Can a colour blind student become Indian Police Service and IAS

Hi, can color blind become RAS/IAS officer?

There are no physical criteria for the Indian Administrative Service. Which means that even a colorblind student can also apply for the Civil Services Examination for IAS.

The issue emerges is you apply for Indian Forest Service or the Indian Police Service. Here you will have to meet some physical criteria but not in case of Indian Administrative Service.

Color blindness is a minor issue for IAS. Physically handicapped students are selected for the IAS since there is some quota for them. Although I am not sure whether color blind students are eligible for Physical handicapped quota.

But the bottom line is that you can apply for the IAS entrance exam without any trouble. The forms will now made available only next year and therefore you will be only able to apply for the exam next year.

♦>> Eligibility Criteria :~

1. Indian Passport holders can apply for the exam.
