Delhi Police Constable eligibility at a glance
The baseline is the same for men and women — be an Indian citizen, 12th pass, aged 18–25, and meet the physical and medical standards. Men must also hold an LMV driving licence by the PE&MT.
Nationality
The notice sets a single nationality condition, and the recruitment is open across the country:
CAPF personnel cannot apply under the ex-servicemen category. The ex-servicemen reservation is subject to the outcome of pending court cases (Special Leave Petitions) named in the notice.
Age limit
One age band applies to both men and women, counted as on 01.07.2025.
| Age limit | Applies to |
|---|---|
| 18 – 25 years | Constable (Executive) Male and Female, Delhi Police |
| Date of birth | Not earlier than 02.07.2000 and not later than 01.07.2007 |
SSC goes by the date of birth you entered in the form, as recorded in your matriculation/secondary certificate — no later request to change it is considered.
Age relaxation
The full list of relaxations in the notice. Some are extra years on top of 25; others are a fixed upper age limit.

Wards of Delhi Police personnel/MTS who are also SC, ST, OBC or from hill areas get only one relaxation — their category’s or the ward’s, not both. Ward relaxations (age, height/chest, education) apply only if the parent was not dismissed, removed, terminated or compulsorily retired as a penalty. “Departmental candidate” means bandsmen, buglers, mounted constables, dispatch riders, drivers, dog handlers and MTS of Delhi Police. Sons, daughters and dependents of ex-servicemen get no ex-servicemen concession. Every claim needs the prescribed certificate at the PE&MT/document verification.
Educational qualification & driving licence
12th (Senior Secondary) pass from a recognised Board is the requirement, held by the closing date of 21.10.2025. Men also need a driving licence.
Application fee, NCC bonus & RRU marks
Bonus marks are a percentage of the CBE’s maximum of 100. The crucial date is 21.10.2025, the original certificate must be shown at the PE&MT/document verification, and the marks are added only in the final result.

When it counts
Not used for the CBE minimum marks or PE&MT shortlisting — added in the final result after the certificate is verified.
Physical & medical standards
Every shortlisted candidate takes the PE&MT, run by Delhi Police in Delhi. The race comes first; those who clear it take the long jump and then the high jump, each clearable in any one of three chances. Only those who pass the endurance events are measured. There is no appeal against the race or jumps.

| Age | Race · 1600 m | Long jump | High jump |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 30 years | 6 minutes | 14 feet | 3′9″ |

Relaxation is given only if you claimed it in the application form and bring the certificate to the PE&MT. If declared unfit in height or chest, you can appeal the same day to the Appellate Authority at the centre. Women who are pregnant, or have recently delivered or miscarried, are declared temporarily unfit and re-tested six weeks after the confinement period (6 months after delivery, 45 days after a miscarriage), with their vacancy kept in reserve.
