The KPPSC Sub Inspector Written Exam Schedule 2027 is for eligible in-service police personnel applying under the Fast Track Promotion process, particularly serving Assistant Sub Inspectors (ASIs) who meet the prescribed conditions. It is not an open recruitment examination for ordinary members of the public. The relevant advertisement is KPPSC Advertisement No. 05/2026, Serial No. 2, for Sub Inspector of Police (BPS-14).
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Service Commission (KPPSC) has listed the Sub Inspector written examination schedule on its official website. However, the official schedule PDF could not be retrieved in readable form during our research. The paper dates, subjects and timings reported by secondary sources therefore require confirmation from the original notice before candidates rely on them.
This guide explains the verified advertisement details, the reported examination schedule, eligibility conditions and the official sources candidates should check for updates. PakistanSchemes.pk is an independent information website, not an official KPPSC or government website.

KPPSC Sub Inspector Date Sheet 2027
A secondary education website published a paper-by-paper schedule reporting that the written examinations will run from 26 January to 4 February 2027. It lists eight papers during that period.
The following table reproduces the reported dates and subjects for reference. It is not an independently verified official date sheet. The original KPPSC PDF could not be read during our research, and the ProPakistani report mentioned in some preliminary research was not independently retrieved.
| Reported date | Reported paper or subject | Verification status |
|---|---|---|
| 26 January 2027 | Selected parts of major acts | Not verified against the official PDF |
| 27 January 2027 | Local and special laws, police laws and rules | Not verified against the official PDF |
| 28 January 2027 | Case-file preparation, practical | Not verified against the official PDF |
| 29 January 2027 | PPW, forensic science and medical jurisprudence | Not verified against the official PDF |
| 1 February 2027 | Intelligence, surveillance and security | Not verified against the official PDF |
| 2 February 2027 | English composition and comprehension | Not verified against the official PDF |
| 3 February 2027 | Computer literacy | Not verified against the official PDF |
| 4 February 2027 | Pakistan Affairs/general knowledge | Not verified against the official PDF |
Candidates should compare this information with the actual notice linked from the official KPPSC schedule listing. If the commission publishes a revised schedule, the latest official notice should take precedence over dates copied by other websites.
Do not assume that the table above confirms your examination date. Check the official notice before making travel, leave or other arrangements.
Reporting Time and Examination Timings
The secondary schedule report states that candidates should report at 1:00 PM, with papers scheduled from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
These timings have not been independently verified against the official KPPSC schedule PDF. Candidates should not treat them as confirmed examination instructions until they have checked the original notice or their official call letter.
Before travelling to the examination centre, verify:
- The date and reporting time shown in the latest official instructions.
- The examination centre and any location-specific directions.
- The documents explicitly required by KPPSC.
- Any restrictions or entry instructions stated in the official notice.
- Whether KPPSC has issued a revised schedule after the original announcement.
Do not rely on an old screenshot, forwarded message or social media post when the official website may contain a newer notice.
Who Is Eligible for the KPPSC Sub Inspector Examination?
This is a departmental Fast Track Promotion examination. It should not be confused with an open recruitment advertisement inviting members of the general public to apply directly for Sub Inspector posts.
Eligibility conditions
According to the indexed text of KPPSC Advertisement No. 05/2026, Serial No. 2, the advertised Sub Inspector category includes the following conditions:
- A second-class bachelor’s degree or an equivalent qualification from a recognised university.
- Completion of probation and confirmation in the rank of Assistant Sub Inspector.
- No major penalty during the preceding three years.
- Compliance with the other applicable conditions in the official advertisement.
The advertisement identifies the category as male/female. That description does not remove the service, qualification or disciplinary requirements.
A bachelor’s degree alone does not make a person eligible. A person who is not serving in the relevant police service should not assume that they can sit this examination. Candidates must check the complete advertisement and any applicable departmental requirements to establish their eligibility.
How many Sub Inspector posts are advertised?
Advertisement No. 05/2026 lists 667 Sub Inspector posts, comprising:
| Post category | Number |
|---|---|
| Fresh posts | 223 |
| Leftover posts | 444 |
| Total | 667 |
These figures refer to the Sub Inspector entry under Serial No. 2. They should not be described as a combined total for the DSP, SI and ASI categories.
What about regional allocation?
Candidates should consult the regional or zonal allocation table in the official advertisement to determine which allocation applies to their circumstances. The overall total of 667 posts is supported by the indexed official advertisement text, but the detailed regional figures have not been independently transcribed and reconciled for this guide.
For that reason, this article does not reproduce a region-by-region breakdown that could contain an error. Use the original Advertisement No. 05/2026 PDF for the applicable allocation and conditions.
Why do some reports mention 479 posts?
The figure of 479 relates to an earlier Fast Track Promotion examination cycle. KPPSC’s 2025 newsletter reported 479 Sub Inspector posts for that previous cycle.
For Advertisement No. 05/2026, the listed SI total is 667. The two figures refer to different examination cycles and should not be presented as conflicting vacancy totals for the same advertisement.
How to Check the Official KPPSC Schedule and Call Letter
Candidates should use KPPSC’s own website rather than relying exclusively on third-party date-sheet articles.
Step 1: Open the official schedule listing
Visit: https://www.kppsc.gov.pk/schedule?p=23
Look for the entry identifying the written examination for Sub Inspector under Fast Track Promotion, Advertisement No. 05/2026, Serial No. 2.
