The RRB Group D PET Admit Card 2026 is issued zone by zone for candidates shortlisted after the Computer-Based Test under CEN No. 08/2024 (Level-1 posts). Railway Recruitment Cells (RRCs) activate the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) e-call letter on their own regional portals — there is no single all-India PET hall-ticket day.
Current focus (9 September 2026): Bilaspur (SECR) and Ranchi (SER) PET runs 9–11 September 2026. RRC SER’s notice activated PET e-call letter download on digialm from 30 August 2026 (06:00) through 11 September 2026 (18:00). Download before the window ends; exact batch, reporting time and venue appear only on your PDF. Many earlier zones (Prayagraj, Ajmer, Chennai, Patna, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Mumbai and others) already completed PET in July–early September.
Stage: PET · CEN: 08/2024 · Vacancies (widely reported): ~32,438 · Shortlisted for PET: ~63,295 · Live window: Bilaspur / Ranchi 9–11 Sep 2026 · Other zones: phased / completed / TBA
PET e-call letters are zone-wise. Use only your RRC / official digialm login — Easy Applications does not host admit cards.

Who this guide is for
Use this page if you:
- Were shortlisted for PET under CEN 08/2024 and need download steps, documents and standards
- Belong to Bilaspur / Ranchi (PET 9–11 Sep 2026) or need a reprint while your zone login still serves the call letter

What we verified
We point candidates to rrbapply.gov.in, zonal RRC sites, and the SER digialm PET login published in RRC South Eastern Railway’s CEN 08/2024 PET notice (download window 30 Aug – 11 Sep 2026). Bilaspur / Ranchi PET dates 9–11 September 2026 follow that notice and matching education coverage. Vacancy totals for CEN 08/2024 are commonly listed as ~32,438; older trackers sometimes showed 22,195, which matches the CEN 09/2025 cycle — treat official zone PDFs as final if numbers differ.

RRB Group D PET Standards 2026 (Typical)
Standards follow the usual Level-1 PET pattern used in recent Group D cycles. Always reconfirm on your zone notice / admit card.
Male candidates
| Task | Standard (typical) |
|---|---|
| Weight carry | Lift and carry 35 kg for 100 m within 2 minutes, single attempt, without putting weight down |
| Run | 1000 m in 4 minutes 15 seconds |
| Height (often applied in notice) | 165 cm (UR/OBC/SC); 160 cm (ST) — confirm zone PDF |
| Weight | Proportionate to height |
Female candidates
| Task | Standard (typical) |
|---|---|
| Weight carry | 20 kg for 100 m within 2 minutes, one attempt |
| Run | 1000 m in 5 minutes 40 seconds |
| Height | Often 152 cm minimum |
| Weight | Often minimum 45 kg |
Order of tests: Weight-carrying task is usually conducted first. Candidates who fail it are eliminated and may not be allowed the run.
PwBD: Generally exempted from PET under RRB rules; follow medical/DV instructions for the category.
Mistakes to avoid
- Mixing CEN 08/2024 PET with CEN 09/2025 CBT news and logging into the wrong portal.
- Waiting until the morning of PET to download — links can lag or captcha queues can spike.
- Using a third-party “download admit card” clone that steals registration credentials.
- Carrying the wrong photo ID (different from the one named on the call letter / used at CBT).
- Skipping warm-up and footwear — PET is physical; sports shoes matter.
- Assuming TBA zones will open on a social-media date — wait for the zonal RRC notice.
- Treating PET pass as final selection — DV and medical still decide empanelment.
PET Day Instructions
- Reach the ground well before reporting time.
- Follow board officers for queues, footwear, and attempt rules.
- Do not bring prohibited items listed on the admit card.
- Keep hydration and warm-up simple; avoid last-minute heavy meals.
What Happens After PET
- RRC records PET qualification status (some zones also publish day-wise PET result PDFs).
- Shortlisted candidates face document verification.
- Medical examination as per railway standards.
- Final empanelment / appointment against Level-1 vacancies subject to merit, DV, and medical fitness.
