The Uttar Pradesh Homeguard department has officially released a revised timetable for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) scheduled for 2026, confirming that admit cards are now available for download on the official portal. Candidates who applied for the Homeguard recruitment drive can log in using their application credentials to access their hall tickets, which contain essential details such as test centre allocation, reporting time, and examination guidelines.
The revised schedule comes after several stakeholders, including coaching institutes and candidate groups, had sought clarity on dates due to earlier discrepancies between the initial notification and subsequent communications. The department has adjusted timelines to accommodate logistics at various testing centres across multiple districts in the state.
The PET forms a critical component of the Homeguard selection process. It typically includes events such as running, high jump, long jump, and shot put, with separate standards prescribed for male and female candidates. Only those who clear the physical standards advance to the subsequent stages of the recruitment cycle, which generally include document verification and final merit listing.
Official sources indicate that the PET will be conducted at designated grounds in divisional headquarters and select district centres. Candidates are advised to check their admit cards carefully for venue details, as some may have been reassigned following administrative restructuring. The department has also reminded aspirants to carry original identity documents alongside the printed admit card on the day of the test.
With the revised schedule now finalised, officials expect smooth conduct of the examinations without further delays. Recruitment authorities have also set up helpdesk numbers for candidates facing technical difficulties while downloading their admit cards.
