The Delhi Police Department recruits constables through a sequence of exams, personal interviews, and physical examinations. Annually, a large number of students apply for the Delhi Police Constable recruitment, but only the best candidates are chosen for several vacancies available. Since a maximum number of Candidates appear for the exam every year, it's really a hard nut to crack but nothing is impossible if we have a strong Strategy to tackle the difficulties.
Always remember you have to stick to the strategy which you create in order to clear the examination as a compass can only suggest a direction to a sailor but a sailor is the only person who is responsible to take his boat in the right direction. Similarly, we can only suggest tic-tacs for achieving your goal but you are the only one who is responsible. So through this article, we are sharing some tips which will assist you during the preparation for Delhi Police Constable Exam:
Be familiar with the exam pattern: One should have a clear understanding of the latest exam pattern as this is the most important step that you shouldn’t skip. So here we are sharing a glimpse of the same:
The Computer-based examination includes an objective paper with multiple choice questions containing 100 questions carrying 100 marks, with the following composition:
Subject | Number of Questions | Maximum marks | Duration/time allowed | |
Part-A | General Knowledge/ Current Affairs | 50 | 50 | 90 minutes (1 Hour and 30 mins) |
Part-B | Reasoning | 25 | 25 | |
Part -C | Numerical Ability | 15 | 15 | |
Part-D | Computer Fundamentals, MS Excel, MS Word, Communication, Internet, WWW and Web Browsers etc. | 10 | 10 |
Solve P.Y.Q papers: One should solve at least previous 10 year’s question papers as this will help to understand the difficulty level of the examination. Also, this will help you in introspecting yourself with your weak and strong areas so that you can devote your time accordingly between the weak and the strong sections during preparation.
Create a timetable: Once you have introspected yourself, make a timetable to focus on each and every topic. The timetable should be divided between your weak and strong topics.
Prepare short and factual notes: For speedy exam revision important notes should be written properly so that they can be revised at the last minute.
Practise Mock Test: Mock tests should be taken far ahead of time to gain a sense of how effectively you can manage time during an exam and take care of it appropriately.
Good Sources: Always choose your sources carefully like the books and study materials you are opting for should be good and reliable.
Practise Sectional Test: One should attempt sectional tests in order to ace their weak topics strong and strong topics strongest. It will also help you in revising the topics which you have studied.
Focus on Physical and Mental Health: Don’t be in a rush and take too much stress on the examination. Just be calm while preparing as stress will harm your health and you wouldn’t be able to focus on your study. For this, you can do Yoga and meditation in the morning.
Eat Healthily, Sleep Healthy is the absolute mantra for this.
