Fitness test for candidates who have cleared the written examination conducted by the Tamil Nadu Uniformed Services Recruitment Board for the recruitment of Grade II constables, jail warders, and firemen, began at the Anna Stadium in Cuddalore on Tuesday.
Physical measurement and endurance tests for 377 candidates were conducted under the supervision of Deputy Inspector General of Police (Coastal Security Group) D. Magesh Kumar and Cuddalore Superintendent of Police S. Jeyakumar.
After measuring the height and chest of candidates, the men were made to run a 1,500 metre race. Men selected in the first phase will be called for another round of fitness tests on January 29 and 30, in which they will take part in a 100 metre or 400 metre race, high jump or long jump event and rope climbing.
At every stage, the tests are videographed and those candidates who are not satisfied with the physical measurement tests done by the police personnel can file an appeal with the Super Check Officer. The test is done for the second time in the presence of the DIG and videographed.
“If the candidate fails to qualify, this is explained to them and the whole process is again videographed,” a police officer said.
Candidates who clear the fitness tests will be called for certificate verification, he added.
