Question 1

What is the difference between PMT and PET in the Andhra Pradesh Police exam?

Accepted Answer

The PMT (Physical Measurements Test) checks body measurements such as height and, for male candidates, chest. The PET (Physical Efficiency Test) is a set of track-and-field events — running, jumps and shot put — that test fitness. Both are qualifying stages.

Question 2

Are the physical test marks added to the final merit?

Accepted Answer

No. The PMT and PET are qualifying in nature — you must meet the required standard to proceed, but the events are pass/fail and do not add marks to your written merit. Your final rank is decided by the written examination.

Question 3

Which events are in the Andhra Pradesh Police PET?

Accepted Answer

The PET typically includes running events such as a 100 m sprint and an 800 m run, along with long jump, high jump and shot put. The exact events and qualifying standards for your post, gender and category are listed in the official APSLPRB notification.

Question 4

Are the height and physical standards the same for everyone?

Accepted Answer

No. The required height, chest measurement and event standards differ for male and female candidates and are relaxed for certain categories and communities. Always check the exact figures for your post and category in the official APSLPRB notification.

Question 5

How early should I start training for the physical test?

Accepted Answer

Start as early as you can — ideally months before, alongside your written preparation. Fitness for running, jumps and throws builds gradually and safely over time, while last-minute cramming risks injury. Training with a coach on a proper ground helps most.
