Kolkata, December 30, 2025 — The West Bengal Police Recruitment Board (WBPRB) has officially released the WBP Constable Result 2025 on its website prb.wb.gov.in, marking a key milestone in the recruitment process for constable and lady constable posts.
According to the official announcement, a total of 60,170 candidates have been shortlisted for the next stages: the Physical Measurement Test (PMT) and the Physical Efficiency Test (PET). This result follows the completion of the written examination conducted earlier, and now moving candidates one step closer to joining the West Bengal Police.
The announcement was widely anticipated by aspirants across the state, after months of preparation and waiting. With police jobs being among the most desired government positions, the declaration of the result marks relief and excitement for many, while also beginning intense preparation for the physically demanding next stages.
Understanding the Recruitment Cycle
The West Bengal Police Constable recruitment process is a multi-stage selection designed to evaluate both academic knowledge and physical fitness, ensuring that candidates are capable of handling real-world policing duties. This cycle typically includes:
- Written Examination
- Physical Measurement Test (PMT)
- Physical Efficiency Test (PET)
- Interview / Viva Voce (when applicable)
- Medical Examination
- Final Merit List and Appointment
Each stage is a filter that candidates must pass sequentially to make it to the next. The written exam assesses basic general knowledge, reasoning, mathematics and language skills, while PMT and PET focus on physical fitness and stamina, critical for a role that often involves rigorous duties.
Result Details and How to Check
Candidates who appeared for the written exam can now check their qualification status through the result list published online. The result has been posted on both the official WBPRB portal prb.wb.gov.in and the West Bengal Police website wbpolice.gov.in.

Physical Tests: What Comes Next
The shortlisted candidates will now enter the next crucial phase of the recruitment:
Physical Measurement Test (PMT)
PMT assesses whether candidates meet the basic physical standards required for the job. These include height, weight and chest measurements (for male candidates), tailored to guidelines set by the WBPRB. Candidates who do not meet the minimum physical criteria may be disqualified at this stage.
Physical Efficiency Test (PET)
Candidates who meet PMT standards must then take the PET, which evaluates endurance, strength, agility and overall fitness. Typical PET exercises can include:
- Running (timed distance runs)
- Long jump
- High jump
These tests are designed not to punish but to ensure candidates have the physical readiness to serve effectively in a demanding environment.
According to the tentative schedule released by WBPRB, PMT and PET are expected to begin from January 8, 2026, with admit cards available starting January 2, 2026. Candidates are urged to visit the portal regularly to download their physical test hall tickets once released.
Document Requirements for Physical Tests
On the day of the PMT/PET, candidates will be required to produce several essential documents, including:
- PMT/PET Admit Card
- Valid photo identity proof (such as Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, etc.)
- Recent passport-size photographs
- Educational Certificates
- Category Certificates (if claiming reservation benefits)
Failure to produce valid documents may lead to disqualification. Therefore, candidates should prepare all required certificates in advance and double-check them before attending the test center.
Scale of Competition and Aspirants’ Response
The sheer number of candidates shortlisted — 60,170 — underscores the high level of participation in this recruitment cycle. Thousands of aspirants participated in the written exam, indicating strong interest in WB Police jobs among youth in West Bengal and neighbouring regions.
For many, just qualifying the written exam represents significant effort after months of study. Now with the physical tests ahead, candidates are faced with the dual challenge of maintaining physical fitness while managing nerves and expectations.
Social media and local forums have been filled with both relief and anxiety in response to the results. Many aspirants have already started sharing fitness routines and preparation tips online, reflecting a community that is highly focused and competitive. The physical stage often becomes a crucial determinant in final selections, especially for those who may have just edged through the written phase.
Insights: Challenges and Preparation Strategies
1. Physical Readiness Matters
While the written exam tests academic ability, the PMT and PET assess physical capability — an equally important aspect of policing work. Candidates who perform well in textbooks but are underprepared physically may find this stage challenging. Early physical training, including running, strength exercises and flexibility drills, can significantly improve performance.
2. Mental Preparation is Key
The transition from written exam success to physical challenge can be mentally demanding. Candidates should focus on both resilience and realistic goal-setting as they prepare for PMT and PET. Support groups and peer networks can be helpful for motivation.
3. Administrative Vigilance
Aside from physical tests, candidates should ensure all their paperwork is in order. Errors in documentation or late downloads of admit cards have been common issues in past cycles. Early action in organizing documents and checking schedules can prevent avoidable setbacks.
4. Competitive Landscape
Recruitment for police positions across India has become more competitive over the years, with larger applicant pools and tougher benchmarks. Preparation strategies that integrate written review, fitness training, and schedule planning have become standard for aspirants. Compared to other states — for example, the recent Tamil Nadu Police Constable recruitment where fewer than 20,000 were shortlisted — West Bengal’s numbers indicate both high participation and a relatively broad selection for physical tests.
Looking Ahead: Final Stages and Appointment
After successful completion of PMT and PET, candidates may be required to go through document verification, medical examination, and potentially interviews or viva voce sessions, depending on the recruitment rules. Only those who clear all phases will be included in the final merit list and recommended for appointment to constable and lady constable positions.
Recruitment board officials have advised patience and careful attention to official portals for updates on schedules, guidelines, and instructions, as these can change based on logistical considerations or unforeseen administrative adjustments.
Conclusion
The release of the WBP Constable Result 2025 and the shortlisting of 60,170 candidates is a significant development for thousands of job aspirants across West Bengal. With the written exam behind them, the focus now shifts to preparation for physically demanding stages that will test endurance, strength, and commitment.
Aspiring police officers must now balance physical preparation with careful administrative readiness to maximize their chance of success. As they move forward, the resilience and focus built during this process could serve them well in future careers in law enforcement.
