PET/PTI: physical and written preparation

Treat the official advertisement as the syllabus. Photocopy the physical standard table and pin it above your shoes. Social-media “expected cut-off” lists are not a training plan.

Step 1 — Extract the physical table

Make four columns: event, qualifying mark, attempts allowed, gender/category. If the advertisement uses a 1600 m run, do not spend six weeks only on 100 m starts.

Step 2 — Written paper

Many state papers still ask:

Practise 2-mark definitions every evening for 15 minutes. Definitions win written papers.

Step 3 — Documents

Keep originals and two photocopies of: degree/marksheets, B.P.Ed or equivalent as required, caste/EWS if claimed, sports certificates if extra marks exist, photo ID. Names must match. See govt PTI page.
