates from Hunza or Ghizer?
No official height relaxation. However, candidates from high-altitude areas (Hunza, Ghizer, Astore) are given priority in the interview if physical standards are borderline (e.g., 5 feet 5.5 inches instead of 5 feet 6 inches).
Can I apply for both Constable and ASI?
Yes, but you must submit two separate online applications and pay two separate fees. You cannot use one form for two posts.
When will the physical test be held?
Expected in August 2026 (exact date on roll number slip). Tests will be held simultaneously in Gilgit, Skardu, and Hunza.
Is there any written test for Driver Constable?
Yes, but it is shorter (50 MCQs on traffic rules, road signs, and general knowledge). Passing marks are 33%.
What happens if I fail the physical test?
You are disqualified from the entire process. No second chance in the same recruitment drive. You may reapply next year.
