The UPSC prescribes some eligibility criterion for successful candidates to be appointed for service.

The technical services namely, the Indian Police Service (IPS), the Indian Railway Traffic Service (IRTS), Delhi Andaman and Nicobar Police Service (DANIPS), Pondicherry Police Service (PONDIPS) and the Railway Protection Force (RPF) require some very specific physical requirements of height, weight, chest, etc.

The other non-technical services dont require them and only some basic demands of health are mandatorily to be satisfied by the candidates.

The Foreign service which demands you to have physical requirements like, sitting, standing, walking, seeing, reading and writing, communication, manipulation by finger and hearing/speaking. Now lets see what IPS is supposed to require physically.
