Delhi Police HC AWO/TPO

AWOs handle wireless and radio communication: operating sets, maintaining links and passing traffic between control rooms and field units. TPOs work with tele-printer and message-handling equipment, sending and receiving written traffic accurately. Both are technical support roles within the police communication setup rather than beat policing.

Those figures are fixed by the recruitment notification for each cycle and change between cycles, so no reliable fixed number exists. Check the current notification and its corrigenda on the official Delhi Police recruitment website before you plan your exam-day pacing.

The general sections sit around the level of other Delhi Police and SSC-style objective papers: moderate reasoning and quantitative questions, standard comprehension passages, and awareness questions that reward regular reading. The trade section is usually basic rather than engineering-degree level, covering radio fundamentals, electronics basics and tele-printer operation.

Many objective recruitment papers in this family apply a small penalty for wrong answers. Whether it applies here, and at what rate, is stated in the current notification. Read that clause carefully, because it directly affects how aggressively you should guess.

You cannot retake within the same recruitment cycle once eliminated. Instead, you apply afresh when the next notification opens, provided you still meet the age and eligibility conditions. Age relaxations and cut-off dates are cycle-specific, so verify them in the notification.

Start with general awareness, reasoning and numerical ability, which together carry most of the marks, and keep a daily current-affairs habit. Add English and Hindi comprehension practice in parallel. Leave trade-specific study for regular short sessions, since it is the smallest section but easy marks for candidates who prepare it.

Three recurring problems: neglecting Hindi or English comprehension and losing easy marks there, ignoring the trade section entirely, and failing to practise under timed conditions so accuracy collapses in the final minutes. Physical test preparation started too late is another common reason candidates who clear the written stage are eliminated.

Yes. Shortlisted candidates normally go through a physical endurance and measurement test before document verification. Standards such as race distance and time, and height and chest measurements, are published in the notification, so train specifically for those rather than assuming technical posts are exempt.

Only on the official Delhi Police recruitment portal and the official notification PDF, including any subsequent corrigendum. Third-party sites and coaching material often carry outdated figures for vacancies, dates, fees and qualifying marks, so treat them as leads to verify, not as final answers.
