Dear aspirant,

The height and weight requirements will depend on the age, body build and racial characteristics as per standards laid down for Armed Forces. The minimum requirement is as follows:

  • Boys standards: The male candidates with height below 157.5 cms (152.5 cms for Gorkhas, Nepalese, Assamese and Garhwali) and weight below 47 kgs will not be accepted irrespective of age and other factors.


  • Overweight and obese candidates as per Height/Age/Weight standards for the Armed Forces will be declared unfit.


  • There should be a minimum 5 cms range of chest expansion.


  • Minimum of 14 dental points is essential and candidates should be free from severe pyorrhea and advanced caries.


  • There should be no ear discharge and no perforation of the eardrum/nasal septum. There should also be no hard wax in the ear canal, obstructing the view of the eardrum.


Hope the answer is helpful.

All the best!
