Documents Required for Online Application
TSLPRB has advised candidates to keep the following documents ready for uploading at the time of applying online and during later stages of the selection process:
- Latest SC Community Certificate — for SC candidates local to Telangana only, with sub-classification of SC Group I, SC Group II and SC Group III, issued by the Competent Authority of the Government of Telangana.
- Latest EWS Category Certificate — for EWS candidates local to Telangana only, issued by the Competent Authorities of the Government of Telangana on or after 1 April 2026.
- Latest Non-Creamy Layer Certificate — for BC candidates local to Telangana only, issued by the Competent Authority of the Government of Telangana on or after 1 April 2026.
- Local Candidature Certificates — for candidates local to Telangana only, i.e. Bonafide Certificates from 1st to 7th Class or Residence Certificates, whichever are applicable.
- Special Category Certificates — for candidates local to Telangana only, wherever applicable.
Note: EWS and BC Non-Creamy Layer certificates issued before 1 April 2026 will not be valid. Candidates should apply for fresh certificates well before the application window opens.
Medical Examination Advisory
The Board has issued an important advisory: candidates are advised to get themselves examined by a Civil Surgeon before applying, to confirm that they meet the prescribed Physical and Medical Standards. This is intended to help candidates avoid disappointment at a later stage of the recruitment process, since physical measurement and medical tests form a mandatory part of the selection.
How to Apply for TSLPRB Recruitment 2026

Points to Note
- Read the detailed notification first. The press note only lists vacancies. Age limits, educational qualifications, physical measurement standards, application fee and the selection procedure are specified in the four individual notifications published on tgprb.in.
- One board, four notifications. Candidates eligible for more than one department may need to apply separately as per the conditions laid down in each notification.
- Certificate validity dates matter. The 1 April 2026 cut-off for EWS and BC Non-Creamy Layer certificates is a common reason for rejection.
- Start physical preparation now. Since the application window is yet to open, candidates have a useful window to prepare for the physical efficiency and measurement tests.
