What are the UP Police Constable PET Standards 2026?
The PET is qualifying in nature. Candidates who do not finish the run within the time allowed will not be eligible for recruitment.
| Candidate | Distance | Time Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Male | 4.8 km | 25 minutes |
| Female | 2.4 km | 14 minutes |
Timing is electronic, not manual. The Board uses standard electronic timing equipment with CCTV coverage, and biometrics with adequate backup, to prevent impersonation. The PET is run in each district or commissionerate by a committee made up of an SDM (Deputy Collector) nominated by the DM, a Deputy SP nominated by the police chief, and a medical officer nominated by the CMO. The pass and fail list is signed jointly by the committee, and the result is shown on the notice board at the venue at the end of each day.
What Rules Must You Follow on UP Police PET Day?
- Appear on your scheduled date only. No candidate gets a chance to take the PET after the last date or reserve day, and this applies to women candidates too, whether because of pregnancy or any other reason.
- If you miss your slot, you can give a representation to the district committee on the exam day itself, in person or through a representative, with detailed reasons. Representations sent by post, email or any other channel, or to anyone other than the committee, will not be considered. You get only one extra chance, never beyond the last date or reserve day, and if you are absent on the rescheduled date you are treated as failed. No representation is accepted after your scheduled date.
- No second attempt. A candidate who fails to meet the standard gets no second chance, and no appeal for a re-test is allowed on health or any other grounds.
- No steroids, stimulants or intoxicants. Taking them during the PET is misconduct; the Board will get it tested, cancel the candidature of such candidates, and take legal action.
- Follow the admit card instructions exactly. The candidate is responsible for any failure to comply.
