Study material

How to prepare for Delhi Police Constable

  • The CBE is at Class 10 standard and decides your rank, so accuracy and speed on the fundamentals matter more than hard problems.
  • General Knowledge and current affairs carry half the paper — keep a short daily current-affairs habit and static-GK notes.
  • If you are a male candidate, get your LMV driving licence early; not having it at the physical stage disqualifies you.
  • Begin running and physical practice from day one — the 1600 metre race and jumps need weeks of conditioning.
  • Take full-length mocks at 100 questions in 90 minutes to build the pace the exam rewards.
