Staff Selection Commission has announced that the Physical Efficiency Test and Physical Standard Test for the SSC MTS Exam 2026 will be conducted from August 24 to August 31, 2026. Candidates who have passed the written examination are eligible to appear for the PET/PST. The official notice states that the PET/PST is for the post of Havaldar MTS (NT) & Havaldar Examination 2025, and will be held at various centres of CBIC across the country.

Admit cards for the PET/PST will be issued by the respective Regional Office of the Commission before the schedule. Candidates can download them from the official website ssc.gov.in by logging in with their credentials. The written examination was held from February 4 to 20, 2026, with two sessions covering Numerical and Mathematical Ability, Reasoning, General Awareness, and English language.
The PET/PST stage is a critical filter for thousands of candidates who cleared the computer-based test for Havaldar MTS posts. The test, spanning eight days across multiple CBIC centres, will assess physical standards and efficiency, with failure meaning disqualification from the final merit list. SSC typically releases results within weeks of the test. Candidates should monitor regional SSC websites for admit card release, which often happens just days before the exam, to avoid last-minute glitches.
