Delhi Police Adjusts SI Training Schedule: New Recruits to Begin in August

For those aspiring to don the Delhi Police uniform as Sub-Inspectors, there's been a slight, but important, update regarding their basic training. The Delhi Police has officially announced a deferment for the joining date of recruits selected through the SI (Executive) Examination, 2024. Originally slated to begin their foundational training on July 2, 2024, at the Delhi Police Academy in Jharoda Kalan, these new entrants will now commence their journey a little later, on August 1st.

The reason for this change, as communicated, boils down to 'administrative reasons'—a phrase we often hear, you know, when schedules need a bit of adjusting behind the scenes. It means the Delhi Police, along with the Staff Selection Commission (SSC), which conducts this significant national-level recruitment, is likely ensuring everything is perfectly aligned before these future officers step into their demanding roles. This deferment specifically impacts those candidates who successfully cleared the SSC SI (Executive) in Delhi Police and CAPF Examination, 2024.

Just a short while ago, on June 21, 2024, an official notice had directed these successful candidates to report to the Delhi Police Academy in Jharoda Kalan by July 2. Now, with this update, recruits should certainly mark August 1st on their calendars as their new reporting date. It’s always a good idea, in situations like these, to keep a very close eye on the official Delhi Police website, delhipolice.gov.in, for any further communications or clarifications, because that's where all the definitive news will land.

It’s worth remembering that the SSC SI Exam is quite a big deal across the country. It's not just about finding Sub-Inspectors for the Delhi Police; it also recruits for various Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), including the BSF, CRPF, ITBP, SSB, and CISF. The selection process itself is rigorous, involving a Paper I, followed by a Physical Endurance Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST), then a Paper II, and finally a comprehensive Medical Examination. So, these recruits have already navigated a challenging path to get here, and a minor date adjustment is just another part of the journey, I suppose.
