Dear Friend

It is truly said that Color Blindness is incurable and so, if some competition or post
doesn't allow color blind persons then you can never be a part of that.

A color blind person is not eligible for certain services but it doesn't mean that color
blind persons are debarred from the examination.

You are eligible for civil services examination but you should not choose services like;
Indian Police Services, Pondichery Police Services etc.

You can apply for Indian Administrative Services, Indian Revenue services,
Indian Foreign Services, etc.

For any further details you may visit: www.upsc.gov.in

of talented candidate of India.

A colour blind person are are not eligible for some civil services exam but
in some Civil services exam they are eligible.

You are eligible for the Indian Administrative Services (IAS) , Indian Foreign Services (IFS) exam but you are not eligible for the Indian police Services (IPS) exam.

For complete information please see the official website of UPSC.

Hello,
For upsc (IAS), there are not such physical standards but for posts like IPS, IFS physical standards are very pronounced. You will get the posts according to your performance in CSAT, although after selection in civil services, colour blindness may be an issue.
For more information you can visit-www.upsc.gov.in

Thumbs up Re: Is a colour blind candidate eligible for UPSC Civil Services Exams?

Hi friend,

As the eligibility criteria says UPSC exams are even available for blind

persons then i don't think color blindness is a problem. But some of the fields in

UPSC like IPS needs physical fitness. Those fields are not available for you.

Thank You

yes in some civil services fitness is required
like IPS(Indian Police services),
so colour blindness will be a problem.

But there are other posts in UPSC that you can apply for like IAS.
Not to worry ,you can sit for upsc but you need to choose wisely.

yes friend you are eligible do not worry.

Eligibility criteria for the UPSC Civil services exam:
Nationality:indian or indian by origin
Academic: minimum a bachelors degree from any recognized university in any discipline
Age:minimum of 21 years and maximum of 30 years
Numbers of attempts: OC-4, OBC-7 and SC/ST-no limit
if you posses all the above mentioned criteria you are eligible for UPSC exams.

but being color blind candidate, which has no cure you will not be eligible for few posts like IPS. you can try for other posts.

Gud Luck friend.

so pls dont be disheartened..

Please dont feel disappointed because Color blind candidates are eligible for the Civil Services Examination. However you can not apply for Indian Police Service and Indian Forest Service.

But you certainly can apply for the Indian Administrative Service. Such problems are no issue in IAS. As a matter of fact person with disabilities are allowed to appear for the Indian Administrative Service.

There is even a quota for the PWD candidates. Unfortunately you will not be eligible for this quota however you certainly are eligible for the Indian Adminstrative Service.

Therefore when you apply for the Civil Services Examination please ensure that you apply for the Indian Administrative Service. Otherwise you will get disqualified during the medical tests.


IAS Eligibility

1. Nationality: Only Indian citizens will be allowed to appear.

2. Qualification: Under graduate degree in any discipline.

3. Marks Criteria: There isn't any.

4. Age Limit: You must be 21 years old to appear and at the same time less than 30 years old.

5. Relaxation: Upper age limit relaxation is 3 years for the OBC while 5 years for the Schedule Caste and Schedule Tribe candidates.

6. Please note there are no physical criteria for the Indian Administrative Service.


Selection Procedure

1. Preliminary Exam

2. Main Exam

3. Interview (Personal)


Number of Attempts

1. 4 attempts per candidate (General)

2. 7 attempts for OBC candidate.

3. No limit if belongs to SC/ST.

Hi Dear,

If you are colour blind, you are not eligible for IPS, IRTS, and other technical services. you are eligible for IAS and IFS even if you are physically or visually handicapped.
