UPSC CAPF Assistant Commandant candidates have little time to spare. Physical Standard Test and Physical Efficiency Test admit cards are live for written‑qualified candidates, with tests scheduled from October 13 to 16, 2026. The release went public around September 30; download from the official SSB recruitment portal immediately.

Only roll numbers shortlisted after the July 19 written exam can access the call letter. UPSC has also asked qualified candidates to complete the 15‑day post‑result update window and keep a printout of the submitted form ready for verification during PST/PET.

UPSC CAPF CAPF PST/PET dates, venue access, and reporting rules

Admit cards mention the exact CAPF centre, date, and reporting time for October 13–16. Candidates must carry the e‑admit card and a printout of the final submitted form, along with a valid photo ID, to the allotted venue. Regularly check the SSB portal and your email’s spam folder for updates.

UPSC CAPF height, chest and weight standards

Measurements are strict and taken before PET events. Minimum height is 165 cm for men and 157 cm for women. Men require 81 cm unexpanded chest with at least 5 cm expansion. Baseline weights are 50 kg for men and 46 kg for women, subject to age‑height proportion charts.

UPSC CAPF race and jump events to clear

The PET is qualifying. Men must complete 100 metres in 16 seconds and 800 metres in 3 minutes 45 seconds, plus long jump of 3.5 metres. Women must finish 100 metres in 18 seconds, 800 metres in 4 minutes, and long jump of 3.0 metres. Men also attempt 7.26 kg shot put for 4.5 metres.

Documents, dress and common disqualifiers

Carry the SSB e‑admit card, printed post‑result form, original photo ID, and original supporting certificates for age, degree, category and EWS claims, with photocopies. Wear simple sportswear and running shoes; avoid gadgets and jewellery. Misreporting pregnancy invites penalties; pregnant candidates may be declared temporarily unfit and rescheduled post‑confinement.

DME sequence, contingency and quick troubleshooting

Under the 2026 rules, Detailed Medical Examination and Review Medical Examination follow the Interview/Personality Test, not PST/PET. If weather disrupts scheduling, monitor the SSB site for notices.
