1. Introduction

The moment an exam date is announced, preparation suddenly feels real. Until then, many students operate in “there is still time” mode. Once the schedule is out, emotions usually swing between relief and anxiety. Some feel motivated. Others worry if they have done enough.

If you are appearing for the CSBC Bihar Police Driver PET, it is normal to feel both urgency and pressure right now. The key is to channel this emotion into structured action instead of panic.

The good part? You now have clarity. And clarity is powerful in exam preparation.

2. Official PET Exam Date Details

As per the official notification released by the Central Selection Board of Constable (CSBC):

  • PET Exam Date: 12 March 2026
  • PET Admit Card: Expected from 15 February 2026
  • PET schedule may be batch-wise, so candidates must check their individual reporting date and time carefully.
  • Candidates will need login credentials such as Enrollment Number / Registration Number / Date of Birth to access details.
  • PET will include physical events such as running, high jump, long jump, and shot put.
  • Reporting time, venue, and instructions will be mentioned on the PET admit card.

If any further updates are issued, they will be available only through the official CSBC portal.

3. What This Timeline Means for Aspirants

The PET date gives candidates a defined preparation window. This stage is not about academic study; it is about physical readiness, stamina, and discipline.

Who is at an advantage now?

  • Candidates who maintained regular physical practice after the written exam.
  • Those who already meet minimum PET standards comfortably.
  • Aspirants with structured daily fitness routines.

Who needs to recalibrate immediately?

  • Candidates who paused physical training after the written exam.
  • Those close to minimum qualifying standards.
  • Aspirants recovering from minor injuries or inconsistent practice.

The remaining time is enough to improve endurance, but not enough for drastic transformation. Smart, injury-free training is crucial now.

4. Preparation Strategy After PET Date Announcement

If You Have About 30-40 Days

Focus Areas

  • Improve running stamina gradually.
  • Practice event techniques (jump posture, shot put handling).
  • Build muscle endurance, not bulk.

Weekly Structure

  • 4 days running practice
  • 2 days strength and flexibility
  • 1 rest day

Last 15 Days

  • Reduce intensity slightly.
  • Focus on consistency rather than pushing limits.
  • Practice under timed conditions.

Final 7 Days

  • Avoid heavy workouts.
  • Focus on stretching, hydration, and sleep.
  • Maintain confidence in your current level.

5. Event-Wise Focus for PET

Running

This is the most decisive event for many candidates. Practice:

  • Time-based running rather than distance-only
  • Breathing control
  • Sprint finishing

High Jump & Long Jump

  • Focus on technique, not force.
  • Warm up thoroughly before practice.
  • Avoid repeated strain to prevent injury.

Shot Put

  • Work on grip, balance, and release angle.
  • Overtraining here can strain shoulders; moderation is key.

6. Common Mistakes Students Make at This Stage

  1. Suddenly increasing workout intensity
    Leads to injury and fatigue.

  2. Ignoring recovery
    Rest days are essential for performance improvement.

  3. Comparing progress with others
    Every body adapts differently.

  4. Practicing without timing
    PET is performance-based, not effort-based.

  5. Neglecting nutrition
    Low energy directly affects stamina.

7. Exam Day Planning Guidance

  • Reach the venue well before reporting time.
  • Carry all required original documents.
  • Eat light but energy-rich food.
  • Stay hydrated but avoid excess fluids immediately before events.
  • Warm up properly before participation.

Mentally, focus only on your performance. Avoid discussions that create unnecessary stress.

8. Checklist for Aspirants

  • PET admit card download tracking
  • Valid ID proof
  • Passport-size photographs
  • Comfortable sportswear and shoes
  • Travel planning to exam centre
  • Adequate sleep the night before

9. If Dates Clash or Seem Unclear

  • Check your batch and reporting schedule carefully.
  • Follow only official updates.
  • Do not rely on unofficial social media forwards.
  • In case of genuine conflicts, contact authorities through official channels only.

10. Conclusion

The PET stage is about discipline, not perfection. Most candidates fail not because they lack strength, but because they mismanage preparation in the final phase.

You have already crossed the written stage. Now the goal is controlled execution. Stay consistent, avoid injury, and trust your preparation.

Focus on what you can control each day. That is enough.
