Selection Process for SSB Constable (GD) 2026

The selection is multi-stage and tests your physical fitness, written ability, and medical fitness. There is no interview round for this post.

1. Physical Standard Test (PST) — Height, chest measurements, and weight will be checked. You must meet the prescribed physical standards to proceed further.
2. Physical Efficiency Test (PET) — This includes running, long jump, high jump, and similar physical tasks. Candidates are assessed on their fitness and speed.
3. Written Examination — A written test covering general knowledge, basic reasoning, and related topics. This round determines your merit ranking.
4. Documentation — Original certificates and documents will be verified. Any discrepancy in documents can lead to disqualification.
5. Detailed Medical Examination (DME) — A thorough medical check to ensure you meet the health standards required for paramilitary service.
6. Review Medical Examination (RME) — If you are not satisfied with the DME result, you may be eligible for a review medical examination. This is typically the final stage.

⚠️ Start your physical preparation now. The PST and PET are eliminating rounds — many candidates fall out here despite clearing the written test. Don’t underestimate the fitness requirements.
