Paper II for recruitment of sub-inspectors in Delhi Police, CAPFs and Assistant Sub-inspector in CISF, 2015 was conducted on August 30, between 2:00 P.M. and 4:00 P.M.

The questions based on Reading Comprehension were direct. There was no inference based question.
One particular Cloze Test was quite difficult. A student would have taken a lot of time in order to identify the correct answer. So it would have been better to leave the passage then and come back to it once the other questions were finished.
All in all, the paper was of moderate level of difficulty. A total of 100-120 attempts can be said to be a good attempt.
