During the PST, officials measure height, chest expansion (for male candidates), and body weight (for female candidates) using calibrated digital measuring devices.
| Category | Gender | Minimum Height | Chest Requirement | Min. Body Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General / OBC / SC | Male | 168 cm | 79 cm (Unexpanded) / 84 cm (Expanded) | N/A |

| General / OBC / SC | Female | 152 cm | N/A | 40 kg |
| ST | Female | 147 cm | N/A | 40 kg |
Note: A minimum chest expansion of 5 cm is mandatory for all male candidates, regardless of initial chest width.
2. Physical Efficiency Test (PET) Endurance Running
Candidates who clear the document verification and PST measurement proceed to the endurance running round.
- Male Candidates: 4.8 Kilometers within 25 Minutes.
- Female Candidates: 2.4 Kilometers within 14 Minutes.
Running events are tracked using RFID timing chips attached to ankle straps or chest bibs. Failing to complete the specified distance within the allotted time leads to immediate disqualification.
