About this exam

The CG Police Constable recruitment examination is the selection process used by the Chhattisgarh Police to fill constable posts in the state force. It suits candidates who want a uniformed, disciplined public-service career in Chhattisgarh and who can combine written-test preparation with sustained physical training. Selection normally runs through a written objective paper followed by physical measurement (PST) and physical efficiency (PET) stages, with document verification and medical checks later; the exact sequence, eligibility and standards are fixed by the current recruitment advertisement, so always read that document rather than relying on second-hand summaries.

The written paper is broad rather than deep. Expect general knowledge and current affairs, general science, Indian and Chhattisgarh history, polity and the Constitution, Indian and Chhattisgarh geography, Indian and Chhattisgarh economy, reasoning and mental ability, numerical aptitude, and Chhattisgarh language, culture and social customs. State-specific content carries real weight, so Chhattisgarh's districts, rivers, forests, tribes, festivals and state schemes deserve dedicated revision alongside standard national material.

A workable preparation plan is to build the physical routine first, since fitness improves slowly, then layer written preparation in fixed daily blocks: one national subject, one Chhattisgarh-specific subject, and daily practice sets of reasoning and arithmetic. Take timed mock tests regularly, review every error, and keep a single running notebook for current affairs and state facts.

What you'll study

Common questions

About CG Police Constable preparation

What is the selection process for CG Police Constable?

Typically a written objective examination, then physical measurement and physical efficiency tests, followed by document verification and medical examination. The current advertisement issued by Chhattisgarh Police sets the exact stages, order and qualifying standards, so confirm the sequence there before you plan your preparation around it.

How many questions are there and how long is the written paper?

The question count, paper duration and marking scheme are specified in the recruitment advertisement for that cycle and can change between cycles. Rather than trusting a figure from an old coaching handout, download the current notification from the official Chhattisgarh Police recruitment portal and note the numbers there.

What is the minimum qualifying mark or cut-off?

Cut-offs are decided after the examination and vary by category, post and the difficulty of that year's paper. The official recruitment body publishes the applicable qualifying norms and any category-wise relaxation in the advertisement and result notices; check those documents instead of relying on numbers quoted in forums.

How difficult is the written examination?

The paper is broad rather than highly specialised. Most questions are at a school-leaving level, but the syllabus is wide, speed matters, and Chhattisgarh-specific questions reward candidates who studied state material. Consistent revision plus timed practice usually separates successful candidates from those who only read once.

Can I retake the exam if I am not selected?

Selection applies to a specific recruitment cycle. If you are not selected, you may generally apply again in a later cycle, provided you still meet the age and eligibility conditions stated in that advertisement. Age relaxations and upper limits are fixed per notification, so read the current one carefully before reapplying.

How should I split my time between physical training and written preparation?

Start physical training early and keep it on a fixed weekly schedule, because running and measurement standards improve slowly. Reserve daily blocks for written subjects, mixing one national topic with one Chhattisgarh topic, and add short daily reasoning and arithmetic practice. Increase mock-test frequency in the final weeks without dropping the fitness routine.

Which sections should I study first?

Begin with the sections that reward steady accumulation: Chhattisgarh history, geography and culture, plus polity and general science. Reasoning and numerical aptitude improve fastest with daily practice, so run them in parallel. Keep current affairs as a short daily habit rather than a last-minute cram.

What mistakes cause candidates to fail?

Common causes include neglecting the physical standards until the written result is out, ignoring Chhattisgarh-specific material in favour of general national facts, never practising under time pressure, and failing to check the eligibility conditions and document requirements in the official advertisement. Each of these is avoidable with early planning.

Where can I confirm eligibility, dates and physical standards?

Only the official Chhattisgarh Police recruitment portal and the advertisement published for that cycle are authoritative for age limits, education, reservation, physical standards, dates and fees. Treat coaching material and social media posts as secondary, and re-check the notification whenever a detail affects your application.
