HSSC Haryana Police PMT Exam 2026: Complete Guide to Tau Devi Lal Stadium PMT, Admit Card, Biometric & RFID Process
HSSC Haryana Police PMT Exam 2026 is scheduled on 20 April 2026 at Tau Devi Lal Stadium for physical measurement of candidates shortlisted from CET for 5,500 constable posts. You must carry the downloaded admit card and have your biometric unlocked — entry starts at 6:30 AM daily.
Quick overview: What is the HSSC Haryana Police PMT Exam 2026?
This PMT (physical measurement test) is part of the Haryana Police constable recruitment process for 5,500 vacancies. The list of shortlisted candidates is live on the official HSSC website and admit cards are available for download.
About 27 lakh applicants originally applied for this recruitment; shortlisted candidates from the CET are now being called for PMT. The full PMT programme at Tau Devi Lal Stadium may run 60 to 80 days with a flexible daily throughput.
Key tech and process highlights: 25 sensor-based machines will measure height and chest, RFID will create an audit trail, and biometric verification is mandatory at entry.
Before you go: Eligibility, documents and admit card
You are eligible for PMT only if you are shortlisted from the CET. HSSC has published the shortlist and admit card download links on the official portal.
Make sure your Aadhaar/biometric data is unlocked and verifiable before you leave home. If your biometric was not verified during CET, a special lane (Biometric Gate 03 ) is provided at the stadium.
Documents to carry (mandatory):
- Printed and signed admit card downloaded from hssc.gov.in .
- Original photo ID (Aadhaar, driving licence, passport or other government photo ID as specified by HSSC).
- Any category certificate required for reservation (EWS/ESM/SC/ST/OBC) in original and one self-attested copy.
Arrival advice: the stadium entry and PMT entry process open at 6:30 AM daily. Arrive early. Late arrivals may face delays or be asked to report on a later date.
Entry & verification for HSSC Haryana Police PMT Exam 2026 at Tau Devi Lal Stadium
Entry begins with document verification at the stadium gates. Officials will check your admit card, photo ID and category certificate before allowing you into the verification area.
Biometric authentication is mandatory and is done at entry. After biometric verification you will receive a serial number used to call you for measurement and to track your record.
If your biometric was not captured during CET, report to Biometric Gate 03 . Staff at Gate 03 handle CET non-verified cases and will guide you through manual checks and biometric capture.
Expect the serial number to be issued only after successful biometric validation and document checks. Keep your phone ready; the serial may be shown on stadium display boards and announced.
Physical measurement test (PMT) setup and tech used
HSSC is using 25 sensor-based machines to measure height and chest. These machines are coupled with RFID tags to register every measurement in a transparent, time-stamped audit trail.
How the system works in simple terms: you stand on the measuring unit, a sensor records height and chest measurements, and the result is stored against an RFID tag linked to your serial number. This minimizes manual errors and provides an evidence record for audits.
If you disagree with a measurement, HSSC allows an immediate appeal and a re-measurement request on the spot. Follow the appeal queue instructions at the stadium; officials will re-test you using the same sensor units and log both measurements.
Step-by-step:
1. Document verification and biometric authentication.
2. Issuance of serial number.
3. Call to a measurement lane with sensor machine and RFID logging.
4. Measurement logged and receipt/audit entry stored.
5. Immediate appeal desk available if you contest the reading.
Daily schedule, capacity and what to expect on exam day
HSSC will phase the process. Initially about 700 candidates will be processed per day. The plan is to scale to 1,500–2,000 daily and, if required, up to 3,000 candidates in a day.
A typical day starts at 6:30 AM with stadium entry and document checks. Measurement lanes usually open shortly after biometric queues clear. Expect the whole process at the venue — entry, verification, measurement and any immediate appeal — to take several hours depending on crowd size.
Estimated processing time per candidate varies but anticipate queues and wait times. The sensor-based measurement itself takes just a minute or two; most delay comes from biometric checks, documentation verification and movement between lanes.
Practical tips to avoid delays: arrive early, carry only essential documents, keep biometric unlocked, wear simple clothing for quick height/chest measurement, and keep copies of category certificates ready.

Common problems and FAQs at the PMT venue (and fixes)
Biometric mismatch or unlock failure: if your biometric is not accepted, do not panic. Go to Biometric Gate 03 (for CET non-verified or mismatch cases) and present your original ID and CET proof. On-site staff will attempt re-capture and manual verification.
Unhappy with measurement: immediately request re-measurement at the appeal desk. Officials will re-test using the same sensor machines and record both readings. Keep a note of the serial and time of measurement for follow-up.
Lost admit card on the day: if you lose the printed admit card, try to show the downloaded PDF on your phone. If your phone is dead, go to the on-site help desk with a valid photo ID and request temporary entry guidance — HSSC policies require the printed admit but help desks often handle emergencies.
CET vs PMT mismatch and serial number discrepancies: keep screenshots of your CET admit/score and any HSSC communication. If serial numbers do not match, raise the issue immediately at the entry help desk and get a written log of the complaint.
What information is missing — gaps candidates should note
HSSC has published core PMT logistics but several items are not detailed in the public notices. These include age limits and age relaxation rules, gender-wise exact PMT standards (height/chest thresholds), and the seat-wise reservation breakup.
Fee details for application or for re-measurement, the precise medical/fitness exam standards that follow PMT, and the final result declaration timeline are not published yet. You should cross-check the official notice on hssc.gov.in before assuming these details.
State-wise centre allocation, if any, and official COVID/health protocols for the stadium are also not specified. Watch official updates for any last-minute instructions.
Practical checklist: Day-before and day-of items
Day-before checklist:
- Download and print your
admit card
from the HSSC portal.
- Ensure your biometric (Aadhaar) is
unlocked
and matches your photo ID.
- Keep original category certificates ready if applicable.
- Carry a screenshot or print of the site plan and your scheduled reporting time.
Day-of essentials:
- Admit card (printed), original photo ID, one set of self-attested copies.
- Mobile phone with charged battery and power bank.
- Comfortable clothing for quick measurement, water bottle, light snack.
- Mask and sanitizer (carry as needed).
- Note down gate
03
(biometric lane) and on-site help desk numbers displayed at entry.
How to document an appeal: take a clear photo of the measurement readout and your issued serial number, ask for a written acknowledgment of your appeal from the appeal desk, and note the time. Witnesses are not required but photographic evidence helps in follow-up.
Post-PMT: What happens next and timeline expectations
After measurement you get a serial number recorded against your CET record. That serial will be used for next-stage processing and tracking.
HSSC has not yet published a precise timeline for medical or fitness examinations after PMT. Historically, medicals follow PMT and role-specific fitness tests; watch official portals for dates.
If you face post-PMT discrepancies, file a written complaint through the on-site or portal grievance mechanism and keep records (screenshots, acknowledgment receipts). Use your serial number in all follow-ups.
Final tips to maximize your chances on PMT day
Arrive early, have biometric unlocked, and follow the site plan. Keep your documents in order and use the appeal channel the moment you feel a measurement is incorrect.
Remain polite and firm when escalating issues. Keep copies of all proofs and receipts. Monitor official HSSC channels and the admit card instructions for any last-minute schedule updates.
