Physical criteria

As such, these are just advisory in nature, meaning which they can’t reject a candidate if he has any of the above mentioned conditions. The mandatory conditions are, however, given below –

Note that eye glasses are allowed in CBI.

I have made a detailed video detailing my own experience regarding the medical of CBI. I have also answered most of the questions that aspirants have regarding the medical criteria of CBI. You can watch it here –

One thing to note here is that you have to get your medical done from your district government hospital. CBI doesn’t conduct its own medical test so whatever is written in your medical form by the district CMO will be accepted without verifying at their own end. The only requirement is that you must have the medical form signed by the CMO.
