Following are the details of the
physical standards required in different groups as given by FPSC Annexure B
of CSS rules 2006.
(i) A candidate must be in good
mental and bodily health and free from any physical defect likely to
interfere with the discharge of his/her duties, A candidate who (after such
medical examination as Government or the appointing authority, as the case
may be, may prescribe) is found not to satisfy these requirements, will not
be appointed.
(ii). Candidates who qualify in
the written examination will be medically examined by the Medical Boards
constituted for the purpose. If any candidate remains absent twice in
his/her Medical examination, his/her candidature will automatically stand
rejected and no appeal in this regard will be entertained. However, his/her
chance will be considered as consumed.
(iii) In order to prevent
disappointment, candidates are advised to have themselves examined by a
Government Medical Officer of the standing of a Civil Surgeon before
applying for admission to the examination.
Regulations for the Physical
Examination
These regulations are published
for the convenience of candidates and in order to enable them to ascertain
the probability of their coming up to the required physical standard. But
it must be clearly understood that the Government of Pakistan reserve to
themselves an absolute discretion to reject as unfit any candidate whom
they may consider, on the report of the Medical Board, to be physically
disqualified for the Services and that their discretion is in no respect
limited by these regulations.
If any change is made in the
standard of physical fitness, an announcement will be made accordingly
before the examination.
Night blindness will be a cause
of rejection for District Management Group, Police Service of Pakistan,
Customs and Excise Group and Railways (Commercial and Transportation )
Group”.
Disabled candidates in the
categories of physical, hearing/speech(deaf & dumb) and visually
impaired (blind) are allowed to compete for Competitive Examination against
four occupational groups/services viz; (a) Commerce & Trade Group (b)
Pakistan Audit & Accounts Service (c) Information Group & (d)
Postal Group.
To be passed as fit for
appointment a candidate must be in good mental and bodily health and free
from any physical defect likely to interfere with the efficient performance
of the duties of his/her appointment. Candidates whose height is less than
1524 millimetres will not be considered physically fit for appointment to
any of the BS 17 post under the Federal Government. In the case of female
candidates, this standard will be reduced to 1473 millimetres for posts
which are completely sedentary provided the weight of such candidates is
not less than 43.5 kilograms.
(a) In the matter of the
correlation of age, height and chest-girth of candidates, it is left to the
Medical Board to use whatever correlation figures are considered most
suitable as a guide in the examination of the candidates except for the
Police.
For the Police
(b) The correlation of age, height and chest-girth will not be less than
that given in the following table :—

The candidate’s height will be
measured as follows :
He/She will remove his/her shoes and be placed against the standard with
his/her feet together and the weight thrown on the heels, and not on the
toes or outer sides of the feet. He/She will stand erect without rigidity
and with the heels, calves, buttocks and shoulders touching the standard;
the chin will be depressed to bring the vertex of the head level under the
horizontal bar and the height will be recorded in millimetres.
The candidate’s chest will be
measured as follows :
He/She will be made to stand erect with his/her feet together and to raise
his/her arms over his/her head. The tape will be so adjusted round the
chest that its upper edge touches the interior angles of the shoulder
blades behind and lies in the same horizontal plane when the tape is taken
round the chest. The arms will then be lowered to hang loosely by the side
and care will be taken that the shoulders are not thrown upward or
backwards so as to displace the tape. The candidate will then be directed
to take a deep aspiration several times and the maximum expansion of the
chest will be carefully noted and the minimum and maximum will then be
recorded in millimetres 838—890, 864—927, etc. In recording the
measurements fractions of less than 13 millimetres should not be noted.
The candidate will also be
weighed and his/her weight recorded in kilograms. Fractions of a kilogram
should not be noted.
The candidate’s eye sight will
be tested in accordance with the following rules. The result of each test
will be recorded :
(i) General—The candidate’s eyes will be submitted to a general examination
directed to the detection of any disease of abnormality. The candidate will
be rejected if he/she suffers from any squint or morbid conditions of eyes,
eyelids or contiguous structures, or such a sort as to render, or to be
likely at a future date to render him/her unfit for service.
(ii) Visual Acuity.—(A). The examination for determining the acuteness of
vision includes two tests—one for distant, the other for near vision. Each
eye will be examined separately.
1. Police
The Army test types will be used
for the test for distant vision without glasses at a distance of 6096 millimetres
and for the test for near vision, without glasses, at any distance selected
by the candidate.
(B). No candidate will be
considered fit for the service whose Visual Acuity falls below the
following standards :
Standard-I
Right eye Left eye
Distant vision V. 6/6 . . . . . . . . V. 6/6
Near vision—Reads 0.6 . . . . . . . . Reads 0.6
Standard-II

after correction with glasses not below 6/24.
Near vision—Reads 0.6 . . . . Reads 1.
Standard-III

