And next is the physical fitness test. The major tests of physical fitness tests (PFT) are 1600 meters race, long jump, & high jump.

⇒1.6 Km Running

Running is the most important & hardest physical test that candidates face. To pass this test one needs to finish the 1.6 Km (1600 meters) race within the given time. Here are the time constraints for different groups:

Group – I: candidates who will finish the race within 7 min 30 sec will be placed in group I.

Group – II: Finishing the race between 7.30 to 8 min will lead group II.

Note: Time taken more than 8 min will result in disqualification. The competition is always high for army bharti, therefore, everyone comes fully prepared and tries to finish the race as soon as possible. The sooner the first person will finish the race, the smaller the chances will be for people finishing late. So, keep yourself well prepared for the race and do not rely on 7.30 min, the sooner your complete the race, the better your chances.
