Delhi Police Sub-Inspector Mock Test 2027: Free Full-Length Paper 1 and Paper 2 CBT Series (in Hindi and English)
If you are aiming to apply for the Constable position, then please go to our dedicated [Delhi Police Constable Mock Test 2027] page since that exam has one paper carrying a total of 100 marks. The page in question is for the Sub-Inspector (Executive) post, which is recruited via the multi-stage SSC CPO examination amounting to 400 marks.
The Delhi Police carry out the recruitment for the position of Sub-Inspector (Executive) through the Central Police Organization (SSC CPO) examination administered by the Staff Selection Commission.
Unlike police recruitment at the state level, which involves a single written paper, becoming a Sub-Inspector in the Delhi Police requires passing a rigorous multi-stage selection process:
- The first paper (a computer-based test) consists of 200 multiple-choice questions totaling 200 marks, spanning four subjects, and must be completed within 120 minutes, with a negative marking penalty of 0.25.
- The Physical Endurance Test (PET) and the Physical Standard Test (PST) should include the qualifying field events such as sprints, long jumps, high jumps, and measurements of height and chest.
- Paper 2 (Computer Based Test): This is a 200-question English Language and Comprehension paper worth a total of 200 marks, which must be completed within 120 minutes and includes a negative marking penalty of 0.25.
- A detailed medical examination: the last verification of whether an individual meets the required standards for physical fitness and vision before merit is assigned.
The final selection is determined by a total score of 400 (which is the sum of the marks obtained in Paper 1 and Paper 2). Of all the forces that recruit personnel through the SSC CPO process—such as the BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITBP, and SSB—the Delhi Police Sub-Inspector cadre always needs the highest cutoff marks, the threshold being regularly set above 330 and reaching as high as 350 or more out of 400 for unreserved candidates.
The use of our Delhi Police SI Mock Test 2027 platform enables you to carry out the comprehensive two-paper preparation required for this position. On it, you will be able to take full-length papers consisting of 200 questions, develop expertise in advanced mathematics and reasoning, increase your speed in handling 200 English comprehension questions, and keep track of your performance on an All-India live leaderboard.

SECTION 6: How to Score 340+ in Delhi Police SI (Cutoff Strategy)
To be appointed as a Sub-Inspector by the Delhi Police, one must score within the top 2% of all candidates who pass the written examination. Follow this step-by-step approach to scoring:
• General Intelligence & Reasoning : 46+ Marks (Target 48+ attempts with 95% accuracy)
• Quantitative Aptitude : 42+ Marks (Target 45+ attempts with 92% accuracy)
• English Comprehension (Paper 1) : 44+ Marks (Target 46+ attempts with 95% accuracy)
• General Knowledge / Awareness : 30+ Marks (Target 35+ selective attempts with 85% accuracy)
• Active/Passive & Direct/Indirect : 48+ / 50 Marks (Near-zero error margin required)
• Grammar & Error Spotting : 42+ / 45 Marks (Master standard SSC grammar rules)
• Reading Comprehension & Cloze : 48+ / 55 Marks (Daily reading to finish in under 30 mins)
• Vocabulary & Idioms : 42+ / 50 Marks (Regular revision of root words and idioms)
Strategic Rules for Pacing and Accuracy:
- From minute 0 to 15 (15 minutes): Answer all 50 general knowledge questions. Read each question once and if you know the answer, tick it in immediately; do not spend more than 18 seconds on any one question.
- From minute 15 to 40 (a period of 25 minutes): answer all 50 of the English comprehension questions and quickly check the grammar rules and the reading passages.
- From minute 40 to 75 (a period of 35 minutes): do all 50 of the Reasoning questions, solve the series, analogy, and coding problems quickly and save the more difficult puzzles for last.
- Minutes 75 to 115 (40 Mins): Solve 50 Quantitative Aptitude questions. Use scratch paper in an organized way. Double-check your calculations.
