Delhi Police Physical Re-Schedule Notice Out: Important PE&MT Dates for All Posts

• According to the latest official release, candidates can now check the complete Delhi Police Physical Re-Schedule Notice on the official recruitment portal.

• If you have been preparing relentlessly for the Delhi Police Physical Endurance & Measurement Test (PE&MT), the past few weeks have undoubtedly been stressful. The extreme weather and heavy rainfall across Delhi-NCR in late August caused severe waterlogging at the Wazirabad and Jharoda Kalan police grounds. Muddy and slippery running tracks resulted in injuries, slipping, and a drop in performance—even candidates who consistently clocked 5 minutes 50 seconds for the 1600m race struggled to finish on time due to shoes getting stuck in the mud.

• Prioritizing candidate safety, the Delhi Police Recruitment Cell made the right call by temporarily halting the physical tests. The department has now officially released the Revised PE&MT Schedule for all four ongoing recruitment drives: Constable (Executive), Head Constable (Ministerial), Head Constable (AWO/TPO), and Constable (Driver).

“The Delhi Police Physical Re-Schedule Notice provides the full revised ground routine.”

• If your physical test was postponed due to the rain, it is time to get back on the track. Below is the complete breakdown of the new dates, mandatory admit card rules, and the exact ground standards you need to meet.
• The authorities published the Delhi Police Physical Re-Schedule Notice to update candidates about the fresh PE&MT ground dates.

“Candidates are advised to safely keep the NEET PG Admit Card 2026 until the counseling process ends.”

Candidates aiming for a career in defence forces should carefully review all guidelines for the Delhi Police Recruitment 2026 before submitting their forms.

Delhi Police PE&MT 2026: Fast Overview

Revised Physical Test Dates (Post-Wise Schedule)

To avoid overcrowding, the department has allocated specific time slots for each post. Please note your respective new reporting dates carefully:

⚠️ Crucial Clarification (Who Needs to Go?): A common doubt among candidates is whether those who already completed their physicals need to reappear. The answer is NO. Candidates whose PE&MT was successfully conducted before August 22, 2026 (whether they qualified or were disqualified) are not required to attend again. This revised schedule is strictly for the remaining candidates whose tests were officially cancelled between August 22 and September 1 due to bad weather.

Eligibility Criteria for Delhi Police Recruitment 2026

Candidates interested in applying must satisfy the required educational qualifications and valid driving licence standards set for the Delhi Police Recruitment 2026:

• Educational Qualification: Candidates must have passed 10+2 (Senior Secondary / Intermediate) from a recognized education board or institution.
• Driving Licence (For Male Candidates): Male applicants must possess a valid Light Motor Vehicle (LMV – Motorcycle or Car) Driving Licence on the date of PE&MT to be eligible under the Delhi Police Recruitment 2026. (Learner licence is strictly not acceptable).
• Nationality: The applicant must be a citizen of India.
• Physical & Medical Fitness: Candidates must satisfy the mandatory sound medical, eyesight, and physical measurement criteria established for the Delhi Police Recruitment 2026.

Mandatory Rule: Download Fresh Admit Cards

The official notice explicitly states that candidates must arrive at the ground with a Fresh e-Admission Certificate (Admit Card).

• Old Admit Cards are Invalid: Do not assume that since only the dates have changed, your old admit card will suffice. The entry gates are equipped with digital barcode scanners; scanning an old admit card will throw an error, and you will be denied entry.
• Updated Venue and Time: Your new admit card will feature your updated reporting date, specific reporting time, and exact ground allocation (e.g., Ground-1 or Ground-2).
• Availability: Fresh admit cards will be made live on the official Delhi Police website shortly. Ensure you take at least two clear printouts as soon as the download link is active.

All candidates listed in the Delhi Police Physical Re-Schedule Notice must download their revised admit cards before reporting to the ground.

Ground Standards: What to Expect in the PE&MT

For those appearing for the first time, here is a quick recap of the physical standards you must clear on the ground:

1. 1600 Meters Race:

• Male (Up to 30 years): Must complete the race in exactly 6 Minutes. Taking even 6 minutes and 1 second results in immediate disqualification.
• Female (Up to 30 years): Must complete the race in 8 Minutes. (Note: Departmental candidates and Ex-Servicemen above 30 years receive age-based relaxations of up to 7-8 minutes).

2. Long Jump (3 Chances Allowed):

• Male: 14 Feet | Female: 10 Feet
• Ground Reality: You will be taken to the sandpit shortly after recovering from the race. Do not step on the white foul line. Try to clear the required distance on your very first attempt to ease your nerves.

3. High Jump (3 Chances Allowed):

• Male: 3 Feet 9 Inches | Female: 3 Feet
• You get three attempts. Your body must not touch and knock down the crossbar.

4. Physical Measurement Test (PMT):

• Height: Male – 170 cm (165 cm for ST/Hill Areas) | Female – 157 cm (155 cm for ST/Hill Areas).
• Chest (Males Only): 81 cm unexpanded with a minimum expansion of 5 cm (i.e., up to 85 cm). Practice expanding your chest through deep breathing exercises beforehand.

💡 RK Advice: 5 Essential Ground Reality Tips for Delhi Police PE&MT

• The Original Driving License Mandate (Males Only): Male candidates appearing for Constable (Executive) and Driver posts must carry a valid, original Light Motor Vehicle (LMV) Driving License for cars/motorcycles. Learner’s Licenses (LL) or application fee payment slips are completely invalid and will result in immediate rejection during document verification.
• Waterproof Your Documents: Weather can be unpredictable. Keep your original 10th/12th certificates, Central format Caste Certificates (SC/ST/OBC/EWS), and 5-6 passport-size photographs in a high-quality, waterproof plastic zip folder to protect them from moisture and sweat on the ground.
• Never Run on a Completely Empty Stomach: Gate entry starts at 5:30 AM, but by the time biometric verification and chest number distribution conclude, your race might not start until 8:00 AM or 9:00 AM. Fasting for hours will cause muscle tremors. Carry a couple of bananas, dates, and an ORS/Glucose water bottle in your bag. Eat a banana 40 minutes before your batch runs to maintain energy levels.
• Footwear Selection is Critical: Early morning grass often has dew, making the track slippery. Do not run in flat-soled shoes. Wear shoes with excellent grip, and never wear brand-new shoes on the day of the test. Run in the same shoes you have been practicing in for the last two weeks to avoid blisters.
• Pace Your 1600m Strategically: The race consists of four 400m laps. Do not sprint with all your energy in the first lap. A solid strategy is pacing the first lap at 1:25, the second at 1:30, the third at 1:30, and using all your remaining stamina for a final sprint in the fourth lap.
• You can verify your revised physical endurance date directly through the PDF link provided in the Delhi Police Physical Re-Schedule Notice.
