The Delhi Police Constable Age Band
Delhi Police Constable (Executive) recruitment, conducted by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC), requires candidates to be at least 18 years old and to not have crossed 25 years as on the notification's reference date. As with every exam in this family, the upper bound is exclusive: a candidate who turns exactly 25 on the reference date has already crossed the limit, and the oldest eligible candidate is one day short of their 25th birthday.
Category-wise Relaxation
| Category | Relaxation on upper age |
|---|---|
| General / EWS | +0 |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | +3 years |
| SC / ST | +5 years |
Special Relaxations This Calculator Does NOT Cover
Delhi Police extends much larger age relaxations to a handful of specific groups that go well beyond the standard OBC/SC-ST table:
- Departmental candidates already serving in Delhi Police: up to 40 years (General), 43 years (OBC), or 45 years (SC/ST).
- Sons and daughters of serving, retired, or deceased Delhi Police personnel: relaxation up to 29 years.
- Sportspersons of distinction in specified disciplines: a separate relaxation, typically up to 5 years.
If any of these apply to you, this calculator's standard OBC/SC-ST bands will understate your true eligibility — check the notification's special-category clauses directly rather than relying on this tool.
What Disqualifies You
- Being younger than 18, or having already turned 25 (or your relaxed upper limit, if you qualify only for the standard OBC/SC-ST relaxation), as on the reference date.
- Not having passed Class 12 (10+2) from a recognised board by the closing date of applications.
- Not holding a valid LMV (Light Motor Vehicle) driving licence, required for male candidates specifically — this calculator checks age only.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the relaxation apply to the minimum age too? No — only the upper age limit is relaxed; every candidate, regardless of category, must be at least 18.
Are there separate age rules for hilly-area or ward-of-personnel candidates? Yes — Delhi Police recruitment carries additional relaxations for these and other special groups that this calculator does not model; check the full relaxation table in the notification.
Is this exam conducted by Delhi Police or SSC? The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) conducts the written examination on behalf of Delhi Police, so the notification is published on ssc.gov.in.
Is this the official SSC/Delhi Police eligibility checker? No. This is an independent, browser-only estimate built from the 2026 recruitment notification's standard relaxation table. Always cross-check your exact date of birth and category (including any special-category relaxation) against the notification PDF at ssc.gov.in.
Is my data stored anywhere? No. The check runs entirely in your browser; nothing is transmitted to a server.
