Subject-Wise Syllabus Topics (Indicative Scope)

PET - No Race, Sirf Measurement
Sabse bada difference: is post me koi running/jump/shot-put NAHI. PET me sirf height/chest/weight verify hota hai, aur inke koi marks nahi (qualifying only):
| Parameter | UR/BC Male | EBC/SC/ST Male | Female |
|---|---|---|---|
| Height | 165 cm | 160 cm | 155 cm |
| Chest | 81-86 cm | SC/ST 79-84 cm | N/A |
| Weight | - | - | Min 48 kg |
Chest me min 5 cm expansion zaroori (males). Iske baad medical (vision, colour blindness, hearing, stammering, flat-foot, knock-knee).
Final Merit Kaise Banti
- 100% Mains ke marks se (Paper-1 + Paper-2), category-wise
- PET ka zero weight - sirf qualify karna hai
- Tie-breaker: (1) zyada umar upar, (2) higher qualification, (3) naam ka Hindi-alphabetical order
Regular Daroga SI Se Kaise Alag?
| Special Branch (ye) | Regular Bihar Police SI | |
|---|---|---|
| PET | Sirf measurement, no race | Running + jump + shot put |
| PET marks | Zero (qualifying) | Qualifying gate |
| Mains Paper-2 | Descriptive (essay/precis/translation) | Nahi |
| Merit | 100% written | Written + physical clear |
Special Branch intelligence/desk role hai, isliye descriptive language paper (report-writing skill) test hota - regular armed-police SI me ye emphasis nahi.
