const int *p vs. int const *p – Is const after the type acceptable?

The most important thing is consistency. If there aren’t any coding guidelines for this, then pick one and stick with it. But, if your team already has a de facto standard, don’t change it!

That said, I think by far the more common is

const int * i;
int * const j;

because most people write

const int n;

instead of

int const n;

A side note — an easy way to read pointer constness is to read the declaration starting at the right.

const int * i; // pointer to an int that is const
int * const j; // constant pointer to a (non-const) int
int const * aLessPopularWay; // pointer to a const int
