The selection process is a two-stage gauntlet, focusing first on physical ability, and then on knowledge. Candidates must score a minimum in both stages to proceed.

1. Physical Efficiency Test (PET/PST) — 50 Marks

This is the first stage. Candidates must score at least 50% (25 marks) to be eligible for the Written Exam. This test is crucial for physical fitness and endurance.

Shot Put	10	15
Long Jump	10	10
Total Marks	50	50

2. Written Examination — 100 Marks

Only those who clear the PET/PST are called for the written exam.

Format: 100 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), 1 mark each.
Duration: 90 minutes.
Language: Conducted in the Marathi language.
Passing Criteria: Candidates must secure a minimum of 40% (40 marks) to qualify for Document Verification.

Subject/Section	Marks

Here’s the kicker: Candidates for the Police Constable Driver post must also undergo an additional Skill Test/Driver Test after the written exam. Final selection is based on the total cumulative performance across all stages.
