Physical Test – The Deciding Factor

• Male Candidates: 1600 m run, long jump, high jump, chest measurement
• Female Candidates: 800 m run, long jump, high jump, height measurement

These tests are qualifying in nature but very important. Start daily jogging and stamina training. I’ve seen many students fail here despite scoring well in written exams.

3. Upload scanned photo & signature
4. Pay the fee: ₹100 (Gen/OBC/EWS males); No fee for SC/ST/Women/Ex-servicemen

Cut-Off Trends – Set Your Target Higher

Based on previous years:

• General (Male Constable) → 70–75 marks
• OBC → 65–70 marks
• SC/ST → 55–65 marks

👉 Always keep your target 10–15 marks above the expected cut-off. This buffer ensures safety.

How to Prepare Effectively

As someone who has guided many students through this exam, here is my expert strategy:

1. Break the Syllabus: Cover reasoning, GK, maths, and computer section-wise.
2. Daily Practice: Solve at least 2–3 sets of previous year papers.
3. Mock Tests: Attempt online mocks to improve time management.
4. Current Affairs: Revise daily news, focus on last 6–8 months before exam.
5. Physical Prep: Dedicate 30–45 minutes every day to running and jumps.
6. Revision: Keep one fixed day every week only for revision.

Remember: Clearing Delhi Police is about balance — strong written + consistent physical training.