- From minute 115 to 120 (5 minutes): go over the questions that have been marked and check on the ones that have not been attempted.
on a test with 200 questions, careless guessing can quickly nullify your score advantage. If you make 24 random guesses, you will statistically get 6 correct ones (+6 marks) and 18 wrong answers (-4.5 marks), giving a net gain of only +1.5 marks while putting you at risk of a bigger penalty if you're unlucky. Use the 50-50 elimination rule, which means that you should only attempt questions that you find doubtful if you are certain that you can eliminate at least two of the answer options.
- Minutes 0 to 45 (45 mins): Answer 50 Voice and Narration questions. Also answer 45 Error Spotting questions.
- From minute 45 to 75 (a period of 30 minutes) do the 45 Vocabulary, Idiom, and One-Word Substitution questions.
- From minute 75 to 110 (35 minutes): carefully solve all the Reading Comprehension and Cloze Test passages.
- From minute 110 to 120 (10 minutes): go over the difficult questions and check your choices.
SECTION 7: Physical Endurance & Measurement Test (PE&MT Reference)
Candidates who meet the Paper 1 cutoff have to pass the physical qualifying tests before taking Paper 2; the physical tests are for qualification only and do not contribute marks to the final merit list.
| Parameter / Physical Event | Male Candidates (General) | Female Candidates (General) |
|---|---|---|
| Height Requirement | 170 cm (165 cm in the hill regions / 162.5 cm for ST) | 157 cm (155 cm in the hill regions / 154 cm for SC/ST) |
| Chest Measurement | 80 cm (Unexpanded) / 85 cm (Expanded) | Not Applicable |
| 100 Meters Sprint | Complete within 16 Seconds | Complete within 18 Seconds |
| 1.6 Km / 800m Run | Run 1.6 Km in 6.5 minutes, which is 6 minutes and 30 seconds. | Run 800 meters in 4 minutes. |
| Long Jump | For the long jump, the distance was 3.65 metres (about 12 feet) achieved over three attempts, | and 2.7 metres (about 9 feet) over three attempts. |
| High Jump | For the high jump, 1.2 metres (about 3.9 feet) is allowed in three attempts | and 0.9 metres (about 3 feet) in three attempts. |
| Shot Put (16 lbs / 7.26 kg) | For shot put (16 lbs / 7.26 kg) the distance achieved was 4.5 metres (approximately 14.7 feet) over three attempts; | not applicable. |
| Driving License Requirement | Valid LMV Driving License required for Delhi Police | Not Applicable |
The requirement regarding a driving licence for candidates applying to the position of Sub-Inspector with the Delhi Police is that men must have a valid Light Motor Vehicle (LMV) driving licence for both motorcycles and cars as of the date of the PE&MT. Candidates who do not hold a valid driving licence are only eligible for the central paramilitary forces (namely BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITBP, and SSB), and thus are excluded from the Delhi Police Sub-Inspector posts.

15 Common Mistakes Aspirants Make in Delhi Police SI Exams
Avoid these common preparation errors to protect your score:
- To underrate Paper 2—that is, to focus only on Paper 1 and treat Paper 2 as a minor issue—since it too is worth 200 marks and is the one that determines the final merit ranking.
- When guessing at random, and since there is a deduction of less than 0.25 marks for each wrong answer, it is necessary to go through all 200 questions and cancel the answers given in the section on quantitative aptitude and reasoning.
- One should focus on learning basic arithmetic rather than becoming proficient in advanced mathematics—such as trigonometry, geometry, and algebra—since these make up more than 35% of the SI quantitative section.
- Men who apply for their LMV driving licence tend to wait until the results have been published, which causes them to be rejected at the PE&MT stage.
- Not maintaining physical fitness while doing written preparation could lead to failing either the 1,600-meter run or the long jump in the PE&MT.
- The timing for Paper 1 was bad because 55 minutes were spent on the mathematics section and there was not enough time remaining to do the other 150 questions.
- Learning grammar terms without carrying out exercises which involve identifying errors and transforming sentences under time constraints.
