How to Join in the Singapen Athiradi Padai in Tamil Nadu?
Singapen Athiradi Padai -The premier women’s safety and empowerment initiative in Tamil Nadu.
Phase 1: Meet the TNUSRB Eligibility Criteria
To join the Tamil Nadu Police force, you must fulfill the primary physical and educational benchmarks managed by TNUSRB:
• For Police Constables (PC): You need a minimum qualification of a 10th-standard (SSLC) pass. The standard age limit is generally between 18 and 26 years (with age relaxations up to 35+ years for reserved categories, transgenders, and destitute widows).
• For Sub-Inspectors (SI): You must hold a Bachelor’s degree from a recognized university. The general age group requirement falls between 20 and 30 years.
• Language Requirement: Fluency in Tamil is mandatory, and you must pass the compulsory Tamil Language Eligibility Test.
Phase 2: Clear the Selection Process
Keep a close watch on the official TNUSRB Recruitment Updates Portal to apply when notifications go live.
The selection includes the following stages:
• Written Examination: Clearing the main exam covering General Knowledge, Psychology, and Tamil proficiency.
• Physical Measurement Test (PMT): Meeting height requirements (e.g., minimum 159 cm for general women category candidates in standard police postings, though specific elite tactical wing guidelines may vary slightly).
• Physical Efficiency Test (PET): Cracking physical events such as running, long jump, or high jump.
• Viva-Voce & Special Marks: Evaluation through personal interview rounds and allocation of bonus points for NCC, NSS, or Sports certificates.
Phase 3: Induction into the Singappen Special Task Force
Once you are fully inducted into the Tamil Nadu Police Department, you can step into the Singapen wing:
• Internal Deputation: The initial phases of this squad were formed by transferring existing highly-qualified female police personnel (spanning ranks from Constables to Sub-Inspectors up to the Inspector General) on an “On Duty” basis.
• Specialized Training: Selected candidates undergo rigorous training in cybercrime handling, swift tactical responses, and emergency rescue operations.
• Command Structure: Once inducted, you will operate under streamlined, direct command setups (such as reporting to City Police Commissioners or the Chief Minister’s direct oversight wing) to circumvent local station delays for faster emergency operation.
