SSC GD Physical Test 2026: PET and PST Details

The physical examination consists of the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST). Both stages are strictly qualifying in nature. 

SSC GD Physical Efficiency Test (PET) 2026

The PET requires candidates to clear a running event within a strict time limit. The parameters differ based on gender and region. 

SSC GD Physical Standard Test (PST) 2026

During the PST, candidates are measured for height, weight, and chest expansion (males only) to ensure they meet standard baseline requirements. 

Ralaxation in Physical Standards

The following relaxations in height and chest measurements apply to specific eligible categories (such as ST candidates) and regional demographics as detailed in the official SSC GD recruitment notification. 

Height Relaxation Standards 

Chest Relaxation Standards (Male Candidates Only) 

Note: Candidates claiming height or chest relaxation must produce the prescribed supporting certificates during Document Verification. 

What Happens After SSC GD Physical Test 2026?

Candidates who successfully qualify the PET/PST stage advance to the Detailed Medical Examination (DME) and Document Verification (DV). 

• DME: Candidates are assessed against strict CAPF medical fitness standards to ensure they are physically fit for active duty.
• DV: Authorities will verify original educational certificates, caste/category certificates, domicile certificates, and identity documents.

Final selection is based on the candidate's normalized score in the Computer-Based Examination, provided they clear all physical and medical qualifying stages. 

SSC GD Physical Test Preparation Tips

With tests expected in November, candidates must utilize the remaining time efficiently:

• Running Practice: Consistently practice the 5 km (or 1.6 km) distance. Use a stopwatch to track pacing and build endurance gradually. Do not wait until the last week to start running.
• Injury Prevention: Incorporate dynamic warm-ups before running and static stretches afterward. Avoid sudden spikes in training intensity right before the test date to prevent shin splints or muscle strains.
• Nutrition & Hydration: Maintain a balanced diet rich in protein and complex carbohydrates. Stay adequately hydrated, especially on training days.
• Document Readiness: Compile all necessary original documents, IDs, and photocopies in advance so you are not scrambling the day before the test.
