ExploreAbout this exam
The Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces Examination is conducted by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC). The commission's own site describes it as the route by which it recruits candidates for the post of Sub-Inspector in the Delhi Police, and the same examination is the standard entry route for Sub-Inspector posts in the Central Armed Police Forces. It suits graduates who want a uniformed supervisory role in a police organisation rather than a desk job, and who accept that selection involves physical testing as well as written papers. The site confirms that the 2025 cycle has moved past its physical stage: a notice dated 29 October 2026 declares the result of PET/PST to shortlist candidates for Paper-II. The 2026 cycle appears in the SSC Calendar against 31 May, but a notice dated 26 October 2026 announces revised dates for that examination without stating them on the page. Candidates should therefore treat the calendar date as provisional and read the revised-dates notice before planning. Preparation should be built around the four written areas the examination is known for - reasoning, general awareness, quantitative aptitude and English comprehension - with physical training started early, because PET/PST can eliminate a strong written performer. Confirm every date and stage on ssc.gov.in; this page is independent study material and is not affiliated with the SSC.
What you'll study
About CAPF ASI Stenographer preparation
When is the next Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and CAPFs examination?
The SSC Calendar on ssc.gov.in lists 31 May against the Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces Examination, 2026. However, a notice dated 26 October 2026 announces revised dates for that same examination, and the revised schedule is not shown on the page. Check the notice before you plan.
What stages does the selection process involve?
The 2025 cycle notice on ssc.gov.in refers to a PET/PST stage followed by Paper-II, with the PET/PST result used to shortlist candidates for Paper-II. So expect a computer-based examination, physical efficiency and standard tests, then a second paper, before medical and document checks. Exact sequencing and qualifying rules are in the official notice.
Is the exam difficult to clear?
Difficulty comes from volume and from the physical stage rather than from trick questions. Written scores are usually bunched closely, so the PET/PST is where many candidates are lost. Build running and physical standards into your routine from week one instead of starting after the written result.
Can I retake the examination if I am not selected?
The SSC page does not state a retake or attempt-limit policy, so nothing can be confirmed here. Age limits and any attempt restrictions are set in the official notice for each cycle. Read that notice and treat the details on this page as study guidance only.
How should I order my written preparation?
Start with quantitative aptitude and reasoning, because both reward daily practice and improve slowly. Keep general awareness as a short daily habit rather than a cramming block. Practise English comprehension through reading and error-spotting under time. Then take full-length timed papers so your section order and skipping strategy are tested before the real examination.
What are the most common reasons candidates fail?
Three recur often: neglecting physical fitness until the PET/PST call letter arrives, misreading the revised-dates notice and missing a deadline, and practising untimed questions so accuracy looks better than it is under exam pressure. A fourth is ignoring the official notice and relying on coaching summaries that may describe an older cycle.
Where do I register, and what is the scribe OTR notice?
Registration is through ssc.gov.in. The site shows a notice dated 29 October 2026 that One Time Registration (OTR) for Scribe is live. If you may need a scribe, read that notice and complete the registration rather than waiting until the admission stage, when the window may already be closed.
Does this page have any official status?
No. This is independent study material written to help you find the examination and plan preparation. It is not affiliated with the Staff Selection Commission or any police force. Every date, stage and eligibility rule must be confirmed on ssc.gov.in and in the official notice for your cycle.
