Who Can Appear in the Physical Endurance Test
The Physical Endurance Test is not open to all applicants. It is meant for candidates who cleared the written test and were provisionally allowed to move to the next stage.
The shortlist of roll numbers for General, SC/ST/BC, and Ex-servicemen categories was published on 06 March 2026. Candidates should first verify their roll number in the shortlist PDF and then download the e-admit card once the link becomes active.
If a candidate's roll number is not in the official shortlist, the PET notice does not by itself create eligibility to appear.
Physical Endurance Test Parameters
The Physical Endurance Test is qualifying in nature and consists of three activities: 800 metre race, long jump, and high jump. A candidate must clear every event. If a candidate fails in any one event, he or she is disqualified from the next event.
| Event | 18-30 years | 30-35 years | 35-40 years | 40-45 years | 45-50 years | 50 years and above |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 800 m race - Male | 270 sec | 310 sec | 350 sec | 390 sec | 430 sec | 470 sec |
| 800 m race - Female | 290 sec | 330 sec | 370 sec | 410 sec | 450 sec | 490 sec |
| Long jump - Male | 2.95 m | 2.80 m | 2.65 m | 2.50 m | 2.35 m | 2.20 m |
| Long jump - Female | 1.74 m | 1.60 m | 1.45 m | 1.30 m | 1.15 m | 1.00 m |
| High jump - Male | 1.14 m | 1.10 m | 1.05 m | 1.00 m | 0.95 m | 0.90 m |
| High jump - Female | 0.90 m | 0.85 m | 0.80 m | 0.75 m | 0.70 m | 0.65 m |
The original recruitment notice also states that the long jump and high jump must be qualified within three attempts.
Written Test Pattern and Qualifying Marks
The original recruitment notice prescribed a written test of 100 marks with 50 multiple-choice questions of 2 marks each. The paper covered general knowledge, general awareness, current affairs, and numerical ability. There was no negative marking.
The written test duration was 90 minutes, and the question paper was available in English, Hindi, and Punjabi. General category candidates needed at least 50% marks, while reserved category candidates needed at least 45% marks to be considered for the next stage.
After the written test, candidates equal to 10 times the advertised vacancies, category-wise and excluding the PWD category, were to be called for the Physical Endurance Test in order of written-test merit.
Eligibility Conditions in the Original Peon Notice
For this recruitment, the original detailed employment notice fixed the age range at 18 to 35 years as on 20 September 2024, with category-based relaxations as notified by the High Court.
The qualification rule was specific: the candidate had to possess at least Middle Standard and not more than 10+2 from a recognized school or board. The notice clearly stated that candidates with qualification higher than the prescribed maximum were not eligible for direct recruitment.
These conditions belong to the original recruitment advertisement and are relevant for understanding the background of the current PET stage.
What Candidates Should Check on the E-Admit Card
Once the e-admit card is released, candidates should verify their name, roll details, test date, reporting time, and venue. The PET notice makes it clear that the admit card will also carry other important instructions for the test day.
Candidates should keep their registration number and date of birth ready before opening the portal. They should also follow only the instructions published by the High Court and avoid relying on unofficial screenshots or social media messages.
If there is any discrepancy in the admit card or eligibility status, the safer course is to cross-check the official recruitment page and the documents already uploaded there.
Scorecard Status and What Happens After PET
As of the 06 April 2026 update, the High Court has released the PET schedule and the admit card download date, but it has not issued any separate PET scorecard notice.
For General, SC/ST/BC, and Ex-servicemen categories, the final list of provisionally selected candidates is to be prepared from among those who qualify the Physical Endurance Test, strictly on the basis of their merit in the written test. The PET itself is only qualifying in nature.
The original notice further states that candidates in the PWD category are exempted from clearing the Physical Endurance Test, and those reserved seats are to be filled strictly on the basis of written-test merit.
