Delhi Police Constable Exam Analysis 2025

The SSC-conducted Delhi Police Constable recruitment cycle for 2025 ran across multiple dates in December 2025. As the exam window closed, coaching platforms, test-prep portals and student groups began publishing shift-wise reviews, question compilations and early “good attempt” estimates. This article summarizes those reports, gives a section-wise analysis, suggests next steps for candidates and points you to the best places for official answer keys and objections.

What happened this exam season?

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) activated slot selection earlier in the cycle, and exams for various Constable posts were held between mid-December and early January, with many candidates taking the Computer Based Test (CBT) over several shifts. Coaching portals and student uploads began flowing in immediately after each shift, producing a fast stream of “paper-on-today” analyses.

Overall difficulty — short answer

Most mainstream exam-prep sites and on-the-ground reviews labelled the 2025 Delhi Police Constable papers “Easy to Moderate” overall, with variability between shifts (some shifts felt easier; a few were moderately tough due to time-consuming math and reasoning). This consensus comes from multiple test-prep summaries and candidate reports.

Exam pattern recap (brief)

The CBT usually tests:

General Intelligence & Reasoning

General Knowledge & Current Affairs

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability

Computer Awareness / Basic IT

(Exact marking and number of questions vary by notification—check the SSC notice for your post.)

Shift-wise and section-wise analysis

Reasoning

Trend: Mostly easy to moderate.

Typical questions: syllogisms, series (figural & numeric), coding-decoding, puzzles in fewer shifts.

Good attempts (est.): 18–24 depending on shift.

General Knowledge & Current Affairs

Trend: Easy to moderate; static GK + recent national/current news made up the bulk.

Notable: Several standard polity and economy questions; some region-specific items for Delhi.

Good attempts (est.): 28–36.

Quantitative Aptitude

Trend: Moderate — time-consuming arithmetic, work/time, ratios, and data interpretation in some shifts.

Many candidates flagged DI sets as the main time sink.

Good attempts (est.): 8–14 (depending on speed).

Computer Awareness

Trend: Easy to moderate; basic MCQs on MS Office, internet, hardware/software terms.

Good attempts (est.): 6–10.

Good attempts — safe score estimates

Based on collective analyses from Testbook, Prepp and other portals, safe attempt ranges that may put you in the expected qualifying wheelhouse (pre-physical round) are:

Overall safe attempt (conservative): 60–75 / 100

Higher shifts / stronger GK + reasoning performances: 75–85 / 100 (competitive for final merits)

Remember: SSC releases separate cutoffs for physical qualification and final merit; category and gender differences apply.

Expected cutoffs — rough guidance

Official cutoffs vary by category and post. Early estimates from coaching sites suggest:

General (male/female) — expect moderate upward pressure this year because many candidates reported easier GK/reasoning sections; Physical Test eligibility cutoff may still be strict due to large applicant volume.

OBC/SC/ST/EWS — category-wise relaxations expected as per historical norms.

Do not assume final cutoffs until SSC publishes them; these are only projections.

Final thoughts

If you took the Delhi Police Constable CBT in 2025 — congratulations on finishing a major milestone. Use this analysis only as a directional guide: confirm everything with the SSC’s official answer key and follow official objection procedures if necessary. Whether you’re estimating a score or planning next steps, a calm, methodical approach will serve better than reactionary posts on social media.
