Following the written exam, successful candidates must undergo the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST). These tests assess a candidate’s physical readiness for the challenging roles within the CAPF. The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) conducts these physical assessments.

- Long Jump: Tests explosive leg strength.
- Shot Put (7.26 kg): Evaluates upper body strength.
Candidates must meet specific standards for each event. Standards vary between male and female applicants. Failing any PET or PST component disqualifies a candidate from selection.

Candidates who successfully clear the PET and PST will proceed to the Medical Standards Test. This examination ensures candidates meet the strict health requirements for service in the armed police forces. It includes checks for vision, hearing, general health, and any pre-existing medical conditions.
Following medical clearance, candidates will appear for an Interview/Personality Test. This final stage, conducted by UPSC, assesses personality, communication skills, mental aptitude, and leadership suitability.
