Railway Police Fitness Grade Scoring Guide
Railway police fitness tests typically mirror general police standards, covering 5 events: sprint, 1000m run, push-ups, sit-ups, and grip strength. Each event is scored on a 10-point scale for a maximum of 50 points. Grade 4 (30+ points) is the minimum passing grade. Scoring 0 on any single event results in automatic Grade 5 (fail).
Grade Scale
| Grade | Points | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Grade 1 | 45–50 | Excellent — Pass |
| Grade 2 | 40–44 | Good — Pass |
| Grade 3 | 35–39 | Average — Pass |
| Grade 4 | 30–34 | Below Average — Pass |
| Grade 5 | 0–29 | Fail |
Frequently Asked Questions
Railway police generally follow the same fitness standards as general police officers, as they operate under the same legal framework. Minor differences may exist — check the specific hiring announcement.
A minimum of 1 push-up is required to avoid a score of 0. However, aiming for 40+ (male) or 15+ (female) is recommended to score in the comfortable passing range.
Grip strength is measured with both hands separately and averaged. Men typically need 70+ lbs for a passing score, women 40+ lbs, though exact thresholds vary by agency.
