For male candidates, the test entails a 1.6 km run that must be completed within 6 minutes. Female candidates must complete an 800-meter run within 4 minutes and 45 seconds. Achieving these benchmarks in the PET is essential for progression to the subsequent stages of the recruitment process.

Physical Standards Test (PST)-Candidates who clear the PET must undergo the Physical Standards Test (PST). This test assesses candidates against specific physical criteria. Candidates must meet the height and chest measurements appropriate for their category. Male candidates from most states must have a minimum height of 165cm and a chest measurement of 77cm unexpanded and 82cm expanded. Female candidates have different criteria outlined in the official notice of BSF.

The physical standards for female candidates in CAPF recruitment differ by category. General candidates must have a minimum height of 165 cm. For those from specific regions (e.g., Garhwal, Kumaon, Gorkha, Dogra, Maratha) and certain northern and northeastern states, the minimum height is 162.5 cm. Female candidates from Scheduled Tribes or specified regions have a reduced height requirement of 150 cm. Chest measurements are generally applicable only to male candidates.

Computer-Based Test (CBT) Pattern-Candidates who qualify in the PST and PET will be invited to take the Computer Based Test (CBT). This exam consists of 100 objective-type questions, totaling 100 marks.
