First let us know the pattern of CPF written Exam.

UPSC CPF Exam pattern:
The selection process of UPSC CPF exam consists of three stages:
1.0 Written test of 450 marks.
2.0 Physical Efficiency Tests (PETs).
3.0 Interview of 150 marks.

CPF Exam Written test pattern:
There are two papers in the UPSC CPF Written Exam:
Paper I: General Ability and Intelligence: 250 marks, 125 questions (2 hours).
Paper II: General Studies, Essay and Comprehension - 200 Marks (3 hours)
There is negative mark in Paper-I: 1/3rd mark for each wrong answer.
You can find more details on CPF exam pattern from following table:


What is CPF PET?
Subsequent to the CPF Written test, on being shortlisted for the interview, you at first have to clear the CPF PET (Physical Efficiency Tests). You have to clear the  minimum physical standard as you have to serve the best police organisations in India.

This is in addition to the minimum physical eligibility during application stage as given in the notification.

Subsequent to qualifying the CPF PET, you would be called for UPSC CPF Interview for 150 marks. The merit list is based on thus a total of 600 marks (Written: 450 + Interview: 150).
