for IPS there are some physical requirements

Sending u an authentic mail

hope it will help

Many friends have asked about the minimum Physical
standards for IPS. I am giving these here. The
physical standards are important for the job profile
and the rigorous training at the NPA, which includes
weekly run for 10 k.m. in 60 minutes, route march for
25 k.m. UAC, Horse riding, rock climbing, assault
course, PT obstacles, rope climbing etc. I shall give
a detailed a/c of this sometime.

Services are divided into technical and non-technical.
Technical services are IRTS, IPS, DANI PS, CISF, RPF &
other Police organisation. The Medical standards for
Technical Services are stringent. For IPS-

Height ? Male 165 cm Pahari Male (general also) & ST
(not the SC/ OBC) ? 160 cm

Female 150 cm Pahari Female (general
also) & ST (not SC/ OBC)- 145 cm

Chest ? Male Minimum 84 cm. Expansion 5 cm.

Female Min 79 cm expansion 5 cm.

(Those can?t expand the chest go to next service. If
expansion is less during 1st Medical, i.e. just after
interview; during second Medical, i.e. after the
result, or appeal, expansion can be shown.)

Many people fail in this test of chest expansion.

(I know some people who have cleared this exam during
the second Medical Test, i.e. after the Medical Exam
conducted after the declaration of Final result)

Eye sight ? 6/6 or 6/9 distant vision for good eye.
6/12 or 6/9 for worst eye.

Near vision J 1 for good eye.
J2 for worst eye.

The correction is by lenses
only.

High standard for the Colour-blind test.

No inherent night blindness.

Vision should stereoscopic.

Blood pressure (High) ? Age 23 ? 123, age 24 ? 124,
age 25 ?122, age 28 ? 124, age 30 ?125, age 32 ? 126,
age 34 ? 127.

Ladies should not be pregnant at the time of Medical
Test.

Ear- good listening & normal ear cavity. 1000 to 4000
frequency hearing impairment shd not be more than 30
decibels.

Nasal- candidate should not stammer while speaking.

Now the answer to one question which many people have
asked-

Shall I face any difficulty in OUTDOORS at the
National Police Academy, due to my advanced age? I was
not active in past; shall I face difficulty in
outdoors?

Ans- The Medical Standards are meant to ensure that
you shall be able to do the outdoors. But some people
face difficulty in outdoors. I know a person from Army
background underwent knee surgery (to cure cracked
plate) due to extra ordinary strain in outdoors. The
bone injuries are common to those who do not have
enough flexibility.
