The India Reserve Battalion (IRB) has announced recruitment for 2,000 General Duty (GD) Constable posts, opening the door to a uniformed government career for thousands of 10th and 12th pass candidates.

How to Apply Online
Candidates need to register on the official APSSB portal (apssb.nic.in), fill in personal and educational details, upload the required documents, and pay the application fee before the last date. Physical fitness preparation should ideally begin well before applying, since the physical efficiency test is a major screening stage.
Selection Process
Selection generally involves a Physical Efficiency Test (PET), Physical Standard Test (PST), a written examination, and a final medical examination. Candidates who start combining physical training with written exam preparation early tend to clear each stage far more comfortably.
