How to Prepare for WBP Constable 2026

  1. 1
    Master Bengali and GK first — These two sections together carry 45 marks in the written exam. Bengali is a must-qualify section for most candidates. Focus on WB-specific history, geography, and current affairs alongside national GK.
  2. 2
    Solve previous year WBP Constable papers — Papers from 2019 and 2021 cycles are your best guide to question types, topic distribution, and difficulty. Identify which topics repeat most frequently.
  3. 3
    Attempt 20+ full mock tests — The written exam requires speed within 90 minutes for 100 questions. Regular mock tests build the pace and accuracy needed to score well. Review every wrong answer after each test.
  4. 4
    Prepare for physical fitness in parallel — The PMT and PET stages eliminate many candidates even after clearing the written exam. Start running, stamina-building, and practice the specific physical events from now.
  5. 5
    Keep documents ready — Madhyamik marksheet, age proof, domicile certificate, category certificate (if applicable), and recent photographs. Having all documents ready avoids last-minute rush after the notification is released.
