The calendar dates were superseded when letter F. No. DE-12/4/2026-DE-DoP dated 23 June 2026 deferred both the notification and the exam, so they are history rather than a plan.

There is no notification and no revised date to work back from, so the two things worth doing now are settling whether you are eligible at all and working on the part of the syllabus that has not moved. Both are cheaper to do before a schedule appears than after.

Letter F. No. DE-12/4/2026-DE-DoP dated 23 June 2026 deferred the notification and the exam for vacancy years 2024 to 2026 on administrative grounds and said a revised schedule would follow in due course. The Calendar of Examinations issued on 30 December 2025 had planned a notification on 25 June 2026, applications closing on 20 July and the exam on 9 August. All three have lapsed. Prepare for readiness at short notice, not for a fixed date.

Get your eligibility settled before the notification lands

The 2024 notification of 21 November 2023 ran two quotas: 19 per cent for IP and ASP officials with five years of regular service in the IP cadre, and 6 per cent for clerical-line officials with five years in Lower Selection Grade or above. The Recruitment Rules notified on 11 November 2024 instead provide for promotion from the Inspector of Posts cadre with eight years at Level 7 plus two weeks of induction training. Which governs the deferred cycle is unsettled, so get your service record verified now.

The pattern was not rewritten the way Inspector Posts was

The Inspector Posts papers were restructured in August 2025; nothing comparable has surfaced for this exam. The syllabus was circulated by letter No. 9-04/2018-SPG-II and reviewed under letter No. 9-40/2021-SPG-II dated 18 August 2022, and the exam held on 4 June 2023 ran to two papers, described in the 2024 notification as OMR based and descriptive wherever applicable. Past papers from that cycle therefore remain a fair instrument to practise against.

The recast results are a live vacancy question

The CAT Ernakulam order of 28 November 2025 in OA No. 194/2023 extended PwBD promotion reservation from 2016-17 onwards. The Department recast PS Group B results for 2017-18 to 2023 by letter F. No. A-34013/01/2026-DE dated 6 August 2026, and published a circle-wise list for 25 shortfall vacancies for 2017-18 drawn from the LDCE held on 29 November 2020. If you sat any of those cycles, reading your circle’s list is worth an hour.
