TSPSC FBO Eligibility Criteria 2026

Before you start filling the application form, go through the eligibility requirements carefully. Missing even one criterion can get your application rejected.

Educational Qualification Candidates must have passed the Intermediate examination (10+2) or its equivalent from a recognised board or institution. Graduates are also eligible to apply.

Age Limit The minimum age is 18 years and the maximum is 31 years. Age relaxation is available for reserved categories — up to 5 years for SC/ST/BC candidates and up to 10 years for Persons with Disabilities (PwD). The age will be calculated as per the official notification date.

Physical Requirements Since this is a field role in the forest department, physical fitness standards are strict and non-negotiable:

Category	Minimum Height	Chest (Unexpanded–Expanded)
Male	163 cm	84 cm to 89 cm
Female	150 cm	79 cm to 84 cm

Height relaxation is available for specific categories including ST candidates and Gurkhas. Additionally, candidates must have normal eyesight and must not be colour blind.

TSPSC FBO Selection Process 2026

The selection for Forest Beat Officer happens in two stages. Both stages are compulsory and candidates must clear each one to proceed.

Stage 1 – Computer-Based Examination (CBT) This is a written test conducted online in CBT mode. The exam is objective type with two papers, both held on the same day.

Paper	Subject	Questions	Marks	Duration
Paper 1	General Knowledge	100	100	90 Minutes
Paper 2	General Mathematics	100	100	90 Minutes
Total		200	200	180 Minutes

Each correct answer carries 1 mark. Candidates should check whether there is negative marking in the official notification.

Stage 2 – Physical Standard Test (PST) and Physical Efficiency Test (PET) Candidates who qualify the written exam are called for the physical test. There are two parts:

Physical Standard Test (PST) checks your height and chest measurements as listed in the eligibility section above.

Physical Efficiency Test (PET) is a running test:

Category	Distance	Time Limit
Male	25 km	4 Hours
Female	16 km	4 Hours

This is a genuine endurance test, so candidates should start their physical preparation well in advance.

TSPSC FBO Salary 2026

One of the most common questions candidates ask is about the salary, and it is genuinely attractive for a 12th-pass government job. Selected candidates will receive a monthly salary in the range of ₹35,000 to ₹42,000 as per Telangana state government norms. Apart from the basic pay, employees also receive government benefits like DA (Dearness Allowance), HRA (House Rent Allowance), medical benefits, and long-term job security with promotion opportunities within the Forest Department.

TSPSC FBO Syllabus 2026

The written test covers two broad areas — General Knowledge and General Mathematics. While the detailed syllabus will be published in the notification, here is a general idea of what to expect:

General Knowledge typically covers current affairs (state and national), history of Telangana, geography, Indian polity, economy, environment and ecology (highly relevant for a forest department post), and general science.

General Mathematics covers topics like arithmetic, percentage, profit and loss, ratio and proportion, time and work, data interpretation, basic algebra, and mensuration.

Candidates from science or commerce backgrounds may find the maths paper relatively easier, but consistent practice is needed for both sections.

Why Should You Apply for TSPSC FBO 2026?

This is not just another government job. A Forest Beat Officer works directly in the field — patrolling forest areas, protecting wildlife, preventing poaching, and maintaining biodiversity. If you enjoy being outdoors rather than being stuck at a desk, this role suits your personality perfectly. With 1393 vacancies, competition will be tough but the number of seats itself gives many candidates a real chance. Add to that a solid salary, job stability, and the satisfaction of contributing to environmental conservation — it is a role worth working hard for.
