The Physical Efficiency Test, which runs from 25–28 July, isn’t just another formality; it’s where many get eliminated. Why? Because the weight-carrying task comes first. Lift 35kg for 100m in 2 minutes; no breaks, no drops. Fail here, and you’re out before even hitting the 1km run. For women, it’s 20kg and a 5:40 run. Sounds simple? Thousands fail. And here’s the catch; while Prayagraj’s dates are locked, 14 other zones haven’t even announced their PET schedules yet. So if you’re not in Prayagraj, don’t relax. Check your zone daily. Bring your printed admit card, original ID, and wear proper sports gear; no sneakers? You might get turned away. This is the stage where hard work meets endurance. Pass it, and you’re closer to that railway job. Fail? You’ll be back at square one. Don’t let your dream crash at the finish line.
