Posts covered
The examination may cover the Sub-Inspector (Executive) role in Delhi Police and Sub-Inspector roles in participating Central Armed Police Forces.

The original article describes a bachelor’s degree from a recognized university as the general qualification for the Delhi Police and CAPF Sub-Inspector posts. Specialized posts may have additional requirements. Eligibility is assessed using the crucial date and conditions stated in the official notification; being in the final year does not automatically mean that a candidate qualifies.
Age limit and relaxations
The stored summary referred to a general age band of 20 to 25 years for several Sub-Inspector posts, with different criteria for the CISF Fire post and certain departmental candidates. Do not use this paragraph to calculate your eligibility. The official notice defines the exact age cut-off, category relaxations, departmental rules and required service documents.
Application fee
The original summary lists a ₹100 application fee for General, OBC and EWS male candidates, with exemptions for women, SC, ST and eligible ex-servicemen. It also reports separate correction charges for first and second corrections. Verify the fee table in the official SSC notice and pay only through the authorized portal.
Selection stages
The selection process described for this examination includes Computer-Based Test Paper I, physical standards and endurance tests, Paper II and the subsequent medical or document-verification stages applicable to the post. Review the official syllabus, exam pattern, negative-marking rules, physical standards and qualifying requirements before planning your preparation.
