appearing for any exam, it is always advised to have an understanding of the
different stages of the selection process, important topics, and the exam
pattern. This does not take a lot of time but gives a huge advantage in the

including the Delhi Police 2020 Constable Exam are not aware of the essential information before
appearing for the exam. Hence, those who had even slight knowledge had the edge
over others. We will discuss all the necessary details one should know when
