Pending results raise concerns among candidates

Despite completing earlier rounds of recruitment, the LRD constable merit list and training announcement have not been released yet. The PSI merit list from the previous cycle is also still pending. This delay may create confusion among candidates preparing for the new recruitment.

Many youths have expressed frustration over the slow pace of Gujarat Police Recruitment Board’s processes, leading to declining enthusiasm for police recruitment.
