Next Stage: Physical Efficiency Test (PET) & Physical Standard Test (PST)
Candidates shortlisted based on the Computer-Based Exam cut-offs for Havaldar posts under CBIC & CBN must now appear for the physical evaluation phase.
Physical Efficiency Test (PET) Standards
| Category | Male Standard | Female Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Walking Task | 1,600 meters in 15 minutes | 1,000 meters (1 km) in 20 minutes |
Physical Standard Test (PST) Criteria
| Criteria Parameter | Male Candidates | Female Candidates |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 157.5 cm (Relaxable by 5 cm for Garhwalis, Assamese, Gorkhas, and ST candidates) | 152.0 cm (Relaxable by 2.5 cm for specified categories) |
| Chest Measurement | 81 cm fully expanded (Minimum expansion: 5 cm) | Not Applicable |
| Weight | Not Applicable | 48 kg (Relaxable by 2 kg for specified categories) |
Note: The Physical test is qualifying in nature. Final merit allocation for Havaldar positions relies on normalised Session-II CBE marks, provided the candidate successfully clears PET/PST.
Key Factors That Influenced the Cut-Off Scores
- State-Wise Vacancy Allocations: Prefaces with fewer localized seat allotments (e.g., Delhi, Lucknow) naturally drove up the minimum qualifying cutoff.
- Normalized Session II Scores: Final merit ranking utilizes normalized scores strictly from Session II (General Awareness & English Language).
- Number of Exam Candidates: High candidate density in Northern administrative divisions elevated cut-offs significantly above national medians.
