Changes are made to the RRB Group D /RRC Level 1 selection process. In the detailed advertisement released earlier, it is said that candidates who qualify in the RRB Group D Computer Based Test (CBT), will have to appear for Physical Efficiency Test (PET).
Also, according to the RRB Group D PET requirements, candidate should be able to lift and carry weight for a specified distance, and be able to run for a specified distance within a given time. Though, weight and distance are different for male and female candidates.
Then candidates will be tested for their ability to lift and carry weight for a specified distance in a specified time. They will be allowed in the running test only if they qualify in the 'lift and carry' round. There will be some recovery time gap between the two rounds.
