Physical Efficiency Test (PET) Criteria

Candidates passing the CBT must clear the PET, which is qualifying in nature.

ЁЯПГ For Male Candidates
  • Lift and carry 35 Kg for 100 meters in 2 minutes without putting it down.
  • Run 1000 meters in 4 minutes and 15 seconds (one chance).

  • Lift and carry 20 Kg for 100 meters in 2 minutes without putting it down.
  • Run 1000 meters in 5 minutes and 40 seconds (one chance).

Preparation Strategy: How to Score 80+?

  • Science is Key: With 25 marks, Science is the game changer. Stick strictly to NCERT Books of Class 9 and 10. Do not skip numericals in Physics.
  • Reasoning Speed: Reasoning (30 marks) is the highest weightage section. Practice 1 hour daily to improve speed in coding-decoding and series.
  • Mock Tests: Attempt at least one full-length mock test every week. Analyze your weak areas.
  • Previous Year Papers: Solve past years’ papers to understand the difficulty level and repeating patterns.
