UP Police Female Running Rules and Height Chart 2026: PET & PST Standards
Quick Answer
For female candidates in UP Police recruitment: minimum height 152 cm (147 cm for ST). Minimum weight 40 kg for every category, no chest measurement rule, and a qualifying 2.4 km run to finish within 14 minutes . Running is qualifying in nature — no marks are added to the written-test merit from the run.
UP Police Female Selection Process: Stage-by-Stage Structure
The physical test comes after earlier recruitment stages and before a candidate can move ahead to the next step. A candidate cannot reach the final merit list without passing these stages, including the UP Police female running test.
- Written examination (Stage 1): an OMR-based objective paper conducted for the Constable post, followed by checking of claimed categories and documents.
- Document verification: verification of originals against the details filled in the application. Check that the original documents match the application, then submit the photocopies.
- Physical Standard Test (PST): measurement of height and weight against the official table.
- Physical Efficiency Test (PET): the qualifying 2.4 km run for female candidates.
- Medical examination: vision, colour blindness, general physical fitness and bone/joint conditions are examined at this stage.
- Final merit and joining formalities: prepared on written-test performance, subject to medical fitness and the character verification process.
PST, PET and medical are qualifying stages. Marks are not awarded for them, so a candidate cannot compensate for a PET failure with a higher written-test score.
Official PST Rules for Female Candidates
The Physical Standard Test for female applicants measures only two parameters. This is the single most important point to understand: no chest measurement is taken for women.
- Height in centimetres – must meet the category-wise minimum given in the table below.
- Weight in kilograms – must be at least 40 kg, with no category relaxation.
- No chest measurement – the UP Police recruitment rules do not apply a chest measurement to female candidates.
Category-wise Minimum Height Standard (in cm)
The height table below is the core reference for this page. Compare your category with the minimum before you plan the rest of your preparation:
| Category | Minimum height (cm) |
|---|---|
| General | 152 |
| OBC | 152 |
| SC | 152 |
| ST | 147 |
| EWS | 152 |
Minimum weight: what does the rule say?
The published Constable service rules specify a minimum weight of 40 kg for women. This minimum is the same for every category. It is the only weight standard stated in the service rules, and no higher target is prescribed.
UP Police Female Running Rules: PET Running Rules and Timing at the Venue
The 2017 Constable rules amendment specifies a qualifying 2.4 km run in 14 minutes for women. Check your recruitment advertisement and PET call letter for the procedure used in your cycle: track length, batch arrangements, timing equipment and any appeal process.
A 400 m training track requires six laps to cover 2.4 km. An official venue may use a different track length. Follow the announced lap count and finish line; a personal stopwatch is only a practice aid.
2.4 km Pace Calculation for UP Police Female Running (400 m Practice Track)
This pace table is for UP Police female running practice on a 400 m track. This is an editorial calculation, not a separate board standard: 14 minutes equals 840 seconds. 840 divided by six laps is 140 seconds, or 2 minutes 20 seconds per lap. The official requirement concerns the complete distance, not individual lap splits.
| Distance | Target time at an even pace |
|---|---|
| 400 m (1 lap) | 2 minutes 20 seconds |
| 800 m (2 laps) | 4 minutes 40 seconds |
| 1,200 m (3 laps) | 7 minutes |
| 1,600 m (4 laps) | 9 minutes 20 seconds |
| 2,000 m (5 laps) | 11 minutes 40 seconds |
| 2,400 m (6 laps) | 14 minutes |
For a different measured track, calculate the required laps as 2,400 divided by the track length in metres. Use this arithmetic to understand the distance, and follow the actual venue instructions on test day.
UP Police Female Running: Official Rule vs Practice Calculation
The board requirement is the complete 2.4 km distance within 14 minutes. Therefore, the 2:20-per-400-metre split shown above is only a training calculation for UP Police female running on a measured 400 m track; it is not a separate UPPRPB rule. Venue layout, lap count, reporting procedure and timing method must be taken from the current PET call letter.
Document verification and PST appeal
Carry the documents specifically listed in your recruitment call letter and advertisement, including the physical-test admit card, photo identity and the original certificates supporting any category or relaxation you claimed.
Measurement dispute: UPPRPB’s DV/PST notice states that a candidate who is dissatisfied with the physical-standard measurement can submit an appeal/objection on the same day immediately after the test. Follow the procedure announced at your venue before leaving.
Official reference: UPPRPB DV/PST notice.
Medical stage after PET
Clearing height, weight and PET does not by itself establish medical fitness. Check eyesight, medical examination and any review procedure in the current recruitment notice or the medical instructions issued for your batch. This page does not invent universal medical cut-offs that are not stated in the cited Constable notice.
