Delhi Police Constable Exam Pattern 2026

Delhi Police Constable Exam Pattern

The written exam is a single Computer Based Examination (CBE) held by SSC. It has objective multiple-choice questions at Class 10 (matriculation) level. You can take it in Hindi or English.

CBE pattern (2025 exam)

• Duration: 90 minutes
• Negative marking: 0.25 marks for each wrong answer
• Normalisation: because the exam runs in many shifts, SSC normalises the marks

Minimum qualifying marks in CBE

NCC bonus

NCC certificate holders get bonus marks: 5% of the maximum marks for 'C', 3% for 'B' and 2% for 'A'. Ex-servicemen do not get this bonus. Bonus marks are added only after you show your documents at the PE&MT/DV stage.

After the CBE

• About 12 times the vacancies are shortlisted for PE&MT, category-wise, on merit.
• PE&MT is only qualifying. It covers a 1600 m race, long jump and high jump, plus height and chest measurement (see the Eligibility tab).
• Those who pass go on to document verification and the medical exam.
• The final merit list is based on CBE marks. Delhi Police keeps a 15% reserve panel.
