Who is shortlisted
Only candidates who cleared the written test move to the physical stage. The shortlist is in the result notice on the board's site. If your roll number is on the shortlist, check the admit card for your venue, your date and your reporting time.
Physical measurement test
The PMT checks height and chest measurements against the standards in the notice. The standards differ for men and women and by category. Measure yourself at home with a tape and a straight wall at least a week before the test, and note the figures. If you are below a standard, you cannot make up the difference on the day.
Physical efficiency test
The PET usually includes running and other events set by the board. Standards for running time, distance and other events are in the notice. Train with a plan that builds endurance over several weeks, and include a rest day each week. Practise at the distance and the timing the notice gives.
Documents to carry
- Printed admit card
- Original and photocopies of the Class 10 and Class 12 certificates and the date of birth proof
- Category certificate, if claimed
- Domicile or residence proof, if the notice asks for it
- Photo identity proof and passport photographs
Keep all documents in one folder, and check the list in the notice before the test day.
Preparing for the written stage again, if needed
If the board holds a later stage that includes a written test, revise general knowledge of West Bengal and India, reasoning, numerical ability and Bengali. Practise each week with timed sets, since the speed and the accuracy both matter.
Common mistakes
- Arriving late to the venue. Reporting times are strict, so plan the journey.
- Ignoring the physical standards. A measurement shortfall can end your candidacy early.
- Using an unofficial site for the admit card. Use the WBPRB portal only.
Preparing for the physical test in the last four weeks
Build your routine around the standards in the notice. In the first two weeks, run three times a week at a pace you can hold, and add one session of strength work for the legs and the core. In the next two weeks, add short intervals, then finish with one timed run at the test distance. Keep the final three days light, with a short run, stretching and enough sleep. Do not try a new hard workout in the final week.
Reporting, dress and documents on the day
Arrive at the venue before the reporting time, since the physical test follows a fixed order and late arrivals may not be admitted. Wear simple sports clothes and well-fitting shoes, as the notice allows. Carry the admit card, the photo identity proof and the document set. Keep water and a light snack in a bag, and avoid heavy food before the test.
What to expect at the medical stage
The medical examination checks general health, eyesight, hearing and other standards set by the board. If you have a known condition, bring the medical report from your doctor, and tell the medical team at the start. Do not hide a condition, since it can lead to a later rejection.
Keeping your candidacy on track
Read every notice that the board posts after the physical test, because the next stage dates can change at short notice. Keep your mobile number and email active, and check the portal at least twice a week. Save every notice as a PDF, so you have the rules to hand if a question comes up.
Life as a constable in Kolkata Police
A constable in Kolkata Police works on patrol, traffic duty, station records, and public assistance across the city's divisions. Shifts run in rotation, so candidates should be ready for early and late duties. The job suits people who are physically fit, comfortable with public contact, and steady under pressure. Read the notice for the duty rules and the posting policy.
Practical tips for the reporting day
Plan your route to the venue, and check whether the test site is in the same district as your home. Keep a printed route and a backup phone charger. Avoid taking an unfamiliar medication on the morning of the test without asking a doctor, since it can affect a medical check. If you feel unwell on the day, tell the staff at the venue before you start the test.
Common questions candidates ask
Do women candidates have a separate test? The notice sets the rules for women candidates and any separate standards. Check the notice for the female standards.
What if I miss the physical test date? The board sets the rules for re-scheduling. Check the notice and the portal for any notice of a re-test.
Is there a negative mark in the written stage? Check the official notice for the marking scheme of the written test.
