RAJ Police Constable EXAM

RAJ Police Constable Exam

The Rajasthan Police Constable examination is one of the most sought-after state government jobs, acting as the primary entry point into the Rajasthan Police force, with a large-scale recruitment drive for around 10,000 vacancies recently conducted in 2025. This role is further broken down into specific operational and specialized units based on the candidate’s skill set and the needs of the department. For instance, the majority of recruits are designated as Constable (General Duty or GD), responsible for core law enforcement, patrolling, and maintaining public order. Career growth is structured, and while a Constable can technically rise to the rank of Inspector, promotion is based on a combination of merit, departmental exams, and years of service.

Eligibility:

• Educational Qualification: Must have passed the 10+2 (Senior Secondary) examination from a recognized Board.

• CET Qualification: Candidates must have secured the prescribed minimum marks in the Rajasthan CET (Common Eligibility Test) 10+2 Level Exam to be eligible to apply.

• Age Limit: Must be between 18 and 24 years of age (as of the specified cut-off date, with relaxations of 5 years for SC/ST/OBC Male candidates and 10 years for SC/ST/OBC Female candidates).

Exam Pattern

The selection process for the Rajasthan Police Constable post is a multi-stage process where the final merit is determined by a combination of written exam marks, physical test marks, and special qualification marks.

1. Written Examination Pattern (CBE/Offline)

The written test is the most critical stage, consisting of 150 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) for a total of 150 marks, with a duration of 2 hours. There is a negative marking of $0.25$ marks deducted for every incorrect answer. Candidates must score a minimum qualifying percentage (e.g., 40% for General/OBC and 36% for SC/ST) to proceed.

Subject Sections	No. of Questions	Marks Allotted
Reasoning, Logic & Basic Computer Knowledge	60	60

Rajasthan General Knowledge (History, Culture, Geography, Polity)	45	45
Total	150	150

2. Physical Standard Test (PST) & Physical Efficiency Test (PET)

Candidates who qualify the written exam proceed to the physical tests. The PST involves measuring height and chest (for males), and height and weight (for females). The PET is the endurance test, which is a 5 km running race. Marks are awarded for the PET performance for some posts (e.g., 15 marks for Constable General Duty).

Event	Male Candidates	Female Candidates
5 KM Race	25 Minutes	35 Minutes (30 minutes for some categories)
Minimum Height (General)	168 cm	152 cm

3. Proficiency Test & Special Qualifications

Candidates for specialized posts like Constable (Driver) or Constable (Band) must clear an additional Proficiency Test (e.g., driving and vehicle maintenance skills for Driver). Furthermore, candidates can earn bonus marks (up to 20 marks) for possessing special qualifications like NCC (C/B/A Certificate) or having served in the Home Guard for a specified period.
