Physical endurance and measurement test (PE&MT)
The PE&MT is held by Delhi Police in Delhi and is qualifying only. You first run 1,600 metres; only those who pass the race go on to the long jump and then the high jump, each with three chances. There is no appeal against disqualification in the race or jumps. The physical measurement is taken only of candidates who pass the endurance test.
Women who are pregnant, have recently delivered or had a miscarriage at the time of the PE&MT are declared temporarily unfit; their vacancy is kept in reserve and they are re-tested six weeks after the confinement period (six months after delivery, 45 days after a miscarriage) with a fitness certificate.
If you are declared not qualified in height or chest, you may appeal the same day to the appellate authority through the presiding officer; that decision is final.
