Police Constable PET/PST Guide 2026: Race, Height, Chest Standards & Admit Cards
Police Constable recruitment (state police, Delhi Police, CAPFs via SSC GD) filters written-qualified candidates through Physical Efficiency Test (race) and Physical Standard Test (height/chest/weight), then medical. Standards differ by gender, category and force – the figures on YOUR admit card and notification govern, never summaries.
What Gets Tested
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| PET (Race) | Timed race over the notified distance – qualify within the cut-off time for your gender/category |
| PST | Height, chest (male, unexpanded/expanded) and weight measurement against force standards |
| DME/RME | Medical fitness incl. vision, flat-foot, knock-knee and tattoo policy review |
Admit Cards & Preparation
- Separate PET/PST admit cards release after written results – download from the recruiting board portal in its window.
- Build race stamina progressively on tracks; verify height/chest at home in advance to avoid surprises.
- Carry admit printout, original ID, photos and category/domicile originals to the venue; report at reporting time.
