REGULATIONS RELATING TO THE PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS OF
CANDIDATES APPLYING FOR THE ODISHA POLICE SERVICE.
The regulations are published for the convenience of candidates and
enable them to ascertain the probability of their possessing the required
physical standard. The regulations are also intended to provide guidelines to
the medical examiners.
The Government of Odisha reserve to themselves absolute discretion to
reject or accept any candidate after considering the report of the Medical Board.
PHYSICAL STANDARD:
1. 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 on this appointment.
2. (a) In the matter of co-relation of age limit, height and chest girth
of candidates of India, it is left to the Medical Board to use whatever correlation
figure are considered most suitable as a guide in the examination of the
candidates. If there be any disproportion with regard to height, weight and
chest girth, the candidates should be hospitalized for investigation and X-ray of
the chest taken before the candidate is declared fit or not fit by the Board.”
(b) For the Odisha Police Service minimum standard for height
and chest girth without which candidates cannot be accepted, are as follows:-
Height Chest Girth
fully expanded
Expansion
1 2 3 4 5
1 Men(UR/SEBC/SC) 165 cm 84 cm 5 cm
2 Men (ST) 160 cm 84 5 cm
3 Women (UR/SEBC/SC) 150 cm 79 cm 5 cm
4 Women (ST) 145 cm 79 cm 5 cm
3. The candidate’s height will be measured as follows:
He will remove his shoes and be placed against the standard with his feet
together and the weight thrown on the heels and not on the toe or other sides of
the feet. He will stand erect without rigidity and with heels calves buttocks and
shoulder 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
centimeters and parts of a centimeter to halves.
4. The candidate’s chest will be measured as follows:-
He will be made to stand erect with his feet together and to raise arms
over his head. The tape will be so adjusted round the chest that its upper edge
touches the inferior 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 upwards or backwards so as to displace the tape. The candidate
will then be directed to take a deep inspiration several times and the maximum
expansion of the chest will be carefully noted and the minimum and maximum
will then be recorded in centimeters 84-89, 86-93.5 etc. In recording the
measurements fractions of less than half a centimeter should not be noted.
2
N.B.- The height and chest of the candidates should be measured twice before
coming to a final decision.
5. The candidate will also be weighed and his weight recorded in kilograms;
fractions of half a kilogram should not be noted.
6. (a) 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 or
abnormality. The candidate will be rejected if he suffered from any
morbid conditions of eye, eyelids or contiguous structure of such a
sort as to render or are likely at future date to render him unfit for
service.
(ii) Visual Acuity – The examination for determining the acuteness of
visions includes two tests – one for distant the other for near
vision. Each eye will be examined separately.
(b) There shall be no limit for maximum naked eye vision but the naked
eye vision of the candidates shall however be recorded by the Medical
Board or other medical authority in every case, as it will furnish the
basis information in regard to the condition of the eye.
(c) The following standards are prescribed for distant and near vision
with or without glasses.
(d) (i) The total amount of Myopia (including the cylinder) shall
not exceed minus 4,00D. Total amount of Hypermetropia (including
the cylinder) shall not exceed plus 4.00D.
(ii) In every case of myopia fundus examination should be carried
out and the results recorded. In the event of pathological condition being
present which is likely to be progressive and affect the efficiency of the
candidate, he/she should be declared unfit.
(e) Field of vision : The field of vision shall be tested by the
confrontation method. When such test gives unsatisfactory or doubtful
result the field of vision should be determined on the perimeter.
Better eye (Corrected

6 Binocular vision

(f) Night Blindness: Broadly there are two types of night blindness: (1)
as a result of Vitamin-A deficiency and (2) as a result of Organic disease
of Retina, common cause being Retinitis Pigmentosa. In (1) the fundus is
normal, generally seen in younger age group and ill nourished persons
and improves by large doses of Vitamin-A. In (2) the fundus in often
involved and mere fundus examination will reveal the condition in
majority of cases. The patient in this category is an adult and may not
suffer from malnutrition. Persons seeking employment for higher posts in
the Government will fall in this category. For both (1 and (2) dark
adaptation test will reveal the condition. For (2) Specially when fundus is
not involved Electro-Retinography is required to be done. Both these
tests (dark adaptation and retinography) are time consuming and require
as a routine test in a medical check up. Because of these specialized set
up, and equipment and thus are not possible as a technical
considerations. It is for the Ministry/Department to indicate if these tests
for night blindness are required to be done. This will depend upon the
job requirement and nature of duties to be performed by the prospective
Government employees.
