J&K Police Constable study guide
J&K Police Constable · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The J&K Police Constable Recruitment Examination is the written screening stage used by the Jammu and Kashmir Police to shortlist candidates for the post of constable. It is aimed at candidates who meet the notification's age, education and domicile requirements and who can also clear the separate Physical Endurance Test and Physical Standard Test, which are qualifying stages in their own right. The J&K Police Constable study guide has 8 sections and about 3,218 words.
01General Awareness and Current Affairs
This section checks whether you follow India's institutions and public events as they change, not just as they were taught at school. Questions usually come from Indian polity and governance, government schemes and their nodal ministries, awards and appointments, sports, defence and space missions, international organisations, and state-level developments in Jammu and Kashmir.
421 words, about 2 min02General Knowledge with Special Reference to Jammu and Kashmir
This domain tests the geography, history, culture and administrative structure of Jammu and Kashmir, with heavy weight on what changed after 2019. Expect questions on rivers, lakes and passes, districts and divisions, shrines and festivals, language and craft, and the constitutional position of the Union Territory.
437 words, about 2 min03Mathematics (Quantitative Aptitude)
The quantitative paper is Class 10-level arithmetic under time pressure: number system, percentage, ratio and proportion, average, profit and loss, simple and compound interest, time–speed–distance, time and work, mensuration, and data interpretation from tables and bar charts. Speed comes from converting word problems into a single clean equation rather than from memorising shortcuts without understanding them.
409 words, about 2 min04Reasoning and Mental Ability
This paper measures how you spot patterns and follow rules, not what you have memorised. Recurring topics are number and letter series, coding–decoding, blood relations, direction sense, syllogism, order and ranking, seating arrangement, analogy and classification, and non-verbal items such as mirror images, paper folding and figure series.
390 words, about 2 min05Basic English Language and Comprehension
The English paper tests accuracy rather than literary knowledge. Expect error spotting, sentence improvement, fill in the blanks with prepositions and articles, synonyms and antonyms, one-word substitutions, idioms, active–passive and direct–indirect conversion, spelling, and a short reading comprehension passage.
358 words, about 2 min06Basic Computer Knowledge and Awareness
This domain covers computer fundamentals, memory and storage, common office software, the internet, and basic cyber safety. For a police recruit, the cyber-safety portion matters in practice: you may be the first person a fraud victim approaches.
361 words, about 2 min07Law and Legal Awareness Relevant to Policing
From 1 July 2024 the three colonial criminal codes were replaced: the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for the IPC 1860, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) for the CrPC 1973, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) for the Indian Evidence Act 1872. Questions test definitions, procedure, safeguards and human rights, so learn the new section numbers alongside the old ones.
426 words, about 2 min08Physical Fitness and Health Awareness
This section mixes the recruitment physical standards with practical health knowledge - training principles, nutrition, hydration, common injuries and first aid. It rewards candidates who understand why a training method works, not those who memorise slogans.
