D. Personality Test: (Total Marks: 30): Candidates who pass the Final Combined Competitive Examination will be invited to take the Personality Test. WBPRB administers a personality assessment test, and candidates must score 8 out of 30 to pass. If they do not, they will be disqualified. Their paperwork will also be verified at this time. The ability of the candidate to speak Bengali fluently will be assessed in this Personality Test.
Note:
The personality test has a minimum passing score of 8 out of 30.
Candidates who do not pass the personality exam with a minimal score will be disqualified (irrespective of the marks obtained in the Final Combined Competitive Examination).
The final merit list will be compiled using the total marks earned by selected applicants in the three papers of the Final Combined Competitive Examination as well as the results of the Personality Test. Candidates who do not achieve the required passing score on the personality test will be rejected.
If two or more applicants receive the same total (aggregate) marks in the Final Combined Competitive Examination, their seniority in the final merit/selection list will be determined by their marks in the Final Combined Competitive Examination. The candidate with the highest score in the Final Combined Competitive Examination will be placed first on the Merit List. If the candidates’ grades in Paper-I (General Studies & Arithmetic) of the Final Combined Competitive Examination are the same, seniority will be determined by the candidates’ marks in Paper-I (General Studies & Arithmetic) of the Final Combined Competitive Examination. In the Merit List, the candidate with the highest score in Paper I (General Studies & Arithmetic) in the Final Combined Competitive Examination would be given priority. If the marks obtained in Paper I (General Studies and Arithmetic) of the Final Combined Competitive Examination are also equal, seniority will be established by age. In the Merit List, the applicant who is older will be ranked higher than the others. The Board will decide on the concept of determining seniority if the dates of birth are the same.
Shortlisted candidates from Darjeeling and Kalimpong districts’ Hill Sub-Divisions must present their domicile certificate for document verification during the Personality Test.

Study Plan to Maximise Score
Preparation Tips
A specific study plan and preparation technique is required to pass the WB Police SI Prelims. It is important to understand your strengths and weaknesses before preparing for the exam.
Logical & Analytical Reasoning
This section is very scoring. Candidates must concentrate on the questions designed to evaluate their mental abilities. Candidates must practice puzzles, coding-decoding, and mirror problems. Candidates should read the questions carefully to avoid confusions.
Arithmetic
This section requires a lot of practice on a regular basis. Candidates should study the formulas extensively. Candidates should practise with a time constraint and pay attention to the time and speed with which they answer the questions. Candidates should practise these parts extensively. It covers topics such as Square Root, Trigonometry, Polygons as well as the relationship between them, Time and Distance, Ratio and Proportion, and more. Use the MCQ question’s value of options to your advantage.
Exam Taking Strategy
Below we have provided some of the exam taking strategy for WB Police SI exams:
When we take example of professional sportsmen, singers, and actors, it’s clear why they achieve success in their respective industries solely via constant practice. Malcolm Gladwell, a psychologist, once advocated the 10,000-hour rule, which states that a person becomes an expert in any profession after 10,000 hours of effort.
Attempting mock test will give you a fair idea about the real exams. The questions in the mock test are in the same format as the real exam, and you must answer them in the same amount of time. A mock test will give you a good idea of what to expect in the real exam.
A mock test will help you identify areas of difficulty while also assuring you that you understand all the concepts thoroughly.
It’s critical to believe in yourself in order to acquire good grades in the exam and gain a better understanding of various topics. This will not only help you in acing your exam but will also benefit you in the long run. Always remember to plan ahead of time and work hard to reach your goals.
Detailed Study plan
A proper and managed plan surely helps overcome exam fear. Some of the important factors that are required are given below:
Time Management: Time management is important as it gives you a fair idea about your preparations. This factor can be improved by practising a lot of problems within a limited time.
Accuracy: Accuracy is one of the crucial factors for this exam because there is always a penalty for wrong attempts. So, do not try to mark random guesses.
Sectional Test: Sectional tests are very important as they help in practising a complete section covering all the questions based on it. They aim at strengthening and clearing your concepts regarding a single subject. So, try to answer one sectional test for each section daily.
Mock Test: Mock tests allow students to track our progress and find your weaknesses and strengths regarding each topic. By giving mock tests, you can become aware of many different types of questions before the exam. Also, devote some time to yoga and meditation, which help to improve concentration and reduce stress and anxiety.

