PET will consist of three events namely, 1600mts/800mts run, High Jump and Long

Jump. A candidate has to qualify in all the three events as shown in the table given

below. No marks shall be awarded to any of the events. The minimum qualifying

Only those applicants who qualify in the Written Examination shall be called for PET

the number of candidates to be called for PET and Physical Measurement will be

decided in such a way that candidates, to the extent of three times the number of

notified vacancies in each category, are selected purely on the basis of merit to appear

for viva-voce and documents verification.

any of the events of the PET or in physical measurement, either of height or chest, will

be declared ‘fail’ and shall be escorted out of the venue after putting an indelible ink
