Yes, height might be a problematic issue during the selection of your rounds. The basic height for Male Candidates is set at 165 cms, however as your height is just a cm below, I think the might consider it, but there is no surety for it.

You might face problem regarding it, unless and until you fall under SC/ST category as the minimum required for SC/SD candidates is set at 160 cms.
