hi,
my height is 6’6″ and weight is 110 kg
as per army standards it should be 80kg.
My ssb is on 30th dec n today it is 3rd i have a good body this weight is because of my heavy bones i guess.
Also my knees join with each other while i stand straight with feets making a V angle.
Please suggest me that should i go for SSB or not?
As my classes in Canada wl start from 11 jan and they wont allow me late.
If i got rejected over here i will be in a big trouble
Hi, if your bone density is more then they will clear you for weight. Your knees joins when you stand then it is ok, they have some tolerance level plus girls do have that knock knee. Tolerance level is more in case of girls.
Confidently appear in the SSB and clear it 🙂 best of luck

minimum one year of recovery time is needed to clear medical after Lasik surgery. . . so after Lasik surgery you have to wait for 12 months.
Minimum power in both the eyes is -3.5D. . .

yes frnd it might be a cause for rejection…my bro got permanent rejection due to this…the only way to clear this is “be patient make urself calm and cool during HYPERHYDROSIS checkup”….this prob arises due to unnecessary confusion in mind & unstable mind….DONT BE NERVOUS…go ahead soldier

sorry sweetie, you are not medically eligible for any of the defence forces. Why don’t you prepare for IAS? Both defence and IAS jobs are equivalent.
but sir gynecomastia surgery is a liposuction surgery not a lasik one….even then will i b rejected??
shivendra, that reply wasn’t for you, it was for shreya.
and gynecosmastia is not a problem which will create issue in your training. . . you will not get rejected and if you join academy then within one month you will get rid of the excessive fat stored in your chest. . . If you go for surgery then you may get rejected, so appear for medicals confidently.
sir i hv gynecomastia…..but very low order…if i get it surgically removed will i b declared medically fit ?
Sir, i have myopia -6.25. i wish to apply for the technical branch in IAF. i plan to undergo LASIK surgery. Would it be permissible because my myopia is quite high… please help me
After the surgery you need to wait for one year, as candidates with LASIK surgery done within one year of period from the day of medical examination are rejected. . . Also, after one year do carry the LASIK surgery documents with you as it will be a proof that you get it done a year before. . .
Best of luck
hello sir, I have same problem as shreya,,,,
as in the Indian Airforce, they said in the advertisement in the tech branch that all the medical criteria is evaluated at the time of medical exam.so lasik surgery is applicable in the defence forces.
in the advertisement of the indian army(TGC-117),they said clearly that the person who did lasik surgery for improvement of refractive errors are rejected.
so means lasik surgery is nt applicable in the Army.
Please sir reply for my this problems.
Sir, can we lose 8kgs in 22 days ?
Yes, you can easily lose it. . . Workout hard, eat less but take gulucose. . . If you are doing this for the medicals then it is fine, but if you are doing it to just appear in SSB then it is not recommended. . . Clear the SSB, appear for medicals, you will get temporary rejection and forty two days time period to reduce the wait, you can lose it at that point of time.
Best of luck

Best of luck
Hi,
need your help a li’l bit. How is knock knees examined in Medical. When i join both my ankles, my knees touch and so the thighs. Is that s sure shot cause of rejection coz going by the definition of knock knees, knees touch but ankles do not. Please suggest. Thanks
When you say knock Knees, then knees shouldn’t touch each other when you stand with your feet closer .
in knock knees, knees touches when you join your heels in such a fashion that your feet makes a V shape. . .
Generally it is tolerable in medicals for say four centimeter. So don’t worry about that, appear for SSB and go through the medicals. I hope your knock knees is not severe.
hey admin, unfortunately I lost my medical forms for TR (CDS Entry Army). 🙁 What to do now?
Gross mistake Bhavesh, anyways please contact the board from where you go recommended and ask for the possible way out.
not a big problem dude, i hope you had submitted the fees in state bank of india. . . go to your board from where you were recommended and they will hand over you a copy of the medical forms. . . Chillax
