About the Indian Army PFT

The Physical Fitness Test (PFT) is the first eliminatory round in Indian Army Agniveer and Regular Soldier recruitment. All four events must be cleared — failure in any event ends your candidacy for that rally.

Group 1 and Group 2 grades in the quantitative events (run and pull-ups) affect merit ranking. Scoring high marks in both increases your chance of selection when seats are limited.

Standards may vary slightly by recruitment rally, category (GD, Tradesman, Technical, etc.), and the specific entry scheme. Always verify requirements at joinindianarmy.nic.in for your specific rally.
