(a) For Male candidates (b) For Female Candidates

The minimum height prescribed is relaxable in case of candidate belonging to Scheduled Tribes and to races such as Gorkhas, Garhwalis, Assamese, Nagaland Tribes, etc. whose average height is distinctly lower.

(c) For the Military Engineering Service and Indian Ordnance Factories Service Group a, a minimum expansion of 5 centimetres will be required in the matter of measurement of the chest.

4. The condidate'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 toes or other sides of the feet, he will stand erect without rigidly and with the heels, caves, buttocks and shoulders touching the standard, the chin will be repressed to bring the vertex of the head level under the horizontal barPART I—SEC. 1] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, JANUARY 27, 2001 (MAHGA 7, 1922) 73 and the height will be recorded in centimetres and parts of a centimetres to halves.

5. The candidate's chest will be measured as follows :—

tie will be made to stand erect with his feet together and to raise his arms over his head. The tape will be so adjusted round the chest that its upper edge touches the interior angles of the shoulders 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 loosly 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 centimetres, 83—89,86—93.5 etc. In recording the measurements fraction of less than half a centimeter should not be noted.

N.B.—The height and chest of tne candidate should be measured twice before coming to a final decision.

6. The candidate will also be weighted and his weight recorded in kilograms—fraction of a Kilogram should not be noted.

7. 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 Subjected to a general examination directed to the detection of any disease or abnorfnality. The candidate will be rejected if he suffers 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 vision includes two tests—one for distant the other for near vision Each eye will be examined separately.

There shall be no limit for minimum 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 basic information in regard to the conditions of the eye.

The standards for distant and near vision with or without glasses shall be as follows :—

Technical Service or posts requiring lower grade colour

Preception:—

Provided that in case a candidate in respect of the Services classified as ' 'Technical'' (other than the Services under the Ministry of Railways) is found unfit on grounds of high myopia the matter shall be referred to a special boards of three Ophthalmologists to declare whether this myopia is Pathological or not In case it is not pathological the candidate shall be declared fit provided he fulfils the visual requirements otherwise.

(b) In every case of myopia fundus examination should be carried out and the results recorded. In the event of any pathological condition being present which is likely to be progressive and affect the efficiency of the candidate, he shall be declared unfit.

(c) Redial Keratotomy/Laser Correction etc. shall be considered as disqualification for appointment in Indian Railway Engineering Services. (Permitted correction for conforming to prescribed standards indicated above is spectacles only.)

NOTE (2)

The testing of colour vision shall be essential in respect of the technical Services mentioned at A above.

Colour perception snould be graded into higher and lower grade depending upon the size of aperture in the lantern as described in the table below :—

For the Railway Engineering Services (Civil, Electrical, Signal and Mechanical) and other service connected with the safety of the public, higher grade of colour vision is essential but for others lower grade of colour vision should be considered sufficient.

The categories of Services posts which require higher or lower grade colour perception are as indicated below :—

Technical Services or posts requiring higher grade colour Perception :—

(i) Railway Engineering Services.

(ii) Military Engineering Service (IDSE) and Surveyor Cadre.

(iii) Survey of India Group 'A' Service,

(iv) Central Engineering Service (Roads),

(v) Central Power Engineering Service,

(vi) Border Roads Engineering Service, Group A. (vii) Assistant Executive Engineer (Group 'A') in the Corps of EME.

(i) Central Engineering Service.

(ii) Central Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Service.

(iii) Indian Naval Armament Service,

(iv) Indian Ordnance Factory Service,

(v) Central Water ngineering Service.

(vi) Drilling Engineer (Junior) Group 'A' in Geological Survey of India.

(vii) Engineer Group 'A' in Wireless Planning and Co- ordination Wing/Monitoring Organisation.

Satisfactory colour vision constitutes recognition of signal red, green and white colours with ease and without hesitation. Both the Ishihara's plates and Edrirge Green's lantern shall be used for testing colour vision.

NOTE (3) Field of vision—The field of vision shall be tested in respect of all Services by the confrontation method. Where such test gives unsatisfactory or doubtful results the field of vision should be determined on the perimeter.

NOTE (4) For Night Blindness—Night blindness need not be tested as a routine but only in special cases. No standard test for the testing of night blindness or dark adaption is prescribed. The Medical Board should be given the discretion to improvise such rough test e.g. recording of visual acuity with reduced illumination or by making the candidate recognise various objects in a darkened room after he has been there for 20 to 30 minutes. Candidates own statements should not always be relied upon but they should be given due consideration.

NOTE (5) For Central Engineering Services/CES (Roads)— Candidates may be required to pass the colour vision test and undergo test for night blindness when considered necessary by the Medical Board. For Survey of India Group 'A' Service the candidate may be required to pass a 'stereoscopic fusion' test.

NOTE (6) Ocular conditions, other than visual acuity—

(a) Any organic disease or a progressive refractive error, which is likely to result in lowering the visual acuity, should be considered as a disqualification.

(b) Squint—For Technical Services mentioned at A above where the presence of binocular vision is essential, Squint, even if the visual "acoity in each eye is of the prescribed standard, should be considered as a disqualification. For other Services the presence of squint should not be considered as a disqualification, if the visual acuity is of the prescribed standard.

