According to the official notice, the heavy vehicle (HMV) driving efficiency test for eligible HMV licence holder candidates related to the Driver Constable recruitment advertisement could not be organised on 7, 8 and 9 September 2026. The reason cited by the Board is heavy rainfall and waterlogging at the HMV test venue on those dates, which made it unsafe or impractical to conduct the test.
The Board has confirmed that the rescheduled HMV driving efficiency test for all affected roll numbers will be held on 15 September 2026 (Tuesday). Candidates have been divided into three reporting batches based on their roll numbers, as shown below.
| Reporting Time | Applicable Roll Number Range (as per notice) |

| 11:00 AM (Purvahan) | Roll numbers listed at serial numbers 83 to 125 in the official table |
Candidates should note that the reporting time given against their roll number in the table above is fixed, and they are expected to reach the exam venue by that time on 15 September 2026. The notice does not mention any relaxation for late reporting, so candidates are advised to plan their travel keeping the reporting time in mind.