- If one fails to carry out reading comprehension practice by not reading the editorials every day, then one will have slow reading speeds when answering the 35 comprehension questions on Paper 2.
- The wrong use of verb tenses when describing events—for instance, changing from the simple past to the past perfect—when the reporting verb is itself in the past tense.
- Not realizing that when changing from active to passive voice the tenses remain unchanged, as they do in the case of transforming direct speech into indirect speech.
- Solving mathematics and reasoning problems casually without keeping track of how many seconds each question takes.
- In the GK section the emphasis is solely on modern history and it fails to include Indian art and culture, classical dances, and the constitutional provisions, all of which carry easy marks in General Awareness.
- Failing to do practice exercises on paper scratch sheets by attempting the complex geometry and algebra calculations mentally during practice, which causes careless sign errors on the day of the exam.
- Rather than studying prefixes, suffixes, and Latin or Greek roots in order to understand unfamiliar words, individual words are memorized.
- Not reviewing the errors from mock tests: taking practice tests without checking the mistakes in an error notebook in order to avoid repeating the same errors.
60-Day Preparation Strategy for Delhi Police SI (Paper 1 & 2 Integrated)
Follow this structured study plan to prepare for both papers systematically:
| Study Phase | Timeframe | Core Subject Focus | Daily Action Plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | from day 1 to day 20 | geometry, algebra and basic grammar | In the first phase, which takes place from day 1 to day 20, study geometry, algebra and basic grammar with a focus on circle theorems, trigonometric identities, the active voice and the passive voice, and the rules about narration. Do 45 minutes of physical exercise each day. |
| Phase 2 | from Day 21 to Day 40 | Reasoning, Vocabulary and Polity | In Phase 2, which covers Reasoning, Vocabulary and Polity, from Day 21 to Day 40, you should do forty reasoning questions each day, study thirty one-word substitutions and idioms each day, and also go over the Fundamental Rights, the DPSP and the river systems. |
| Phase 3 | From day 41 to day 50 | Paper 2 English and timing | From day 41 to day 50 the Phase 3 section involving Paper 2 English and timing consists of reading two long English editorials each day and then finishing 50 Paper 2 English questions within strict 30-minute time limits, as well as practicing the high jump and the long jump. |
| Phase 4 | from day 51 to day 60 | full mock test revision | In Phase 4, from day 51 to day 60, students should each week do two full Paper 1 tests and one full Paper 2 test through our Delhi Police SI Mock Test 2027 platform and then check their error logbook. |
Category-Wise Cutoff Trends: Delhi Police SI vs Central Paramilitary Forces
Understanding historical cutoff distributions highlights why the Delhi Police SI cadre requires an exceptional score:
| Candidate Category | Delhi Police SI Final Cutoff (Out of 400) | Paramilitary (BSF/CRPF) Cutoff (Out of 400) | Recommended Target Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open Merit (UR / General) | 335 – 352 Marks | 275 – 295 Marks | 345+ Marks |
| Other Backward Classes (OBC) | 325 – 340 Marks | 260 – 280 Marks | 335+ Marks |
| Economically Weaker Section (EWS) | 320 – 338 Marks | 255 – 275 Marks | 332+ Marks |
| Scheduled Caste (SC) | 285 – 305 Marks | 225 – 245 Marks | 305+ Marks |
| Scheduled Tribe (ST) | 270 – 290 Marks | 215 – 235 Marks | 290+ Marks |
| Female Candidates (UR) | 315 – 330 Marks | 265 – 285 Marks | 325+ Marks |
The reason is that the cut-off mark for the position of Sub-Inspector with the Delhi Police is always between 50 and 65 marks higher than that for posts in the paramilitary forces, since people would rather be posted in urban areas, there are more chances for promotion within the Delhi Police and the central pay benefits apply in the National Capital Territory.
