Why Was the JSSC Assistant Jailor PET Rescheduled?
Both notices cite likely heavy rain from Cyclone ‘Arnav’. For Ranchi, the Commission acted on a letter from the office of the Director General and Inspector General of Police, Jharkhand. For Hazaribag, it also cites a wet ground and a letter from the office of the Superintendent of Police, Hazaribag, who is Chairman of Selection Board-02.
Do Candidates Need to Download the PET Admit Card Again?
The notices say candidates are not required to download the admit card again. Keep using the admit card you already have and check your Selection Board and its new date in the table above. Neither notice prints a reporting time.
PET Standards in the Notification
As the recruitment notification sets it, the PET is qualifying in nature and its marks are not added to the final merit list. Male candidates must run 1 mile (1600 meters) in 6 minutes, and female candidates 1 mile in 10 minutes. Only candidates who qualify in the PET are eligible for the next stage.
What’s Next After the PET
The notices give no date for the next stage. The Commission asks candidates to check its official website (link in Essential Links below) regularly for further notices.
