To be passed as fit for appointment a candidate must be in good mental and
bodily health and free from any physical defect likely to interfere with the
efficient performance of the duties of his/her appointment.

2. In the matter of the correlation of age, height and chest girth of
candidates of Indian (including Anglo-Indian) race it is left to the Medical
Board to use whatever correlation figures are considered most suitable as a
guide in the examination of the candidates. If there be any disproportion
with regard to height, weight and chest girth the candidates should be
hospitalised for investigation and X-ray of the chest taken before the
candidate is declared fit or not by the Board.

However, the X-ray of the chest will be done in respect of only
such candidates who are directed to appear before the Medical Board for Part
II of the medical examination.

3. The contender’s height will be measured as follows -

He/she will remove his/her shoes and be placed against the
standard with his/her feet together and the weight thrown on the heels and
not on the toes or other sides of the feet. He/ she will stand erect without
rigidity and with the heels calve buttocks and shoulders touching the
standard. The chin will be depressed to bring the vertex of the head level
under the horizontal bar and the height will be recorded in centimeters and
part of a centimeter to halves.

4. The contender’s chest will be measured as follows -

He/she will be made to stand erect with his/her feet together and
to raise his/her arms over his/her head.

The tape will be so adjusted round the chest that its upper edge touches the
interior angles of the shoulder blades, behind and lies in the same horizontal
plane when the tape is taken round the chest.

The arms will then be lowered to hang loosely by the side and care will be
taken that the shoulders are not thrown upwards or backwards so as to
displace the tape.

The applicant will then be directed to take deep inspiration several times
and the maximum expansion of the chest will be carefully noted and the
minimum and maximum expansion of the chest will be recorded in
centimeter 84 89, 86 93 etc.

following rules. The result of each test will be recorded.

information in regard to the condition of the eye.
