Greetings team, my left eye vision is 6/60 and right eye vision is 6/6. Am I medically eligible for UPSC IES exam?
UPSC IES eyesight requirements for distant vision are:
- Minimum acceptable vision in better eye: 6/9
- No specific mention of the vision requirement for the weaker eye
Based on the information provided (vision in better eye 6/6), you seem to meet the criteria for the better eye. However, there is no clear official guidance on the minimum acceptable vision for the weaker eye.
-
Even if you meet the minimum requirements, the medical board might conduct a further assessment to determine your fitness for the Indian Engineering Services based on your vision in both eyes.
-
Good depth perception and binocular vision are crucial for many engineering fields.
