Regulations for the Physical Examination
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 :—

PHYSICAL EQUIVALENTS

Height without Shoes Chest Breadth when fullyRange of expansion expanded not less than

Millimetres
Millimetres
1626 and under 1651 851 51
1651 and under 1727 864 51
1727 and under 1778 876 51
1778 and under 1829 890 51
1829 and upwards 902 51

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

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.

Near vision with or without glasses 0.8 1
* Temporarily lowered to 6/60.

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”.
