Everything you need to know about the letter to the Station House Officer
It is an official letter addressed to the Station House Officer (SHO) of the local police station requesting security arrangements or police assistance during the examination period — for example bandobast (security cover), crowd control, and prevention of malpractice or disturbances around the examination centre.
The SHO (Station House Officer) is the police officer in charge of a police station, typically an Inspector or Sub-Inspector. For examinations, the SHO of the police station covering the examination centre is requested to arrange security personnel and maintain law and order during the exam days.
All three forms share the same fields but address different authorities. The Letter to SHO requests police security and law-and-order support; the Letter to Thahasildar requests revenue and administrative assistance; and the Letter to Medical Officer requests health services. Choose the form matching the authority you need to write to.
Type the College Code — after 3 characters an autocomplete list of matching colleges appears. When you leave (blur) the field, the code is validated against the college database and the College Name is auto-filled in green, or an error is shown in red if the code is not found. You can manually correct the name if required.
The Mandal Name identifies the administrative mandal in which the college is located. It helps direct the letter to the SHO of the police station serving that area. Enter it in capitals for consistency with the official letter format.
The Exams End Date is the last day of the examination period for which security assistance is requested. The letter references this date so the SHO's office knows how long the requested police bandobast is needed.
The date picker is limited to within 2 months ahead and not earlier than 1 month ago. This reflects the practical window for examination scheduling and prevents accidental selection of dates far outside the current exam session.