Eligibility Criteria: Age Limit, Education and Driving Requirements
Candidates who are applying for the position of Sub-Inspector must meet the official criteria set by the SSC and the Delhi Police:
| Parameter | Official SSC CPO Guidelines | Key Verification Points |

| Educational Qualification | A bachelor's degree in any subject | Must possess a recognized graduation degree from a university that is established by law |
| Driving License (applicable only to men) | A valid LMV driving licence (for motorcycle or car) | This is a requirement for Delhi Police Sub-Inspectors at the time of the PE&MT (a learner's licence is not accepted) |
| Age Limit (General / UR) | Between 20 and 25 years | This age limit is calculated as of the official cutoff date mentioned in the recruitment notification |
| Age Relaxation (OBC) | The upper age limit is 28 years | This is in accordance with the standard 3-year age relaxation policy of the central government |
| Age Relaxation (SC / ST) | The upper age limit is 30 years | This is in line with the standard 5-year age relaxation policy of the central government |

Sample High-Yield Practice Questions with Solutions
Review the following sample questions to get an idea of the level of difficulty of the examination:
Sample Question 1: Paper 1 – Quantitative Aptitude (Advanced Geometry)
Here is the question: In a circle having centre O the chords AB and CD cross each other at a point P. Since AP is 8 cm, PB is 6 cm, and CP is 4 cm, what is the length of the chord CD?
(A) 12 cm (B) 16 cm (C) 14 cm (D) 10 cm
Correct Answer: (B) 16 cm
Explanation:
According to the Intersecting Chords Theorem, when two chords intersect inside a circle, the products of the lengths of the segments are equal:
AP × PB = CP × PD
Substitute the given values into the formula:
8 × 6 = 4 × PD
48 = 4 × PD ⇒ PD = 48 / 4 = 12 cm
The question asks for the total length of chord CD:
CD = CP + PD = 4 cm + 12 cm = 16 cm
Sample Question 2: Paper 2 – English (Direct to Indirect Speech)
Question: Choose the correct indirect form of the following sentence:
(A) The inspector asked the recruit whether or not he had seen the suspect near the bank the day before.
The inspector asked the recruit whether or not he had seen the suspect in the neighbourhood of the bank the day before.
B) The inspector asked the recruit if he had seen the suspect near the bank the previous day.
C) The inspector asked the recruit whether or not he had seen the suspect near the bank the previous day.
D) The inspector asked the recruit if he had seen the suspect near the bank the day before.
The correct answer is (A), since the inspector questioned the recruit about whether he had seen the suspect close to the bank the day before.
Explanation:
The rules for converting interrogative sentences are:
The verb 'said to' is replaced with 'asked'.
In questions which require a yes or no answer, either 'if' or 'whether' should be used (not 'that').
The simple past tense ("Did you see") is replaced by the past perfect tense ("had seen").
The time expressions are changed in the same way as mentioned, for example "yesterday" is changed to "the previous day".
Option (A) obeys all of these transformation rules.
Sample Question 3: Paper 1 – General Awareness (Indian Constitution)
What does Article 368 of the Constitution of India say about the constitutional amendment which must be ratified by the legislatures of not less than one-half of the states?
(A) The abolition or creation of Legislative Councils in the states
(B) Changes to the citizenship provisions under Part II
(C) Any amendment that affects the representation of states in Parliament
(D) The rules of procedure in Parliament
Correct Answer: (C) Any amendment affecting the representation of states in Parliament
Explanation:
According to Article 368(2), any amendments which change the federal structure of the Constitution must obtain not only a special majority in Parliament—that is, two-thirds of the members who are present and voting and an absolute majority of all the members in total—but also the approval of at least half of the state legislatures by means of resolutions. The cases covered by this provision are the election of the President (as provided in Articles 54 and 55), the executive powers of both the Union and the states, those of the Supreme Court and the High Courts, the legislative lists in the Seventh Schedule, and the representation of the states in Parliament; while matters such as citizenship or the establishment of legislative councils are amended by ordinary parliamentary legislation under Articles 4, 11 and 169.