Eligibility Criteria
Age Criteria
As of January 1, 2022, the candidates age must not be less than 20 years and more than 27 years. The candidate’s upper age limit might be relaxed by 5 years (for SC and ST tribes) and 3 years (for other tribes) (for OBC candidates of only West Bengal). The upper age limit for departmental candidates (of the Kolkata Police) is decreased to 35 years (if having requisite qualification). The upper age limit for departmental candidates would be lowered by 5 years for SC/ST applicants and 3 years for OBC applicants.
Note:
Only the date of birth as recorded in Madhyamik or a similar admit card/certificate will be considered as acceptable proof of age.
If shortlisted for Personality Test, an OBC-A or OBC-B candidate must present a revalidated/renewed or new OBC-A / OBC-B certificate issued by the competent authorities within 01 (one) year prior to 01.01.2022 during testimonial verification at the time of Personality Test. As a result, certificates issued before January 1, 2020, must be revalidated/renewed by the relevant authorities. Candidates who do not present a revalidated/renewed OBC-A/OBC-B certificate will not be classified as OBC-A or OBC-B, respectively. They may, however, be considered UR if they receive equal or higher marks than the final picked candidates in the UR category and are otherwise eligible for UR candidates in terms of age limit. OBC certificates that do not specify the relevant category (OBC-A/OBC-B) would be considered invalid.
If a candidate from the OBC-A/OBC-B category claims a relaxation in the higher age limit when submitting an application, but fails to present a revalidated/renewed OBC-A/OBC-B certificate when taking the Personality Test, his/her candidature will be summarily dismissed.
If selected for the Personality Test, applicants employed in any government organisation, as well as departmental applicants in Kolkata Police, must present a “No Objection Certificate” from the head of the office/disciplinary authority.
Education Qualification
Candidates for this position must hold a bachelor’s degree from a recognised university (in any discipline). Candidates who are still pursuing their 3rd year undergraduate degree course or have appeared in the final year examination may also apply for the examination.
Number of Attempts
Departmental candidates who have previously appeared three times in the recruitment process for Sub-Inspector/Sub-Inspectress (Unarmed Branch) and Sergeant in Kolkata Police (conducted by PSC or formerly KPRB) will be ineligible to apply.
Language Proficiency
The candidate must be able to communicate in Bengali and read and write it fluently (not applicable for permanent residents of hill sub-divisions of Darjeeling and Kalimpong Districts).
The West Bengal Official Language Act, 1961, would apply to applicants from Darjeeling and Kalimpong District’s hill sub-divisions.
Note:
On or before the date of publication of the advertisement, the applicants must possess the above-mentioned qualifications.
If it is discovered during the verification of testimonials at any stage that any candidate has obtained the above-mentioned qualifications after the date of publication of this post, his or her nomination will be summarily dismissed.
Admit Card
Admit Card Release Date
The admission card for WB Police Constable will be released a few days before the commencement of the examination! The admit card for the WB Police Sub-Inspector, Sub-Inspectress and Sergeant Exam 2022 will be officially posted on the West Bengal Police website. The West Bengal Police Recruitment Board (WBPRB) will release the announcement for WB Police Recruitment. WB Govt. will fill vacant Constable and Sub Inspector positions through this recruitment. Sub Inspector (SI), Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI), Staff Officer-cum-Instructor, Excise Constable, Lady Constable, and other West Bengal Police positions are up for grabs.
Ways to Download Admit Card
Candidates must download their WB Police SI admit cards prior to the exam date in order to appear in the exam. No candidate will be allowed to take the exam unless they have an Admit Card. The Admit Card will be available for download on the WBPRB official website soon, hence all applicants are recommended to keep checking the WBPRB official website.
Step 1: Go to http://wbpolice.gov.in for the first step. Step 2: Click on the link that says “Recruitment for the post of Sub Inspector in West Bengal Police” under the “Recruitment” category. Step 3: You’ll be redirected to a new page. Select “Download Admit Cards” from the drop-down menu. Step 4: You’ll be redirected to a new tab after that. “Click Here to Download Call Letter for the Post of Sub Inspector” is the link to use. Step 5: Type in your application number and birthday. Step 6: Select “Click Here” from the drop-down menu. Step 7: Your admit card will appear as a pdf file in a new tab. Step 8: Print copies of your admit card after downloading it.
Cut-off
Expected Cut-off
The projected cut-off scores for the WB Police SI Exam are determined by a variety of circumstances, but we have created a list of expected cutoff marks for the WBPRB SI Recruitment exam this year. This list is simply indicative because it is based on the prior year’s trends. After the appropriate selection stage is completed, the WBPRB releases the actual cut-off marks.