Step 2: Open the linked schedule document
Use the PDF link attached to the relevant schedule entry. Check the examination dates, paper titles, reporting time, paper timings and any additional instructions.
The PDF was not readable during our research, so its individual paper details remain unverified here. This does not mean the PDF is unavailable to every visitor; candidates should try opening it directly through KPPSC’s website.
Step 3: Check candidate-specific information
KPPSC provides an E-Letters service on its official website. Use the commission’s own candidate services to check whether the relevant call letter or examination instructions are available.
No specific call-letter release date has been verified for this examination. Do not assume that slips will be released a fixed number of days before the paper unless KPPSC confirms it.
Step 4: Check for revisions before the examination
Return to the official schedule page before travelling. If the commission publishes a new notice or revised date sheet, follow the latest applicable official instructions.
What Does the Governor’s Earlier Directive Mean?
A report published by Tribal News Network (TNN English) on 16 October 2026 stated that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi had directed the provincial public service commission to hold police examinations before January 2027.
The report also stated that officials had informed the meeting that DSP and Sub Inspector Fast Track Promotion examinations were scheduled for January 2027. This creates an apparent timing tension between the reported directive and the later schedule information.
What is known?
- TNN English reported the directive on 16 October 2026.
- The report described an intention to hold the relevant police examinations before January 2027.
- KPPSC subsequently listed a Sub Inspector Fast Track Promotion schedule on its website, with the homepage recording a schedule alert on 26 October 2026.
What is not known?
The available evidence does not establish whether the directive was formally implemented, withdrawn or superseded. The official schedule PDF could not be read during our research, so the reported dates of 26 January to 4 February 2027 cannot be conclusively validated against that document here.
The Governor’s reported directive should not automatically be treated as a cancellation of the later schedule. Equally, readers should not assume that the timing discrepancy has been formally resolved.
The safest approach is to check the latest official KPPSC notice and follow any subsequent revision published by the commission.
General Preparation Pointers for Candidates
Until candidates have checked the official schedule and applicable syllabus, preparation should focus on established departmental study materials and general skills relevant to the reported paper areas.
| Reported subject area | General preparation advice |
|---|---|
| Major laws | Review the applicable legal texts and approved departmental study materials. |
| Local and special laws | Organise revision around the laws and police rules included in the official syllabus. |
| Case-file preparation | Practise accurate and orderly documentation using authorised training materials. |
| PPW, forensics and medical jurisprudence | Review established study resources for these areas after confirming the official paper title. |
| Intelligence and surveillance | Revise relevant authorised training material and departmental procedures. |
| English composition and comprehension | Practise comprehension, grammar, sentence formation and concise writing. |
| Computer literacy | Review basic computer skills and commonly used office applications covered by your approved materials. |
| Pakistan Affairs/general knowledge | Use reliable reference material and current-affairs resources, guided by the official syllabus. |
These are general preparation pointers, not a replacement for the official syllabus. The paper names above are reported by a secondary schedule page and have not been independently confirmed against the current schedule PDF.
Avoid relying on unofficial claims about marks, passing thresholds or paper weightings unless they are supported by the applicable official syllabus or notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I take the KPPSC Sub Inspector examination if I am not serving in the police?
This examination is listed under the Fast Track Promotion process. The advertisement requires confirmation in the rank of Assistant Sub Inspector, along with other conditions. A person who is not serving in the relevant police service should not assume they are eligible.

Start with the official KPPSC schedule listing. Find the Sub Inspector Fast Track Promotion entry under Advertisement No. 05/2026, Serial No. 2, and open the linked document.
3. Have the examination dates changed?
A change cannot be confirmed from the research available for this guide. The official PDF could not be read, and no verified revised date sheet was established. Check the latest notice directly on KPPSC’s website before relying on the reported dates.
4. What should I bring to the examination centre?
Follow the document and entry requirements stated in your official call letter and examination instructions. This guide has not independently verified the exact document checklist for the current examination, so candidates should not rely on an unofficial list.
5. How many SI posts are listed in Advertisement No. 05/2026?
The advertisement lists 667 Sub Inspector posts, comprising 223 fresh and 444 leftover posts. The 479 figure found in older reporting relates to an earlier examination cycle.
6. When will the roll-number slip be available?
A confirmed release date has not been established in this research. Check the official KPPSC website and its candidate services for current information rather than relying on an estimated release date.
7. Are the reported eight paper dates officially confirmed?
They have been reported by a secondary website, but they have not been independently verified against the original KPPSC schedule PDF. Candidates should check the official notice before making arrangements.
Beware of Fake KPPSC Exam Updates and Agents
Candidates should be careful when dealing with people or websites claiming to offer special access to KPPSC examination information.
- Do not pay an unofficial agent who promises a call letter, a changed examination date, selection or a guaranteed result.
- Do not trust an SMS or social media message claiming that the examination has been rescheduled unless the information can be confirmed through KPPSC.
- Do not share passwords, verification codes or sensitive account information with an intermediary claiming to represent the commission.
- Do not rely on unofficial fee or payment instructions. Follow a payment request only if it is explicitly supported by an applicable official KPPSC process.
- Verify examination dates, eligibility and candidate instructions directly on the official website.
A copied date sheet or a message using a government logo does not, by itself, establish that the information is genuine.
