SSC GD Physical Test: Declaration of pregnancy status must be for women

SSC GD Physical Test: Staff Selection Commission (SSC) on Thursday said that self-declaration of pregnancy status is now mandatory for female campaigners of Constable General Duty (SSC Constable GD) if they qualify for the physical test.

On reporting of female campaigners for PST (Physical Standard Test)/PET (Physical Efficiency Test), a self-declaration indicating about her pregnancy status shall be submitted. In case, if she declares that she isn’t pregnant also she may be allowed to participate in the PST/PET. For false declaration, the campaigners will be at her own risk during this test.

The commission said if a female campaigner declares she’s pregnant, a confirmatory test will be done and if it comes positive, irrespective of the duration, she’ll be declared temporarily unfit for the PST/PET round. Her candidature will be kept on hold.

As per previous rules, only those campaigners who were pregnant for 12 weeks or more weren’t allowed to participate in the physical test right away.

As per new rules, the vacancy against which the woman candidate was selected will be kept reserved for her and she’ll be re-examined for PST/PET six weeks after the date of confinement, subject to the production of the medical certificate of fitness from a registered medical officer/doctor.
