The extra 5 years given to Chhattisgarh educated unemployed candidates does not apply to Police Department posts. Even with every relaxation, the maximum age cannot cross 45 years.

Police posts need 153 cm, and ST women need 151 cm.
Selection Process
The Mandal will hold a multiple-choice written exam. Each correct answer earns one mark, and each wrong answer costs one-fourth mark. Minimum qualifying marks are 33 percent for the unreserved category and 23 percent for reserved categories and Divyang candidates.
For the seven Home and Police post types, a second stage of physical standards follows. Candidates are called in a number equal to 15 times the vacancies. Final allotment lists are issued post-wise with no waiting list. The syllabus is on the Mandal's website, not in the notification.
