The Delhi Police is preparing to issue its much-awaited recruitment notification for the post of constable in 2025, with plans to fill a total of 5,293 vacant positions across the metropolitan police force. The official advertisement is expected to be published in the coming weeks, and prospective candidates are advised to regularly check the Delhi Police website and the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board portal for updates.
Although the detailed notification has not yet been released, past recruitment cycles suggest that candidates must possess a minimum of a bachelor's degree from a recognized university to apply for the constable position. The age limit is generally set between 21 and 25 years for general category candidates, with standard relaxation provisions applicable for reserved categories as per government norms. Physical fitness standards, including height, chest measurements for male candidates, and endurance tests, will continue to be mandatory components of the selection process.
The selection procedure typically involves multiple stages, beginning with a written examination testing reasoning, mathematics, general knowledge, and Hindi proficiency. Candidates who clear the preliminary test are called for the physical measurement test and physical efficiency test, followed by a document verification stage. Those who succeed in all rounds are placed on the merit list and eventually recruited into the force.
Successful constables can expect a starting monthly salary in the range of ₹21,700 to ₹69,100, depending on the pay band and allowances, along with other government benefits such as medical facilities, housing, and pension under the National Pension System. Candidates are urged to prepare thoroughly and submit their online applications as soon as the application window opens to avoid last-minute technical glitches or high traffic on the portal.
