The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has announced the schedule for the next crucial stages of the RPF Constable recruitment. Candidates who have qualified in the Computer Based Test (CBT) will now appear for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET), Physical Measurement Test (PMT), and Document Verification (DV). These tests are set to take place from **November 13, 2025, to December 6, 2025**.
Who Will Be Tested?
Only candidates who passed the Computer Based Test (CBT) have been shortlisted for these upcoming stages. The list of these candidates is available on the **official RRB website**. All shortlisted applicants must check this list to confirm their eligibility for the PET, PMT, and DV rounds.
Understanding the Physical Tests (PET and PMT)
The physical tests check a candidate's fitness and measurements, both necessary for joining the Railway Protection Force.
Physical Efficiency Test (PET):
The PET evaluates a candidate's physical endurance and speed. It usually includes:
- **Running:** Candidates must complete a set distance within a specific time.
- **Long Jump:** Jumping a certain distance to show leg strength.
- **High Jump:** Clearing a bar at a specific height, testing agility.
Candidates must pass each of these tasks to proceed further in the selection process.
Physical Measurement Test (PMT):
The PMT involves checking a candidate's body measurements against predefined standards. This test typically covers:
- **Height:** Measuring overall height to ensure it meets minimum requirements.
- **Chest Measurement:** For male candidates, both unexpanded and expanded chest measurements are taken.
Meeting these physical measurement standards is compulsory for all candidates.
Document Verification (DV) Process
Document Verification (DV) is where all submitted documents are checked for authenticity and correctness. This process will happen on the **same day** as your PET and PMT. It is very important to bring the following:
- All **original documents** that you mentioned in your application.
- **Two sets of self-attested photocopies** of each original document. 'Self-attested' means you sign on each photocopy yourself.
Key Documents Needed for DV:
- **Educational Certificates:** Such as **10th class mark sheet** and **passing certificate**.
- **Identity Proof:** A government ID like **Aadhaar Card**, **PAN Card**, or **Voter ID**.
- **Caste Certificate:** If you belong to **SC/ST/OBC**, in the Central Government format.
- **Domicile Certificate:** Proof of your place of residence.
- Any other certificates specified in the official RPF recruitment notice.
Make sure all details on your documents match your application form. Discrepancies or missing documents can lead to disqualification.
Important Dates and Test Venues
The PET, PMT, and DV will run from **November 13, 2025, to December 6, 2025**. While this is the overall period, each candidate will receive a specific date, time, and location (venue).
Candidates must visit the **official websites of their respective Railway Recruitment Boards** regularly. Your individual call letter, which contains all specific details, will be available for download online. It is essential to download and print this admit card.
Advice for Shortlisted Candidates
To prepare for these crucial stages, candidates should:
- **Physical Practice:** Begin regular physical training for running and jumping tests.
- **Document Preparation:** Collect all original documents and prepare two sets of self-attested photocopies well in advance.
- **Stay Updated:** Frequently check the official RRB websites for your admit card and any new announcements.
Careful preparation for both physical tests and document checks is key to moving forward in the RPF Constable recruitment process.
