Physical tests for SSC MTS Havaldar are underway from August 24 to 31, 2026. Candidates shortlisted must confirm their exact date, centre and admit card now. Regional portals have begun releasing hall tickets and instructions. Missing a slot or standard leads to disqualification, so verify details early.
Remember what this stage evaluates. CBIC and CBN conduct a Physical Efficiency Test and Physical Standard Test. PET is a walking test, not a race. PST checks height, chest and weight, with notified relaxations. These benchmarks come straight from the latest SSC MTS Havaldar notice.

Admit cards are issued region-wise. Check your regional SSC site: Northern, North Western, Western, Central, Eastern, North Eastern, Southern, Karnataka-Kerala and Madhya Pradesh Regions. Western and Central Regions have activated call letter panels with roll and name searches. Keep your date of birth handy while logging in.
Carry a printed admit card, one original photo ID, and two recent photos. Bring category, domicile or relaxation certificates, if claimed. PwBD candidates seeking walking exemption must carry a government medical certificate. Dress light with non-spike sports shoes. Avoid smartwatches, metal accessories and bulky bags to speed frisking.
Know the exact standards. Male candidates must walk 1600 metres in 15 minutes. Females must walk one kilometre in 20 minutes. PST needs 157.5 cm height and 81 cm chest for males, with five centimetres expansion. Females need 152 cm height and 48 kg weight, with notified community relaxations.
If your admit card is not visible, recheck under your region’s login. Use the ‘know your roll’ search if you forgot the number. Still missing a week before your date, contact the Regional Office with application proof. At venue, report equipment faults immediately and request recording; supervisors can escalate for retest where procedures permit.
Expect morning or afternoon batches, traffic checks, heat or sudden rain. Plan travel buffers, carry water, a small towel and a zip folder for documents. Reach early, follow marshals and maintain pacing during the walk. The window closes on August 31, 2026, so confirm your slot and standards today.
