Karnataka Police CPC 1:5 List 2026 – Latest Update

The Karnataka State Police Recruitment Wing has released the district/unit-wise PST/PET Eligibility List for candidates shortlisted from the written examination for the Civil Police Constable (CPC) Recruitment 2026.

The shortlist has been published separately for the RPC/NKK 3,395-post recruitment and the Kalyana Karnataka (KK) 596-post recruitment.

The official recruitment portal currently lists 24 RPC/NKK district/unit links and 8 KK district/unit links for checking the respective lists.

The official portal confirms that the 3,395-post RPC recruitment is Notification 02/RECT-4/2026-27, while the 596-post KK recruitment is Notification 01/RECT-4/2026-27.

What Does the CPC 1:5 List Mean?

The 1:5 list is the shortlist prepared after the written examination.

In simple terms, candidates are shortlisted for the physical stage based on their written examination performance and the applicable category/unit-wise vacancies.

For example:

1 vacancy → up to 5 candidates can be called for the physical stage.

Therefore, the theoretical maximum based on the advertised vacancies is:

• RPC: 3,395 × 5 = 16,975
• KK: 596 × 5 = 2,980
• Combined: 3,991 × 5 = 19,955

However, candidates should not assume that exactly five candidates will appear for every vacancy, because the actual shortlisting is governed by category, reservation, unit and recruitment rules.

The important point is that being included in the 1:5 list means the candidate has been shortlisted for the next physical stage.

The 1:5 list is therefore a very important stage.

The broad sequence is:

Candidates should carefully watch the official portal for the PST/PET schedule, venue, date and call-letter instructions.

What Should Shortlisted Candidates Do Now?

If your name/application number appears in the 1:5 list, do not treat this as final selection.

It means you have been shortlisted for the next physical stage.

Candidates should immediately:

1. Download/save their eligibility list.
2. Check their application number carefully.
3. Watch for the PST/PET date.
4. Check the physical test venue.
5. Keep original documents ready.
6. Start/continue physical preparation.
7. Follow the official KSP instructions.
8. Carry the required call letter and documents to the physical test.

The physical stage is extremely important because candidates must satisfy the prescribed standards.

Important Documents to Keep Ready

Candidates should keep their original documents and copies ready for subsequent stages, including as applicable:

• SSLC/10th marks card
• PUC/12th marks card
• Aadhaar or valid ID
• Caste certificate
• Income/caste-income certificate where applicable
• Rural certificate, if claimed
• Kannada Medium certificate, if applicable
• 371(J) certificate for eligible KK candidates

Is the 1:5 List the Final Selection List?

No.

This is one of the most important points candidates should understand.

The 1:5 PST/PET Eligibility List is a shortlist for the physical stage.

It does not mean that the candidate has been finally selected as a Civil Police Constable.

Candidates still have to successfully complete the subsequent stages prescribed by KSP, including physical requirements and other applicable verification/medical procedures.

CPC 1:5 List 2026 – District-Wise Update

The official portal has made it much easier for candidates because the lists are divided according to district/unit rather than forcing candidates to search through one massive document.

For RPC/NKK, there are 24 district/unit links, while KK has 8 district/unit links.

This means candidates should select the correct unit carefully before checking their name.

For example, a candidate under Bengaluru City should check the Bengaluru City list, while a candidate under Hassan should check the Hassan District list.