(g) Colour Vision : The testing of colour vision shall be essential. Colour
perception should be graded into higher grade depending upon the size
of aperture in the lantern as described in the table below:
Grade High Grade Colour
Perception
1 2 3
1. Distance between the
lamp and candidate
16ft
2 Size of aperture 13 mm
3 Time of exposure 5 seconds
Satisfactory colour vision constitutes, recognition with ease and
without hesitation of signal red, green and yellow colour. The use of
Ishihara’s plates, shown in good light and a suitable Edrige Green’s
lantern shall be considered quite dependable for testing colour vision.
While either of the two tests may ordinarily be considered sufficient in
respect of services concerned with road, rail and air traffic, it is essential
to carry out the lantern test. In doubtful cases where a candidate fails to
qualify when tested by only one of the two tests, both the tests should be
employed.
(h) Ocular condition other than visual acuity :
(i) Any organic diseased or a progressive refractive error which is
likely to result in lowering visual acuity, should be considered a
disqualification.
(ii) Squint: The presence of binocular vision is essential. Squint,
even if the vision acuity in each eye is of the prescribed standard should
be considered a disqualification.
(iii) If a person has one eye of if he has one eye which has normal
vision and the other eye is amblyopic or has subnormal vision the usual
effect is that the person is lacking stereoscopic vision for perception
of depth. Such vision is not necessary.
4
(iv) Contact Lenses: During the medical examination of
candidate, the use of contact lenses is not to be allowed. It is necessary
that when conducting eye test the illumination of the typed letters for
distant vision should have an illumination of 15 foot-candles.
GUIDELINES FOR SPECIAL OPHTHALMIC BOARD
Special Ophthalmic Board for eye examination shall consist of 3
Ophthalmologists:
(a) Cases where the Medical Board has recorded visual function
within normal prescribed limits but suspects a disease of
progressive and organic nature, which is likely to cause
damage to the visual function should refer the candidates to a
Special Ophthalmic Board for opinion as part of the first
Medical Board.
(b) All cases or any type of surgery on eyes, IOL, refractive corneal
surgery, doubtful cases of colour defect should be referred to
special Ophthalmic Board.
(c) In such cases where a candidate is found to be having high
myopia or high hypermetropia, the State Medical Board should
immediately refer the candidates for a special Board of three
Ophthalmologists constituted by the Medical Superintendent
of the hospital/A.M.O. with the head of the Department of
Ophthalmology of the Hospital or the senior most
ophthalmologist as the Chairman of the special Board. The
Ophthalmologist/Medical Officer who has conducted the
preliminary ophthalmic examination con not be a part of the
Special Board.
The Examination by the Special Board should preferably be done
on the same day. Whenever it is not possible to convene the Special
Board of three Ophthalmologists on the day of the medical examination
by the State Medical Board, the Special Board may be convened at an
earliest possible date.
The Special Ophthalmic Board may carry out detailed
investigations before arriving at their decision.
The Medical Board’s report may not be deemed as complete unless
it includes the report of the Special Board for all such cases which are
referred to it.
GUIDELINE FOR REPORTING ON BORDER LINE UNFIT CASES:
In border line cases of substandard visual acuity, subnormal
colour vision, the test will be repeated after 15 minutes by the Board
before declaring a person unfit.
5
7. Blood pressure:
The Board will use its discretion regarding Blood Pressure. A rough
method of calculating normal maximum systolic pressure is as follows:-
(i) With Young subject 15-25 years of age the average is about 100 plus
the age.
(ii) With subjects over 25 years of age the general rule of 110 plus half
the age seems quite satisfactory.
