Recruitment for the RPF (RPF and RPSF) mandates specific physical measurement standards (PMT) that vary by category, which candidates must meet after qualifying the Computer Based Test (CBT).

Mandatory Physical Standards (PMT):

CategoryHeight (Male)Height (Female)Chest (Male Only) (Unexpanded/Expanded)
General/OBC165 cm157 cm80 cm / 85 cm (Min expansion 5 cm)
SC/ST160 cm152 cm76.2 cm / 81.2 cm (Min expansion 5 cm)
Hilly Regions (Gorkhas, Marathas, etc.)163 cm155 cm80 cm / 85 cm (Min expansion 5 cm)
All candidates are required to meet these PMT standards and must subsequently qualify the Physical Efficiency Test (PET), which involves running and jumping, to be considered for the Document Verification and Medical Examination stages.

Candidates claiming relaxation must produce valid domicile/category certificates at the time of PMT/DV.
