Delhi Police Syllabus for Constable (Executive): Topics and Exam Pattern

How the selection works

The SSC Delhi Police Constable recruitment has a short chain of stages. Only the written test is scored for merit; the physical stage is pass or fail.

1. Computer based test (CBT): 100 questions in 90 minutes. Your normalised score decides the merit list and the shortlist for the next stage.
2. PE&MT: a 1600 metre race, long jump and high jump, plus height and chest measurement. It is qualifying only.
3. Medical examination and document verification: eyesight, general fitness and your certificates, including the driving licence that male candidates must hold.

Because the CBT alone ranks you, every mark you add there counts directly toward selection.

Delhi police constable exam pattern

Every correct response earns a single mark, while each incorrect one pulls a quarter mark off your score. There is no sectional time limit, so you can move between sections freely within the 90 minutes. When the test runs over several shifts, SSC normalises the raw marks before it prepares the merit list.

Delhi police syllabus topic wise

General Knowledge and Current Affairs (50 marks)

• News from India and abroad, especially the last 12 months
• India and its neighbouring countries
• History of India and Indian culture
• Indian and world geography
• Indian economy and economic scene
• Indian polity and the Constitution
• Everyday science and new research
• Sports events, awards, authors with their books, important days

Reasoning (25 marks)

• Analogies, similarities and differences, classification
• Coding and decoding, number and letter series, non-verbal series
• Spatial visualisation and orientation, visual memory, figure based questions
• Relationship concepts, arithmetical reasoning, observation and discrimination

Numerical Ability (15 marks)

• Number system, whole numbers, decimals and fractions, relationships between numbers
• Fundamental arithmetic operations and simplification
• Percentage, ratio and proportion, average
• Interest, profit and loss, discount
• Mensuration, speed and distance, work and time

Computer Fundamentals (10 marks)

• MS Word: creating, editing and formatting a document
• MS Excel: spreadsheet basics, cells, formulas and simple functions
• Communication: sending and receiving e-mail
• Internet, the World Wide Web and web browsers

Where the marks really are

The split is unusual compared with most SSC papers. General knowledge alone is worth as much as the other three sections put together, while maths is only 15 marks. That shapes your preparation in three ways.

• Current affairs and static GK decide rank. Two candidates with similar reasoning scores are usually separated by their GK.
• Reasoning is the safest scoring area. The questions are mostly short and pattern based, so 20 or more out of 25 is a realistic target with practice.
• Computer questions are quick marks. Ten questions on Word, Excel, e-mail and browsers can be prepared in a couple of weeks.

Numerical ability stays at a school level, so you do not need advanced shortcuts; accuracy matters more than speed in these 15 questions.

A 12 week plan for the CBT

This plan assumes you can give about three hours a day.

• Weeks 1 to 4: static GK from NCERT books of classes 6 to 10 (history, geography, polity, science), one reasoning topic a day, and arithmetic basics such as percentage and ratio.
• Weeks 5 to 8: start a daily current affairs habit (30 minutes, short notes), finish the computer section, and move to mensuration and time and work.
• Weeks 9 to 12: one full 100 question mock every two days, review every wrong answer, and revise GK notes on the off days.

Keep the physical stage in mind too: start running three or four days a week from the first month, since the 1600 metre race comes soon after the result.

Study material that suits this paper

• NCERT school books (classes 6 to 10) covering history, geography, polity and general science.
• A standard general knowledge reference book plus a month by month digest of news events.
• Any school level arithmetic book for percentage, ratio, interest and mensuration.
• A basic computer fundamentals guide covering MS Office, e-mail and the internet.
• The papers from earlier Constable exams, which show the level of questions better than any guide.

After the CBT: the physical and medical stage

The syllabus ends with the written test, but your selection does not. Men must finish 1600 metres within 6 minutes (up to age 30), and women within 8 minutes, with long and high jump standards that ease with age. Minimum height is 170 cm for men and 157 cm for women, with relaxations for some groups. Full tables are on the eligibility and physical standards page, and past qualifying scores are on the Delhi Police cut off page.
