Written exam: minimum 40% required to pass (both figures appear to be fixed qualifying thresholds per secondary sources, not pure merit-only — but exact wording/consistency across recruitment cycles not independently confirmed).

FAQs
Do I take the written exam or the physical test first for Maharashtra Police Bharti?
Unlike most other state police recruitments, Maharashtra runs the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST) BEFORE the written exam — you must clear the physical round (minimum 50%) to even sit for the written test.
What language is the written exam conducted in?
Marathi — the paper is set in Marathi, so candidates should be comfortable reading and answering in that language.
Is there negative marking in the Maharashtra Police Constable written exam?
This was not confirmed in available sources — treat it as unknown and check the specific recruitment notification (policerecruitment2025.mahait.org) rather than assuming either way.
How are PET marks distributed?
Out of 50 total marks: running (1600m for men/800m for women) is worth 20 marks, the 100m sprint is worth 15 marks, and shot put is worth 15 marks — faster times and longer throws score progressively higher within each band.