Distant vision—V, without glasses :— V, without glasses, not below 6/60 not
below 6/60 and after correction with glasses— and after correction with
glasses—Not below 6/6. not below 6/24.
Near vision—Reads 0.8 Reads 1.
No relaxation of the standards
of vision will be allowed.
(a) Each eye will be examined separately and the lids must be kept wide
open during the test.
II. RAILWAYS

The candidates will be examined,
with the apparatus and according to the methods prescribed by the Railway
Board’s Standing Advisory Committee of Medical Officers. Any defect of
colour perception or in regard to field vision will be a cause for
rejection of the candidate. The candidate under the condition of ordinary
test for Visual Acuity having 6/6 vision with both eyes open with or
without glasses, will be rejected, if, under the conditions of the Night
Blindness Test his/her vision with both eyes open, with or without glasses;
falls below 6/24.
III. OTHERS
Snellen’s test types will be
used for the test for distant vision, without glasses at a distance of 6096
millimetres, and for the test for near vision, without glasses, at any
distance selected by the candidate.
No candidate will be accepted

Colour perception, night
blindness and field of vision :
(a) Each eye will be examined separately and the lids must be kept wide
open during the test.
(b) Inability to distinguish the principal colours will not be regarded as
a cause for rejection but the fact will be noted in the proceedings and the
candidates will be informed.
(c) Each eye must have full field of vision as tested by hand movements.
The degree of acuteness of
vision of all candidates for appointment will be entered in the proceedings
in the manner :—
V.P. ……………….. with glasses ……........... Reads ........................
V.L………......…….. with glasses ................... Reads
.…..................
In cases of serious abnormality
the opinion of an ophthalmic specialist should be obtained.
No candidate will be accepted
for appointment if his/her vision does not come up to the requirements
specified above without the use of contact glasses. (A contact glass or
lens is defined as a glass shell, the concavity of which is in contact with
the globe of the eye, a layer of liquid being interposed between the lens
and the cornea. The meaning of the word “glasses” wherever used above is to
be interpreted as not covering contact glasses.)
The urine (passed in the
presence of the examiner) should be examined and the result recorded.
The following additional points
should be observed :
(a) that the candidate’s hearing in each ear is good and that there is no
sign of disease of the ear ;
(b) that the candidate’s speech is without impediment ;
(c) that the candidate’s teeth are in good order and that he/she is
provided with dentures where necessary for effective mastication
(well-filled teeth will be considered as sound). Candidates for the Police
Service of Pakistan must have 10 sound teeth in the upper jaw, functionally
opposed to 10 sound teeth in the lower jaw. Two of these teeth in each jaw
must be molars. Well-filled teeth will be considered as sound
(d) that the candidate’s chest is well-formed and his/her chest expansion
sufficient; and that his/her heart and lungs are sound ;
(e) that there is no evidence of any abdominal disease ;
(f) that the candidate is not ruptured ;
(g) that the candidate does not suffer from hydrocel, a severe degree of
varicocele, varicose veins or polyps. A candidate for the Police Service of
Pakistan who has been successfully operated on will be accepted ;
(h) that the candidate’s limbs, hands and feet are well formed and
developed and that there is no shortening of any limbs and that there is
free and perfect motion of all his joints ;
(i) that the candidate does not suffer from any inveterate skin disease ;
(j) that there is no congenial malformation or defect ;
(k) that the candidate does not bear traces of acute or chronic disease
pointing to an impaired constitution ;
(l) that the candidate bears marks of efficient vaccination ; or in the
case of the Police Service of Pakistan he has been vaccinated (twice
unsuccessfully) within the last five years.
(In support of this the candidates will be required to produce certificate
signed by a Medical Officer); and
(m) that the candidate is free from communicable disease.
When any defect is found it must
be noted in the certificate and the medical examiner should state his
opinion whether or not it is likely to interfere with the efficient
performance of the duties which will be required of the candidate if the
condition is remediable by operation it should be so stated.
If a candidate is declared
medically unfit by the Central Medical Board, he/she will be informed by
the Federal Public Service Commission that he/she has been declared
medically unfit. The candidate will also be informed of the particular
defect or defects for which he/she has been declared medically unfit. The
candidate may prefer an appeal against the decision of the Central Medical
Board to the Federal Public Service Commission, Islamabad, within 14 days
of the receipt of the information. The appeal must be supported by two
certificates from the doctors of standing stating inter alia that :
(a) They are in full knowledge of the facts that the candidate has been
examined by the Central Medical Board and declared unfit; and
(b) That they have read the Rules and Regulations for physical fitness
required of the candidates for the Competitive Examination.
Government, however, reserve the
right to deal with the appeal as they deem fit and do not bind themselves
to constitute a second Medical Board for the medical examination of the
candidate concerned. No further appeal shall be entertained against the
decision of the Appellate Board and the case shall be treated as closed.
This issues with the approval of
the Government”.
