The recruitment process has sparked major interest across Jammu and Kashmir, particularly after many candidates sought clarity on physical standards mentioned in the notification, especially the chest measurement for male applicants.
According to the official document, male candidates must have a chest measurement of 32 inches unexpanded and 33½ inches expanded . The expanded value, written as 33½, is read as “thirty-three and a half inches.” This clarification ensures that candidates understand the exact benchmark required for passing the Physical Standard Test (PST).
