Obstacle 4

The fourth obstacle is called the screen jump. In this, there is a ramp similar
to the one you see in obstacle 1 with a red screen suspended in front. You are
required to come running from a distance, run over the ramp and jump over

the red screen without touching the screen. Ahead of the screen there will be
a sand pit to prevent any injury. In this, you need momentum and hence, must
run some distance and not stop at the ramp. In case you happen to touch the

screen, it will fall down. Do not waste your time in putting it back. Move on
to the next obstacle. The groundsmen will put the screen back and you can
take another attempt if time permits. Picture 28 provides a view of this

obstacle. For lady candidates, the screen is placed at a lower height.

Obstacle 5

In this obstacle, there are two ropes fixed parallel to each other at a height of
roughly 15 feet above the ground. There are ladders on both sides and also
two ropes hanging on either side which you can use to go up. You can either
use the rope or the ladder to go up. Upon reaching the top, you are expected

to hold the top rope and walk on the bottom rope. Once you cross the
distance, you can once again either use the ladder or the rope to come down.

Please remember, unless you are very fit and have practiced rope climbing,