N.B.- As a general rule any systolic pressure over 140 mm and diastolic over 90
mm, should be regarded as suspicious and the candidate should be
hospitalized by the Board before giving their final opinion regarding the
candidate’s fitness or otherwise. The hospitalization report should indicate
whether the rise in blood pressure is of a transient nature due to excitement
etc. or whether it is due to any organic disease. In all such cases X-ray and
electrocardiographic examination of heart and blood urea clearance test should
also be done as a routine. The final decision as to fitness or otherwise of a
candidate will however, rest with the medical board only.
Method of taking Blood Pressure
The mercury manometer type of instrument should be used as a rule.
The measurement should not be taken within fifteen minutes of any exercise or
excitement. Provided the patient and particularly his arm is relaxed he may be
either lying or sitting. The arm is supported comfortably at the patient’s side in
a more or less horizontal position. The arm should be freed from the cloth to the
shoulder. The cuff completely deflated should be applied with the middle of the
rubber over the inner side of the arm and its lower edge an inch or two above
the bend of the elbow. The following returns of cloth bandage should spread
evenly over the bag to avoid bulging during Inflation.
The brachial artery is located by palpitation at the bend of the elbow and
the stethoscope is then applied lightly and centrally over it below but not in
contact with the cuff. The cuff is inflated to about 200 mm. Hg. and then slowly
deflated. The level at which he column stands when soft successive sound are
heard represents the Systolic Pressure. When more air is allowed to escape the
sound will be heard to increase in intensity. The level at which the well heard
clear sound change to soft muffed fading sounds represents the diastolic
pressure. The measurements should be taken in a fairly brief period of time as
prolonged pressure of the cuff is irritating to the patient and will vitiate the
reading. Rechecking if necessary should be done only a few minutes after
complete deflation of the cuff. Sometimes as the cuff is deflated sounds are
heard at a certain level they may disappear as pressure falls and reappear at a
still lower level. This silent Gap may cause error in readings.
8. The urine (passed in the presence of the examiner) should be examined
and the results recorded. Where a Medical Board finds sugar present in
candidate’s urine by the usual chemical tests the Board will proceed with the
examination with all its other aspects and will also specially note any signs or
symptoms suggestive of diabetes. If except for the glycosuria the Board finds
the candidate conforms to the standard of medical fitness required they may
pass the candidate fit, subject to the glycosuria being non-diabetic and the
Board will refer the case to a specified specialist in Medicine who has hospital
and laboratory facilities at his disposal. The Medical Specialist will carry out
whatever examinations clinical and laboratory, he considers necessary
including a standard blood sugar tolerance test, and will submit his opinion to
the Medical Board upon which the Medical Board will base its final opinion “fit”
or “unfit”. The candidate will not be required to appear in person before the
Board on the second occasion. To exclude the effect of medication it may be
necessary to retain a candidate for several days in hospital under strict
supervision.
6
9. A woman candidate who as a result of tests is found to be pregnant of 12
weeks standing or over should be declared temporarily unfit until the
confinement is over. She should be re-examined for fitness certificate six weeks
after the date of confinement, subject to the production of a medical certificate
of fitness from a registered medical practitioner.
10. 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. In case it is defective the candidate should be
got examined by the ear specialist; provided that if the defect in hearing is
remediable by operation or by use of a hearing aid a candidate cannot be
declared unfit on that account provided he/she has no progressive disease in
the ear. The following are the guidelines for the medical examining authority in
this regard:-
1. Perceptive deafness in
both ears in which some
improvement is possible
by a hearing aid
Fit if the deafness is up to 30 decibel in
speech frequencies of 1000-4000.
2. Perforation of tympanic
membrane of central or
marginal type.
(i) One ear normal other ear perforation of
tympanic membrane present temporarily
unfit. Under improved conditions of Ear
Surgery a candidate with marginal or
other perforation in both ears should be
given a chance by declaring him
temporarily unfit and then he may be
considered under 4(ii) below.
(ii) Marginal or attic perforation in both ears
unfit.
(iii)Central perforation both ears – Temporarily
unfit.
3. Ears with mastoid cavity
subnormal hearing on
one side/on both sides.

mastoid cavity. Fit.
(ii) Mastoid cavity of both sides. Unfit.
4. Persistently discharging
ear operated/unoperated.
Temporarily Unfit.
5. Chronic Inflammatory/
allergic condition of nose
with or without bony
deformities of nasal
septum.