(c) If a person has one eye or if he has one eye which has normal vision and the other eye is ambylyopic or has sub- normal vision, the usual effect is that the person lacksPART I—SEC. 1] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, JANUARY 27, 2001 (MAHOA 7, 1922) 75 stereoscopic vision for perception of depth. Such vision is not necessary for many civil posts. The medical board may recommend as fit, such persons provided the normal eye has—

(i) 6/6 distant vision and J/I near vision with- or without glasses, provided the error in any meridian is not more than 4 dioptres for distant vision.

(ii) has full field of vision.

(iii) normal colour vision wherever required.

Provided the board is satisfied that the candidate can perform all the functions for the particular job in question.

The above relaxed standard of visual acuity will Not apply to candidates for Posts /Services classified as "TECHNICAL".

NOTE (7) Contact Lenses :—During the medical examination of a candidate, the use of contact lenses is not to be allowed,

NOTE (8) It is necessary that when considering eye test the illumination of the type letters for distant vision should have an illumination of 15 foot candles.

NOTE (9) It shall be open to Government to relax any one of the conditions in favour of any candidate for special reasons.

8. Blood Pressure

The Board will use its discretion regarding Blood pressure. A rough method of calculating normal, maximum, systolic pressure is as follws :—

(i) With young subjects 15—25 years of age the average is about 100 plus age.

(ii) With subject over 25 years of age general rule of 110 plus half the age seems quite satisfactory.

N. B.—As a general rule any systolic prescription 140 m m and diastolic over 90 mm should be regarded as suspicious and the candidate should be hospitalised by the Board before giving their final opinion regarding the candidate's fitness or otherwise. The hospitalisation 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 electro cardiographic examinations of heart and blood urea clearance test should also be done as routine. The fjnal decision as to the fitness or otherwise of a candidate will, however, rest with the Medical board only.

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 turns 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 above 200 mm. Hg. and then slowly deflated. The level at which the column stand when soft successive sounds are heard represents the Systolic Pressure. When more air is allowed to escape the sounds will be heard to increase in intensity. The level at which the column well heard clear sounds change to soft muffled 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 readings. Re- checking if necessary, should be done only a few minutes after complete deflection 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 reading.)

9. The urine (passed in the presence of the examiner) should be examined and the results recorded. When a Medical Board finds sugar present in a 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 standards 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 inclding 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 candidates will not be required to appear in person before the Board on the second occasion. To exclude the effects of medication it may be necessary to retain candidate for several days in hospital under strict supervision.

10. A woman candidate who has a result of test is found to be pregnant of 12 weeks standing or over should be declared temporary unfit until the confinement is over. She should be re-examined for a fitness certificate six weeks after the date of confinement subject to the production of a medical certificate of fitness from a registered medical practitioner.

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 of 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 free from clothes to the shoulder. The cuff completely deflated, should be applied with the middle of 11. 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 no76 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, JANURAY 27, 2001 (MAGHA 7, 1922) [PART I—SEC. 1 progressive disease in the ear.

(1) that he bears marks of efficient vaccination; and (m) that he is free from communicable disease.

12. Radiographic examination of the chest for detecting any abnormality of the heart and lungs, which may not he apparent by ordinary physical examination will be restricted to only such candidates who are declared finally successful at the concerned Engineering Services Examination.

The decision of the Chairman "of the Central Standing Medical Board (conducting the medical examination of the concerned candidate) about the fitness, of the candidate shall be final.

13. 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 unfltness 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.

14. The Candidates who desire to file an appeal against the decision of the Medical Board are required to deposit an appeal fee of Rs. 50/- in such a manner as may be prescribed by the Government of India, Ministry of Railways (Railway Board) in this behalf. This fee will be refundable only to those candidates who are declared fit by the Appellate Medical Board whereas in the case of others it will be forfeited. Alongwith, appeal the candidates must, submit a medical certificate by a registered doctor specifically mentioning that he is aware of the candidate having been declared unfit by a Medical Board. Candidates must have a copy of this certificate when they present themselves before the Medical Board. The appeals should be submitted within 21 days of the date of communication in which the decision of the first Medical Board is conveyed to the candidate; otherwise request for medical examination by an appellate Medical Board will not be entertained. The medical examination by the Appellate Medical Board will be arranged only a candidate's own cost. No travelling allowance or daily allowance will be admissible for the journeys performed in-connection with the medical examination of the Appellate Medical Board. Necessary action to arrange medical examination by the Appellate Medical Board will be taken by the Ministry of Railways (Railway Board) on receipt of appeals accompanied by the prescribed fee within the stipulated time.

15. The decision of the Appellate Medical Board will be final and no appeal shall be against the same.

1. The standard of physical fitness to be adopted should make due allowance of the age and length of service, if any of the candidate concenrned

No person will be deemed qualified for admission to the Public Service who shall not satisfy .

Government or the 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 ihould be understood that the question of fitness involves the future as well as the present and that one of the main objects of medical examination is to secure continuous effective service and in the case of candidates for permanent appointment to prevent early pension or payment 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 that rejection of a candidate need not be advised on account of the presence of a defect which in 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 woman 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 a minor disability disqualifying a candidate for Government service can be cured by treatment (medical or surgical) a statement to that effect should be recorded by the Medical Board There is no objection to a candidate being informed of the Board's opinion to this 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 candidates 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 Medical Board's Report

The following intimation is made for the guidance of the Medical Examiner:
