Sir, if possible can you upload appendix-II of Gazette of India Extraordinary which specifies the physical standard for various engineering services.
It will be very much helpful to the aspirants if ESE 2013 and onward.
Sir,
I would like to know the minimum qualifying standard for physical examination, especially with regard to eye…
Sir,
The information u share on d net through this blog is worth appreciating. Sir i want to know that i am a hypertensive & my blood pressure is seldom above 150 so i regularly take medications for controlling my b.p. As per appendix III , the requirement in upsc is below 140. So, sir it would be really kind of you if you can tell weather i am eligible for the appointment or not.
Recently we heard of some suggestions given by the director genral of health dept. in relation to the hypertensive & diabetic students. Sir, please update us weather those suggestions have been implemented or not.
Your respose would be highly obligatory.
P.S. I dont have any end organ damage & being a medical student i am taking care regularly.
Sir is a person wid lasik laser eligible for ips?
M. Srinivasu cleared the civil services examination in 2008 and was subsequently recommended by the
UPSC for appointment. But he was declared medically unfit by a medical board at the Safdarjung hospital on account of being diabetic.Srinivasu appealed against the decision and was subsequently referred to the Ram Manohar Lohia hospital for another examination. But there too he courted disappointment. After that also diabetic candidates have been declared unfit on this account.
Sir, are these medical norms changed subsequently by UPSC? If so, when & what are the new changes on this part?
Please reply sir I am very much tensed because of the above news as I am also diabetic; and seriously writing the Civil Services Exam this year. Please reply sir! It would be a great help to me and boost my morale.
