Preparation Tips & Strategy
Verified expert recommendations for MP Police Constable exam success
Focus heavily on General Knowledge & Reasoning, which carries 40% of the total CBT weightage.
Practice previous year MP Police Constable question papers to master speed, pattern, and accuracy.
Thoroughly revise MP-specific current affairs, state welfare schemes, awards, geography, and sports achievements.
Start physical training early; clearing the 800-metre run within time requires consistent cardiovascular conditioning.

Selection Process
Recruitment stages and document verification
Written examination with 100 objective MCQs carrying 100 marks (120 minutes, no negative marking). Candidates scoring above cutoff thresholds (approximately 7 times vacancies) advance to the physical tests.
Scoring test worth 100 marks: 800m Run (40 marks), Long Jump (30 marks), and Shot Put (30 marks). Candidates must score at least 30% (30 marks out of 100) to qualify. Performance marks directly add to CBT written marks to build the final merit score.

Verification of original credentials, educational marksheets (Class 10 / Class 8 for MP ST), caste/category certificates, MP domicile certificate, and active MP Rojgar Karyalaya registration.
Comprehensive fitness, vision, and locomotor examination (screening for knock knees, flat feet, squint, varicose veins, color vision) by an authorised government medical board.
Prepared out of 200 marks total (100 marks CBT + 100 marks PET), subject to qualifying PMT, DV, and Medical stages, based on merit, reservation quotas, and candidate cadre preferences.
