Factors Affecting Delhi Police Constable Cut Off
The cut off marks are never fixed in advance they fluctuate every year based on several variables. Understanding these factors helps candidates interpret why the cut off rises or falls compared to previous cycles.
- Number of vacancies: More vacancies generally result in a relatively lower cut off, and fewer vacancies push it higher.
- Number of candidates appearing: Higher competition among applicants tends to raise the cut off.
- Difficulty level of the CBT paper: A tougher paper usually lowers the cut off, while an easier paper raises it.
- Category-wise reservation policy: Cut off marks differ across UR, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS due to reservation norms.
- Previous years' cut off trends: Historical data often gives a directional sense of where the cut off may settle.
- Overall performance of candidates: If a large number of candidates score well, the cut off increases accordingly.

What Happens After Qualifying the Cut Off?
Clearing the CBT cut off is only the first step. This section briefly explains the next stages candidates must clear to secure final selection as a Delhi Police Constable.
Candidates who qualify the CBT cut off will be called for:
- Physical Endurance & Measurement Test (PE&MT): Includes physical measurements and endurance tasks such as running, long jump, and high jump.
- Document Verification (DV): Verification of educational certificates, category certificates, and other eligibility documents.
- Medical Examination: A detailed medical fitness test to confirm eligibility for the constable post.
Only after clearing all these stages will candidates appear in the final merit list for appointment.
