Dantewada Police Bastar Fighter Constable Recruitment 2026: 128 Posts, Offline Form, Last Date 12 December

The Office of the Superintendent of Police, Dantewada, has opened applications for 128 Bastar Fighter Constable posts. The form window runs from 2 November to 12 December 2026, and the application must REACH the SP office by 12 December — posting it on the last day is not enough.

Read the eligibility trap first, because it rejects more applications than any exam. This recruitment is only for local residents of Dantewada district. A candidate from outside the district cannot apply, however good their marks are. The second trap is the qualification: 10th pass is required, but only if the school was in Chhattisgarh or Madhya Pradesh. The 5th-pass relaxation is not for everyone — it applies only to Scheduled Tribe candidates and to candidates from Naxal-affected families or relief camps. And the age is counted as on 1 January 2026, not on the last date, so check your age against that date before filling the form.

Dantewada Police Vacancy at a Glance

Who Can Apply — and Who Cannot

Candidates who are not Dantewada residents, or who are declared medically unfit, cannot apply. The official notification also lists specific physical standards for height and chest — check those in the notification itself before applying, as this article does not reproduce the full measurement table.

Bonus Marks: The Quiet 35 Marks

This is where many candidates leave marks on the table. Bonus marks are available for certificates held by the last date of application:

• Heavy motor vehicle driving licence: 5 marks
• NCC ‘C’ certificate: 5 marks
• NSS ‘C’ certificate: 5 marks
• Knowledge of the local dialect: 20 marks

The key point is the timing: the certificate must already be held by the last date. A licence or certificate obtained after 12 December will not count. Attach self-attested copies of any bonus-mark certificates with the form.

Selection: Five Stages, 190 Marks Plus Bonus

The PET covers long jump, high jump, shot put, the 100-metre race and the 800-metre race. The written exam is objective-type and covers General Knowledge, Reasoning, Local Geography, Culture and Arithmetic. Fifteen times the number of vacancies will be called for the written exam, so the physical stage is a real filter, not a formality. The final merit list is drawn from PET, written exam, interview and bonus marks together.
