Mizoram Police Constable syllabus

Written examination (HSLC level)

  • General English
  • Mathematics
  • General Knowledge
  • Reasoning and intelligence
  • Computer knowledge

Physical Efficiency Test

  • Men: 1.6 km within 8 minutes to qualify; 6 minutes or less earns the full 50 marks
  • Women: 1 km within 7 minutes to qualify; 5 minutes or less earns the full 50 marks
  • 100 m race: 15 seconds (men), 19 seconds (women)
  • High jump: 3 ft 6 in (men), 2 ft 8 in (women), three chances
  • Long jump: 12 ft (men), 7 ft 3 in (women), three chances

What they ask

The written exam is a single 3-hour OMR paper of 100 questions at HSLC level, set only in English, with 3 marks per question. English, mathematics and general knowledge have 25 questions each, reasoning has 15 and computer knowledge has 10. You need 120 of the 300 marks to reach the interview. Your endurance run time also carries up to 50 marks, and those marks count in the final merit list alongside the written and interview scores.

How to prepare

  • Train for the run, not just to pass it. The 1.6 km (men) or 1 km (women) run is scored on a time scale up to 50 marks, and those marks go into the final merit.
  • Do not neglect the 10 computer knowledge questions. They are worth 30 marks, and you need the CCC-level certificate anyway.
  • Aim well above 120 in the written exam. Only twice the number of vacancies are called for interview, so the qualifying mark alone may not be enough.
  • Practise HSLC-level mathematics and English with timed 100-question mock papers, since the paper is set in English only.
  • Get your NCC certificate ready if you have one. A, B and C certificates add 1%, 2% and 3% of the written exam total.