(i) A decision will be taken as per
circumstances of individual cases.
(ii) If Deviated nasal Septum is present with
symptoms – Temporarily unfit.
6. Chronic Inflammatory
conditions of tonsils and
or Larynx.
(i) Chronic Inflammatory conditions of tonsils
and/or Larynx – Fit.
(ii) Hoarseness of voice of severe degree if
present then Temporarily unfit.
7. Benign or locally
Malignant tumours of the
E.N.T.
(i) Benign tumours – Temporarily unfit.
(ii)Malignant Tumour – unfit.
8. Otosclerosis If the hearing is within 30 decibels after
operation. Or
With the help of hearing aid Fit.
9. Congenital defects of ear,
nose or throat.
(i) If not interfering with functions – Fit.
(ii)Stuttering of severe degree – Unfit.
10. Nasal/Poly. Temporarily Unfit.
7
(b) That his speech is without impediment;
(c) That his teeth are in good order and that he is provided with

physical examination will be done at the time when he is called for the
Personality Test by the Odisha Public Service Commission.
The decision of the Chairman of the State Standing Medical Board
(conducting the medical examination of the concerned candidate) about the
fitness of the candidate shall be final.
In case of doubt regarding health of a candidate the Chairman of the
Medical Board may consult a suitable Hospital specialist to decide the issue of
fitness or unfitness of the candidate for Government Service e.g. if a candidate
is suspected to be suffering from any mental defect or aberration the Chairman
of the Board may consult a Hospital Psychiatrist/Psychologist etc.
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.
12. The candidate filling an appeal against the decision of the Medical Board
have to deposit an appeal fee of Rs.100.00 in such manner as may be
prescribed by the Government of India in this behalf. This fee would be
refunded if the candidate is declared fit by the Appellate Medical Board. The
candidates may, if they like enclose medical certificate in support of their claim
of being fit. Appeals should be submitted with in 21 days of the date of the
communication in which the decision of the Medical Board is communicated to
the candidates otherwise request for second medical examination by an
Appellate Medical Board will not be entertained. The Medical Examination by
the Appellate Medical Board would be arranged at Cuttack only and no
traveling allowance or daily allowance will be admissible for the journeys
performed in connection with the medical examination. Necessary action to
arrange medical examination by Appellate Medical Boards would be taken by
the General Administration Department on receipt of appeal accompanied by
the prescribed fee.

MEDICAL BOARD’S REPORT
The following intimation is made for the guidance of the Medical
Examination:-
1. The standard of physical fitness to be adopted should make due
allowance for the age and length of service, if any of the candidate concerned.
No person will be deemed qualified for admission to the public service
who shall not satisfy Government or appointing authority as the case may be
that he has no disease constitutional affliction, or bodily infirmity, unfitting him
or likely to unfit him for that Service.
It should be understood that the question of fitness involves the future
as well as present and that one of the main objects of medical examinations is
to secure continuous effective service and in the case of candidates for
permanent appointment to prevent early pension or payments in case of premature
death. It is at the same time to be noted that the question is one of the
likelihood of continuous effective service and the rejection of a candidate need
not be advised on account of the presence of a defect which is only a small
proportion of cases is found to interfere with continuous effective service.
A Lady Doctor will be co-opted as a member of the Medical Board
whenever a women candidate is to be examined.
The report of the Medical Board should be treated as confidential.
In case where a candidate is declared unfit for appointment in the
Government Service the ground for rejection may be communicated to the
candidate in broad terms without giving minute details regarding the defects
pointed out by the Medical Board.
In case where a Medical Board considers that minor disability
disqualifying a candidate for Government Service can be cured by treatment
(medical or surgical) a statement to the effect should be recorded by the Medical
Board. There is no objection to a candidate being informed of the Board’s
opinion to the effect by the appointing authority and when a cure has been
effected it will be open to the authority concerned to ask for another Medical
Board.
In the case of candidate who are to be declared “Temporarily Unfit” the
period specified for re-examination should not ordinarily exceed six months at
the maximum. On re-examination after the specified period these candidates
should not be declared temporarily unfit for a further period but a final decision
in regard to their fitness for appointment or otherwise should be given.
