Physical Standards (Height & Chest)
Physical standards are checked at the Document Verification / Physical Measurement Test stage. Candidates who don't meet the physical standards are disqualified from further selection.
| Category | Height | Chest | Chest Note |
|---|
| Male — General / OBC / EWS | 168 cm | 81 cm (unexpanded) / 86 cm (expanded) | 5 cm expansion mandatory |
| Male — SC / ST (specified areas) | 160 cm | 79 cm (unexpanded) / 84 cm (expanded) | 5 cm expansion mandatory |

| Female — SC / ST | 145 cm | N/A | N/A |
| Female — Divorcée / Widow | As per category height | N/A | N/A |
Key Point: Chest measurement is only for male candidates. The 5 cm expansion is mandatory — candidates who pass 81→86 cm are eligible. Failing the chest expansion requirement disqualifies despite meeting height.
Physical Efficiency Test (PET)
The PET is conducted after the written exam. It is qualifying in nature — no marks are awarded. Candidates get three attempts for each event. Failing any event = disqualification.
