is a colour blind candidate eligible for civil services ?

Color blindness means you can not easily identify red/green/yellow colors.

They'll perform following two tests :

1. Ishihara's plates

2. Edrige Green's latern

services like IPS,RPF you need high grade color perception, so you can not be a part of civil service .

Medical Fitness For Civil Service Exam.

There is No Medical Test for Civil Service Exam but they do have in the Sub- Entries.

Like if you are aspiring to join IPS Officer through CSAT exam then IPS selection board do have Medical Fitness test..

IAS i.e Indian Administrative Service doesn't have Much physical Fitness test. But Indian police Service do have..

Below are Some features to be carried out.

• For Male candidate
  
  • Min height should be 160 cm, Chest should be Minimum 84 cm. Expansion 5 cm.
    
    
  • Eye sight should be 6/6 or 6/9 distant vision for good eye. For worst eye 6/12 or 6/9.
    
    
  • Near vision J 1 for good eye,J2 for worst eye. The correction is by lenses only.
    
    
  • High standard for the Colour-blind test. No inherent night blindness. Vision should stereoscopic.
    
    
  • Blood pressure (High) :Age 23 - 123, age 24 - 124,age 25 122, age 28 - 124, age 30- 125, age 32 - 126,age 34 - 127.
    
    
  • Ear- good listening & normal ear cavity. 1000 to 4000 frequency hearing impairment shd not be more than 30 decibels.
    
    
  • Nasal- candidate should not stammer while speaking.

So, i don't think Colour blindness are allowed in IPS entry, But IAS officer is an Entry through you can go for. because IAS doesn't have any Physical Fitness test

Hello,

According to my knowledge, Color blind candidates are not eligible for Civil Services Examination.

Civil Services Examinations are IAS, IPS, IAF, IFS ....... etc.

As per Civil Services Examinations, candidates must be physically fit.


Good Luck

Medical Fitness Criteria for UPSC civil services exam:
In civil services exams medical fitness is one of the criteria for IPS not IAS.
Services are divided into technical and non-technical. Technical services are IRTS, IPS, DANI PS, CISF, RPF & other Police organization. The Medical standards for Technical Services are stringent.

(Those can’t expand the chest go to next service. If expansion is less during 1st Medical, i.e. just after interview; during second Medical, i.e. after the result, or appeal, expansion can be shown.)
Many people fail in this test of chest expansion.
(I know some people who have cleared this exam during the second Medical Test, i.e. after the Medical Exam conducted after the declaration of Final result)
Eye sight – 6/6 or 6/9 distant vision for good eye. 6/12 or 6/9 for worst eye. Near vision J 1 for good eye. J2 for worst eye. High standard for the Color-blind test. No inherent night blindness. Vision should stereoscopic.

Ladies should not be pregnant at the time of Medical Test.
Ear- good listening & normal ear cavity. 1000 to 4000 frequency hearing impairment shd not be more than 30 decibels.
Nasal- candidate should not stammer while speaking.
