What are the Height, Chest and Walking Test Rules for Van Rakshak & Kshetra Rakshak PPT 2026?
The Forest Department conducts the test for Van Rakshak, and MP Rajya Van Vikas Nigam conducts it for Kshetra Rakshak. Both posts follow the same height, chest and walking rules.
| Requirement | Male | Female |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 163 cm | 150 cm |
| Height (SC/ST) | 152 cm | 145 cm |
| Chest | 79 cm, minimum 5 cm expansion | Not required |
| Walking Test | 25 km in 4 hours | 14 km in 4 hours |
In Naxal-affected areas of Madhya Pradesh, the chest is relaxed by 5 cm (74 cm unexpanded / 79 cm expanded). The walking test is qualifying only, and no marks are given for it.
Rules That Can Cost Forest Post Candidates the Seat
| Condition | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Who is called | Only candidates within 5 times the posts in each category, on merit (district-wise for Van Rakshak, state-level for Kshetra Rakshak); just scoring 33% or 23% does not make you eligible |
| Attendance | Appearing in the physical test and walking test is compulsory; without it you are not eligible for appointment |
| Reporting time | Reach the venue 60 minutes before the walk starts |
| Late arrival | Entry is allowed up to 30 minutes after the start, with no extra time; after 30 minutes you are not allowed to walk |
| No second walk | No candidate is allowed a second attempt at the walking test |
| Re-measurement | Not satisfied with your measurement? Give a written request on the spot; an appellate committee with a doctor re-measures, its decision is final, and no further re-measurement is allowed |
| Pregnancy | A woman found 12 weeks or more pregnant is declared temporarily unfit and re-examined six weeks after delivery, on a fitness certificate from a registered medical practitioner |
Print your call letter early, and start practising long walks now so the distance feels routine on test day.
