🚨 Big Setback for Candidates in Delhi Police Bharti 2025

Kokila Chokkanathan
Thousands of young aspirants preparing for the Delhi Police recruitment in 2025 have received disappointing news following a major update by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) — the agency that conducts the exams on behalf of delhi Police.

Here’s what’s happened:

📉 Vacancy Cut in Key Posts

The number of posts for several categories in the delhi Police 2025 recruitment has been reduced compared to what was originally notified earlier:

  • Total Delhi Police vacancy count for this recruitment has been revised downward — meaning fewer positions are now open than candidates expected.
  • For example:
    • Driver posts previously listed were reduced from 737 to 660.
    • Head Constable (Ministerial) posts also saw a significant cut.
    • Other categories like Wireless/Tele‑printer operators were reduced as well.
This reduction in vacancies comes after the written examination has already been completed, which has disappointed many candidates who had anticipated higher chances based on the initial numbers.

📅 Exam Schedule and Selection Process

Despite the vacancy cuts, the Delhi Police Constable exam dates for 2025 remain scheduled. The written exam phase for various posts (including Constable and others) was conducted between December 2025 and January 2026 by SSC as part of the recruitment process.

However, with fewer vacancies, competition has become even tougher, as the same number of candidates will now be competing for fewer job openings post‑exam.

📊 What This Means for Candidates

❌ Lower Chances of Selection

Since the vacancy count has decreased, candidates who scored similarly might find their cut‑offs higher and selection probability lower than originally expected.

📉 Increased Competition

Many aspirants had prepared intensely, believing that larger vacancy numbers would improve their odds. Now with post‑exam cuts, competition has intensified across categories.

📝 No Change in Eligibility

Important to note: other eligibility criteria and rules from earlier notifications haven’t changed — the reduction only affects the number of posts available.

🤲 What Candidates Can Do Now

✔ Download updated vacancy details from the SSC website or official notification.
✔ Prepare for physical tests (PET/PST) — successful candidates from the written exam will move to the next stages.
✔ Check expected cut‑offs online as competition increases.
✔ Consider alternative job alerts or recruitment opportunities in parallel.

🧠 Final Takeaway

The Delhi Police Bharti 2025 remains a major government job opportunity, but a recent reduction in vacancy numbers has negatively impacted many aspirants who had already appeared for exams or were preparing based on earlier notifications. With fewer posts available, the path to selection has become more competitive and challenging.
