Selection Process for CG Police Constable
The selection process is divided into several stages to ensure that only the most capable candidates are selected. It begins with document verification, where applicants must produce original certificates related to educational qualifications, age, caste, and other eligibility documents.
Once the documents are verified, candidates proceed to the Physical Measurement Test (PMT). Those who meet the height and chest requirements will then participate in the Physical Efficiency Test (PET), which will test stamina, speed, and physical ability. Events in the PET include a 100-meter sprint, long jump, high jump, shot put, and a long-distance run. Each event carries specific qualifying standards, and candidates must meet or exceed them to qualify for the next round.
The final stage is the written examination, which will be conducted offline. The exam will have 100 objective-type questions carrying a total of 300 marks. The duration will be two hours, and the paper will cover subjects such as General Knowledge, Mental Ability, and Arithmetic. Importantly, there will be no negative marking for wrong answers, giving candidates more confidence to attempt all questions.
