Hello,

I have written the Medical criteria for AFMC briefly here -

• Candidate should be free from serious deformity and mal-developments. There should be no scoliosis, spina bifida and other skeletal deformities apparent or on clinical examination.

• There should not impede speech.

• There should be no sign of functional/organic disease of the heart and blood vessels.

• There is no fistula or evidence of piles.

• There is no disease of the kidneys, including glycosuria or albuminuria.

• There is no disease of the skin.

• There is no active, latent or congenital STD or HIV.

• There is no history of epilepsy and any mental and psychiatric disorder.

• There is no active trachoma or its complications.

• There are no enlarged glands (Lymph nodes) in the neck and other parts of the body.

• There should be no evidence of pulmonary tuberculosis or previous history of this disease or any other chronic disease of the lungs. X-ray chest will be taken for this purpose.

• There should be no evidence of any disease of the digestive system, including any abnormality of the liver and spleen. Ultrasound exam (USG) of the abdomen will be done.

• There should be no inguinal hernia or tendency to hydrocele or definite varicocele or any other disease or defect of the genital organs.

Candidates who have been operated for the Hernia may be declared medically fit provided

• One year has elapsed since the operation. Documentary proof of this effect is to be provided by the candidates.

• The general tone of the abdominal musculature is good.

• There has been no recurrence of a hernia or any complication concerned with the operation.

You can check out the complete medical fitness and Criteria related to it in the information brochure available on the official website of AFMC.

I hope you find the answer helpful.

Thank you.
