The West Bengal Police Recruitment Board (WBPRB) conducts recruitment for Constable and Lady Constable posts under Kolkata Police. It’s a separate cycle from the general West Bengal Police Constable drive, though both are run by the same board.

Candidates need to have passed the Madhyamik (Class 10) Examination from the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education, or an equivalent board exam. There’s no graduation requirement, which is why the level of the written paper stays school-standard.

General category candidates typically need to fall between 18 and 30 years as on the notification’s cut-off date, with the usual government relaxation for OBC, SC, ST, Ex-servicemen, and other reserved categories. Always confirm the exact figure against the current year’s notification.

The process generally runs through:

1. Preliminary Written Test — MCQ-based screening exam
2. Physical Measurement Test (PMT) — height, weight, and chest
3. Physical Efficiency Test (PET) — timed running
4. Final Written Examination — the main scoring exam
5. Interview / Personality Test

Only candidates who clear one stage move to the next, and the final merit list is based on the Final Written Exam plus Interview marks.

The Prelim is usually an MCQ paper of 100 marks, made up of 100 objective questions carrying 1 mark each, to be solved within a fixed time limit. It’s purely a screening round — qualifying marks decide who moves on to the physical tests, not a rank as such.

Yes — a 0.25 mark deduction is commonly applied for every wrong answer. Since it’s a screening round, this makes accuracy just as important as speed; treat the exact figure as indicative until you check the current notification.

Across the Prelim and Final Written Exam, the syllabus broadly spans:

• General Awareness & General Knowledge — History, Geography, Science, Polity, Economy, and current affairs
• Elementary Mathematics — Madhyamik-standard arithmetic
• Reasoning — logical and analytical ability

That’s exactly why the subject buttons above are split the same way — so you can revise each block on its own.

The PMT checks whether a candidate meets the minimum height, weight, and chest measurement standards for the post, taken digitally in sequence — height and weight first, then chest for those who qualify. Standards differ for male and female candidates, with relaxations for certain categories.

General male candidates are typically expected to meet a minimum height around 167 cm, with a separate, lower standard for female candidates and category-based relaxations. The exact centimeter figures are fixed fresh in each notification, so always verify against that year’s PDF rather than an older cycle.

Male candidates are usually required to complete a 1600 metre run in around 6 minutes 30 seconds, while female candidates run 800 metres in around 4 minutes. This is a qualifying, pass/fail round — clearing the PMT alone isn’t enough to move ahead.

Both are qualifying in nature — there’s no separate score added to your merit from these rounds. Fail to meet either standard, though, and you’re out of the process regardless of how well you did in the written stages.

The Final Written Exam is generally an objective-type paper carrying around 85 marks, conducted after candidates clear the PMT and PET. Unlike the Prelim, this is the stage that actually decides your rank in the merit list.

Yes, a short Personality Test / Interview follows the Final Written Exam and typically carries a small share of marks toward the final merit — enough to matter, but not enough to offset a weak written score.

Both are recruited by the same WBPRB and follow a broadly similar selection process, but they’re separate notifications with separate vacancies — Kolkata Police Constables serve within the city under the Kolkata Police Commissionerate, while West Bengal Police Constables are posted across the state’s districts. Candidates often apply to both cycles when the timelines allow.

Pay Level	Level 6 of the West Bengal pay matrix
Basic Pay Range	Roughly Rs. 22,700 – Rs. 58,500 per month
Approx. Gross Salary	Around Rs. 26,600 (basic + HRA + DA + medical, before increment)

The in-hand amount varies with DA revisions, HRA slab, and posting, so treat this as indicative and confirm against the current notification.

Yes, newly appointed Constables are generally placed on a probation period before being confirmed in the post, during which conduct and training performance are reviewed.

Yes — recruitment is notified for both Constable and Lady Constable posts together, with separate physical standards (height, PET distance/time) but the same pay scale, syllabus, and selection stages.

A Constable’s duties typically include:

• Maintaining law and order at the ground level
• Traffic control in busy city areas
• Assisting seniors in investigations and case work
• Crowd management at events and festivals
• Public safety and emergency response support

It’s an entry-level, field-facing role directly under senior police officers.

At Constable level, this stays fact-based rather than analytical: Modern Indian freedom-movement History, physical and political Geography of India and West Bengal, everyday Science facts, basic Indian Polity and constitutional structure, and simple Economy/current-affairs terms — plus recent national and state news. Steady daily reading beats last-minute cramming for this block.

Common areas include percentage, ratio and proportion, profit and loss, simple interest, average, and simplification — all pitched at Madhyamik standard, meaning school-level calculation rather than advanced mathematics. Speed matters as much as accuracy here.

Expect analogies, series completion, coding-decoding, blood relations, direction sense, and basic logical puzzles — the kind of questions that improve fastest with regular daily practice rather than one-time study.

A mixed question list hides your weak spots. Splitting by subject lets you drill one topic at a time, track improvement subject by subject, and stop re-solving material you’ve already mastered — useful given how many small subjects the Constable General Awareness section touches.

wbpscupsc.com doesn’t offer file downloads. Every subject-wise question above is meant for direct online practice — open it on your phone or laptop and solve right there, nothing to save or manage.

Applications are accepted online only, through the official West Bengal Police Recruitment Board portal. You’ll register, fill in personal, educational, and physical-standard details, upload your photo and signature per the given specification, and pay the fee before the deadline — applications by post or email aren’t accepted.

A nominal application fee is generally charged for general/OBC candidates, with SC/ST/PwD/Ex-servicemen categories usually getting a fee waiver or reduced rate. The exact amount and category-wise breakup are announced fresh with each notification.

A recent passport-size photograph and a clear signature scan, both within the file-size and dimension limits stated in that year’s application instructions, are usually required at the registration stage itself — mismatched specs are a common reason applications get stuck, so this is worth double-checking before submission.

Vacancy counts change every cycle based on government requirement — recent notifications have ranged from roughly 3,700 to over 3,900 Constable and Lady Constable posts combined. The exact number for the current recruitment is confirmed only in the official WBPRB notification.

Start early. Many aspirants begin running practice only after the Prelim result, leaving very little time before the actual PET. Building basic stamina for the 1600m/800m run alongside daily subject-wise practice, right from day one, is the safer approach.

A workable rhythm many aspirants follow:

1. Lock down the Prelim vs Final exam pattern and syllabus split first
2. Rotate daily practice across all eight subjects on this page rather than over-focusing on one
3. Add 3–4 running sessions a week from day one, building toward the 1600m (or 800m) PET timing
4. Take timed mock sets to manage the 0.25 negative marking confidently
5. Keep a running current-affairs notebook instead of cramming before the exam

Consistency across both the written and physical sides beats a last-minute sprint every time.

New previous year questions are added as they surface, and exam-related details here are revised whenever WBPRB puts out an official update. It’s worth bookmarking this page and checking back regularly rather than relying on a single visit.

Notifications are released periodically by WBPRB as vacancy needs arise, and the exact schedule isn’t fixed year to year. Keep an eye on wbpscupsc.com — this page gets refreshed the moment fresh official information is out.

For most aspirants, yes — subject-wise drilling shows you exactly which of the eight areas (History, Geography, Science, Polity, Economy, Arithmetic, GK, Reasoning) is pulling your score down, so your revision time goes where it’s actually needed instead of being spread thin.
