The medical examination ensures that candidates meet the physical and medical standards necessary for the demands of a role in the RPF. Here are some key aspects of the RPF SI Medical Examination:
- Vision Standards: Candidates must meet specified eyesight requirements, such as distant vision (6/6 and 6/9 without glasses) and near vision (0.6 and 0.6 without glasses). Candidates with color blindness are disqualified.
- Physical Fitness: The examination assesses physical fitness and ensures candidates have no disabilities, deformities, or health conditions that could hinder performance.
- General Health: Candidates undergo checks for overall health, including a review of their cardiovascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal systems. Any chronic or serious health issues may result in disqualification.
- Other Criteria: The medical test includes screenings for physical standards (like height and weight) and other health indicators that match the rigorous demands of the RPF SI position.
Only candidates who pass this examination are considered fit for final selection and appointment as Sub-Inspectors in the Railway Protection Force.
