1 Overview
Police Constable, recruited under the Lokrakshak Dal (LRD) scheme, is one of Gujarat's largest and most popular Class III recruitment drives, run by the Gujarat Home Department through the OJAS portal. The role covers law-and-order duties, traffic management, and community policing across the state.
Selection combines a written objective test with Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST) rounds, so candidates need to prepare for both the exam syllabus and physical fitness benchmarks (running, height, chest measurement) simultaneously.
