What Happens in the Physical Test?
The physical test has two stages — the Physical Efficiency Test (PET), which is the race, and the Physical Standard Test (PST), which measures height, chest and weight. The PET is qualifying only — its marks do not count towards merit — but failing the race means immediate elimination.
PET — Race Standards
| Category | Male | Female |
|---|---|---|
| All regions except Ladakh | 5 km in 24 minutes | 1.6 km in 8 minutes 30 seconds |
| Ladakh region candidates | 1.6 km in 7 minutes | 800 metres in 5 minutes |
There is no appeal against the PET race, so arrive fully prepared on the day.
PST — Height and Chest Standards
| Standard | Male | Female |
|---|---|---|
| Height (general) | 170 cm | 157 cm |
| Chest (unexpanded) | 80 cm | Not applicable |
| Chest expansion | Minimum 5 cm | Not applicable |
| Scheduled Tribes (ST) | Height 162.5 cm, chest 76 cm | Height 150 cm |
Relaxation in height and chest is available for certain categories and regions as per the rules. Candidates who fail the PST height or chest standards may appeal on the same day.
