Exam pattern at a glance
Delhi Police Constable 2025 has one written stage — a computer-based exam that decides your merit. The physical test, document verification and medical that follow are qualifying.
Computer-Based Exam pattern
One objective paper in four parts — 100 questions for 100 marks in 90 minutes, at matriculation level. The 2025 CBE ran in many shifts from 18.12.2025 to 06.01.2026, so SSC normalized the scores; the normalized score decides shortlisting and merit.
| Part & subject | Questions | Marks | Per question |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part A · General Knowledge / Current Affairs | 50 | 50 | 1 mark |
| Part B · Reasoning | 25 | 25 | 1 mark |
| Part C · Numerical Ability | 15 | 15 | 1 mark |
| Part D · Computer Fundamentals, MS Excel, MS Word, Communication, Internet, WWW & Web Browsers | 10 | 10 | 1 mark |
| Total · 90 min | 100 | 100 | −0.25 each wrong |
Minimum qualifying marks & bonus marks
To be considered for the PE&MT you must reach a minimum normalized CBE score for your category. Clearing it only makes you eligible — candidates are shortlisted category-wise on merit, at about 12 times the vacancies.
| Category | Minimum CBE marks | Out of 100 |
|---|---|---|
| Unreserved (UR) | 35 | 35% |
| SC / ST / OBC / EWS | 30 | 30% |
| Ex-servicemen (ESM) | 25 | 25% |
NCC certificate bonus
NCC certificate holders get bonus marks as a percentage of the maximum marks. Ex-servicemen cannot claim it.
| Certificate | Bonus | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| NCC ‘C’ certificate | 5% of maximum marks | 5 |
| NCC ‘B’ certificate | 3% of maximum marks | 3 |
| NCC ‘A’ certificate | 2% of maximum marks | 2 |
Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU) additional marks
Candidates with a degree or post-graduate diploma from the Rashtriya Raksha University get additional marks by the class obtained.
| Class in RRU degree / PG diploma | Additional marks | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Distinction | 5% of maximum marks | 5 |
| First class | 4% of maximum marks | 4 |
| Second class | 3% of maximum marks | 3 |
| Pass class | 2% of maximum marks | 2 |
The minimum marks are checked without any bonus. As SSC’s CBE result of 19.06.2026 explains, NCC and RRU marks are added only in the final result, and only for candidates who produce the supporting certificate at the PE&MT/document verification.
PE&MT — Physical Endurance & Measurement Test
Conducted by Delhi Police in Delhi for candidates shortlisted on CBE merit. You run first; only those who clear the race take the long jump and then the high jump, and each jump can be cleared in any one of three chances. Measurement follows for those who pass the endurance events. There is no appeal against the race or jump results.

Female · endurance

How each stage is marked
Only the CBE is scored. Know the penalty for a wrong answer before you decide which questions to attempt.
| Stage | How it counts |
|---|---|
| CBE — correct answer | +1 |
| CBE — wrong answer | −0.25 |
| NCC bonus | +5 / +3 / +2 (C / B / A certificate), added in the final result |
| RRU additional marks | +5 / +4 / +3 / +2 by class, added in the final result |
| PE&MT (race, long jump, high jump, measurement) | Qualifying |
| Document verification | Qualifying |
| Medical examination | Qualifying |
Final merit is drawn from your normalized CBE marks (plus any verified NCC/RRU marks), category-wise and separately for men and women. Ties are broken by Part A marks, then Part B marks, then date of birth (older first), then alphabetical order of names. There is no re-evaluation or re-checking of scores.
