hello sir i hv problem regarding my eye sight.my eye vision is -6 in both d eyes.so am i eligible for bank po???????? plz reply as soon as possible
Yes Buddy!!!
1)In the rules for hearing ability at point no.10(2)they say that a person having perceptive deafness in both ears is fit for the job only if the defect doesnt exceed 30db.
2)However at the same time the eligibility to avail reservation for handicap in hearing category for IAS is prescribed as having defect in better ear of more then 60db which naturally means that the worst ear is still more defective.
Under such circumstances will it mean that a person with 45db defect is not eligible for selection.
How is that possible because if 45db defect person cant do the job being unfit than how can a handicap of 60db do the same????
Please guide.

Dear sir
Is a candidate suffuring from piles eligible for upsc civil services exam.
Please reply
LOL
Who is this shit who is writing lol here for someone’s suffering. I pray to Lord you never succeed in life to become an officer. With this attitude you make fun of people’s suffering instead of trying to provide them relief and every penny spent on your salary and perks will be like casting pearls before swine.
