The Motorway Police advertisement says it plainly: no written test. Recruitment is through district-level walk-in interviews. That means your physical test and your documents are the entire selection — and the physical standard is the one thing you cannot fix at the interview desk.
This guide covers every measurement, the training plan to hit them, and the document checklist that decides whether your application survives the first ten minutes.
The Physical Standard — Junior Patrol Officer
| Test | Male | Female |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 5 ft 6 in minimum | 5 ft 3 in minimum |
| Chest | 33–35 in, 1 in relaxation allowed | — |
| One-mile run | 9 minutes | 14 minutes |
| Push-ups | 10 in one minute | — |
| Bicycle crunches | 10 in one minute | — |
| BMI | Prescribed range | Prescribed range |
The One-Mile Run — How to Actually Hit 9 Minutes
Nine minutes for one mile is 1.6 km at about 10.7 km/h. That is a jog for a fit person and a hard effort for an unfit one. Two weeks is enough to improve, but only if you train correctly.
| Day | Workout |
|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12 | Run/walk intervals — 2 minutes jog, 1 minute walk, repeat 6 times |
| 2, 4, 6, 9, 11 | Timed mile attempt — run the full distance, note your time, do not stop |
| 7, 13 | Rest or a 20-minute easy walk |
| 14 | Rest before the interview |
- Never train twice a day in a two-week block. You will arrive injured, which is worse than slow.
- Run on a flat surface that roughly matches a school ground — most tests are held on flat ground, not a track.
- Time yourself honestly. A phone stopwatch, same distance, same surface each time. Progress feels bigger than it is.
- Do not sprint the first 200 metres. The single most common failure is going out too fast and walking the last lap.
Push-ups and Crunches — Two Weeks to Ten Reps
Ten push-ups in a minute is a low bar, but only if you practise the actual movement. If you cannot do one, start with incline push-ups against a wall, then a table, then the floor.
- Days 1–4: 3 sets of as many as you can do (even if it is two), with 60 seconds rest.
- Days 5–9: 4 sets of 5, slow and strict. Form matters more than speed at this stage.
- Days 10–13: 5 sets of 8, then one full timed test — 10 in 60 seconds.
- Bicycle crunches: 3 sets of 15 every alternate day. They are easier than push-ups and the standard is only ten.
Document Checklist — The Real Reason People Fail
With no written test, the interview is largely a document verification exercise. Bring originals plus two attested photocopy sets of everything:
- CNIC — original and copies
- Balochistan domicile or local certificate — this advertisement is quota-specific, and its absence ends the process immediately
- Matric certificate, Intermediate certificate, and any higher qualification, all attested
- Valid car driving licence and motorcycle licence — required for Junior Patrol Officer, and both must be current, not expired
- Recent passport-size photographs, plain background
- Experience certificates for the Photographer post (three years required)
- Nursing diploma for the Paramedical post
- Printed application confirmation from
njp.gov.pk
What Happens at the Walk-in Interview
- Document verification — originals checked against your online application.
- Height and chest measurement — taken on the spot.
- Physical test — run, push-ups, crunches.
- Basic interaction — a short conversation covering your background and motivation.
The district-level nature means the venue is near your area of domicile, not in Islamabad. Watch your SMS and the NHMP careers page for the notice — the advertisement explicitly warns that interview schedules are sent to the number registered on your NJP profile.
How to Prepare for the Interview Conversation
- Know the organisation. NHMP patrols the motorway and national highway network, assists stranded motorists, enforces traffic law and responds to accidents.
- Know why you applied. A short honest answer beats a memorised speech. “I want a disciplined government career and I meet the physical standard” is fine.
- Be ready on your own documents. They will ask about your education and your district. Know your own record.
- Dress formally — plain shirt and trousers, clean shoes. Approach it as a professional interview, because it is one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a written test for Motorway Police Junior Patrol Officer?
According to the current advertisement, no. Recruitment is through district-level walk-in interviews with no entry, written or skill test. Your physical test and documents decide the outcome.
What is the running requirement?
One mile in 9 minutes for male candidates and 14 minutes for female candidates.
What is the minimum height?
5 feet 6 inches for male candidates and 5 feet 3 inches for female candidates. Chest measurement for male candidates is 33–35 inches with one inch relaxation.
Is a driving licence compulsory?
Yes, for Junior Patrol Officer posts you need both a valid car licence and a motorcycle licence.
Can I pass the run without training?
Unlikely if you are not already active. Nine minutes for a mile requires sustained jogging. Give yourself at least two weeks of alternating interval and timed runs.
Where will the physical test be held?
At district level, near your area of domicile. The exact venue and timing are sent by SMS to the number registered on your NJP profile.
Bottom Line
No written test — so the run is the exam. Four numbers decide this: height 5 ft 6 in, chest 33–35 in, a nine-minute mile, and ten push-ups in a minute. Two weeks of honest training gets you there; two weeks of intending to train does not. And carry both driving licences plus your Balochistan domicile, because those two documents end more applications than the run ever will.
