Ladakh Police Constable 2026 — 331 Posts, Apply by 15 Sep

Ladakh Police Constable Recruitment 2026 (331 Posts), Apply Online by 15 September 2026 in Union Territory of Ladakh. The Ladakh Police Subordinate Service Recruitment Board (LPSSRB) has released Advertisement Notification No. 02 of 2026 for direct recruitment to the post of Constable (Level-02), General Cadre, covering Executive, Armed/IRP, SDRF, Women, and Border Battalions. This Ladakh Police government job 2026 opportunity is open to 10th Class/Matriculation-passed candidates aged 18 to 28 years. Eligible candidates who meet the qualification, age, and domicile criteria below could apply online at police.ladakh.gov.in. Ladakh Police, since the Union Territory's creation in 2019, has developed its own subordinate recruitment framework under the LPSSRB, separate from the Jammu & Kashmir Police it was previously administered alongside. The heavy Border Battalion allocation (168 of 331 posts, over half the total) reflects Ladakh's extensive and strategically sensitive frontier with China and Pakistan, requiring dedicated police presence in border villages across districts like Nubra, Changthang, and Kargil, while the domicile-linked eligibility for both Border and Women Battalion posts ensures recruits serving in these sensitive areas have direct local ties and knowledge of the terrain and community. Selected Constables will be posted within the Union Territory of Ladakh, across Executive, Armed/IRP, SDRF, Women, and Border Battalion units, with Border Battalion and Women Battalion postings tied specifically to the candidate's own domicile district. The Ladakh Police 2026 selection process runs through a Physical Standard Test, Physical Endurance Test, document scrutiny, NCC/Desired Qualification incentive assessment, and a 100-mark Written Examination. The post carries Level-02 pay as per the applicable UT of Ladakh pay matrix. Online applications for Ladakh Police Constable 2026 opened on 29 August 2026 and closed on 15 September 2026, a date LPSSRB confirmed via a separate notice as final with no further extension. Application fee was ₹600 for Unreserved/EWS and ₹500 for SC/ST/ALC candidates, payable online only. Candidates should read the complete official LPSSRB notification PDF for full details, since this recruitment closes on an extremely tight timeline and reservation follows an unusual structure with 80% of vacancies reserved for Scheduled Tribe candidates.
