their discretion shall be summoned by them for interview.

*Amended vide SRO No. 154 of 2011 dated 19-05-2011

Note:- The interview test is intended to judge the mental caliber of a candidate. In
broad terms, this is really an assessment of not only his intellectual qualities but
also social traits and his interest in current affairs. Some of the qualities to be
judged are mental alertness, critical powers of assimilation, clear and logical
expositions, balance of judgement, variety and depth of interest, ability for social
cohesion and leadership, intellectual and moral integrity.

(5) A candidate who fails to secure such minimum number of marks as are fixed
by the Commission in their discretion in more than one subject shall not be eligible
to be called for interview.

(6) A Candidate must write the papers in his own hand. In no circumstances, will
anybody be allowed the help of a scribe to write the answer for him.

(7) If a candidates handwriting is not easily legible a deduction will be made on

this account from the total marks otherwise accruing to him.

(8) Marks will not be allotted for mere superficial knowledge.

(9) Credit will be given for orderly, effective and exact expression combined with
due economy of words in all subjects of the examination.

(10) A candidate shall specify in his application form the optional paper/papers in
which he wants to appear. The option once made shall be final. Failure to specify
any or all the optional papers shall render the form liable to be rejected.

*(11) A candidate shall have to write the compulsory papers and optional papers
(except language paper in English).

*9.

(1).The number of candidates to be summoned for interview will not be more than
thrice the number of vacancies to be filled. The interview will carry a
maximum of 250 marks (with no minimum qualifying marks). Failure to
appear in the interview shall render a candidate ineligible for being
recommended for appointment notwithstanding the marks obtained by
him in the written examination.
(2).

The candidates shall be short-listed for interview on the basis of overall

merit obtained by them in the Main Examination irrespective of the
category(ies) to which he/she/they belong:

*Amended vide SRO No. 154 of 2011 dated 19-05-2011

Provided that if the number of candidates belonging to any reserved

category, who qualify for the interview on the basis of the above shortlisting criteria, falls short of upto three times the number of vacancies
reserved for such a category, the Commission shall call the candidates
belonging to such category over and above the number short-listed for
interview.

*10. Merit List.-Marks thus obtained by the candidates in the Main Examination (written
part as well as interview) would determine the final order of merit. Candidates shall be
allotted to the various services keeping in view their inter-se merit in the examination
and the preferences expressed by them for the various services and posts.
The allotment of candidates to various services shall be made by the
Commission.
Provided that a candidate belonging to a reserved category, though not
qualifying by the standard prescribed by the Commission may be declared suitable for
appointment thereto by reduced standards with due regard to the maintenance of
efficiency in administration, and recommended for appointment to vacancies reserved
for members of such class in that service;
Provided that physically challenged candidates shall be considered for
selection in the services and against the posts identified for their respective
categories in terms of Jammu and Kashmir Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities,
Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Rules, 2003 and in accordance with their
merit-cum-preference, if otherwise found suitable for selection.

*11. A candidate must be in good mental and bodily health and free from any physical
defect likely to interfere with the discharge of his duties as an officer of the service. A
candidate who after such Medical Examination as the government may prescribe is found
not to satisfy these requirements will not be recommended by the Commission for
appointment. The Medical Examination shall be conducted by the Commission before
forwarding the select list to the government in accordance with the rules:
Provided that Medical Board shall intimate the nature and degree of disability of
physically challenged candidates in terms of the Jammu and Kashmir Persons with
Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Rules, 2003
with specific recommendation, if any, in respect of each of such candidate(s) for
appointment to various posts through the Combined Competitive Examination.
Explanation: Instructions to appear before the Medical Board shall not be deemed to
mean that a candidate for direct recruitment if found fit is necessarily given an
appointment. The medical examination will be conducted by a Medical Board to be
arranged by the Commission in accordance with Appendix-III for the candidates for J&K

*Amended vide SRO No. 154 of 2011 dated 19-05-2011

to pay a fee as prescribed from time to time to the Medical Board.
12. Determination of order of merit in the event of a tie.- In the event of a tie, the order
of merit shall be determined in accordance with the highest marks secured in the vivavoce. Should the marks in the viva-voce of the candidates be also equal, the order of
merit shall be decided in accordance with the highest marks obtained by such candidates
in the aggregate of the compulsory papers. However, in case the marks obtained in
compulsory papers are also equal, the order of merit shall be determined in accordance
with the marks obtained in General Studies Paper. Similarly, if the marks obtained in
General Studies be also equal, then the order of merit shall be determined in descending
order of the date of birth of the candidates.
13. Success in the examination confers no right to appointment unless Government is
satisfied after such enquiry as may be considered necessary that the candidate is suitable
in all respects for appointment to the service.

14.
Repeal and savings.- (1) All rules corresponding to these rules including

Regulations for the Medical Examination of Candidates for admission to the
Jammu and Kashmir Police (Gazetted) Service.
These regulations are intended merely for the guidance of Medical Examiners
and are not meant to restrict their discretion in any manner.
1.

2.

To be passed as medically fit for admission to the J&K Police (Gazetted) Service, a
candidate must be in good mental and bodily health and free from any physical
defect likely to interfere with the efficient performance of the duties of his
appointment.
The candidates height will be measured as follows:He will remove his shoes and be placed against the standard with his feet
together, and the weight thrown on the heels and not on the toes of outer sides
of the feet. He will stand erect without rigidity and with the heel claves, buttocks
and shoulders touching the standard; the chin will be depressed to bring the
vertex of the heel level under the horizontal bar, and the height will be recorded
in inches and parts of an inch to quarters.

*3.

The candidates chest will be measured as follows:He will be made to stand erect with his feet together and to raise his arms over
his head. The tape will be so adjusted round the chest that its upper edge
touches the interior angles of the shoulders blades behind and its lower edge the
upper part of the nipple in front. The arms will then be lowered to hand loosely
by the side, and care-be taken that shoulders are not thrown upwards or
backwards so as to displace the tape.
The candidate will then be directed to take deep inspiration several times, and
the maximum expansion of the chest will be carefully noted. The range of the
expansion should not be less than 5 cm. The minimum and maximum will then be
recorded in cms-84-89, 86-91 etc etc.
In recording the measurement, the following table is given for the guidance of

The candidate will also be weighed, and his weight recorded in pounds. Fractions
of pound should not be noted.

5.

The following conditions should be observed in connection with the test for
acuteness of vision:-

Vision of Candidates.
(a)

No candidate will be accepted whose vision is less than :

Better eye
V-5/6 Reads 6.

Worse eye
V-6/12 Reads 1.

Spectacles will be allowed for either eye up to plus 5.0 or minus 5.0 D;
provided that there are no morbid changes in the fundus.
(b)

In myopia if there is a posterior staphyloma, the spectacles must

not exceed 2.5 D in either eye.

(c)

In case of astigmatism, the combined lenses must not exceed 5

Diopters and there should be no fundus changes.

(d)

Squint or any other morbid condition of the eyes of the lids of

either eye liable to the risk of aggravation or recurrence will
cause the rejection of the candidate.

(e)

Each eye must have a full field of vision as tested by hand

movements.

(f)

Any defect in colour vision will be noted, but will not cause
rejection of the candidate.

(g)

In case of doubt or of serious abnormality, the opinion of the

Ophthalmic Specialist will be obtained.

(h)

No candidate will be accepted whose standard of vision does not

come up to the specified requirements without the use of the
contact glasses.

6.

The Urine (passed in presence of the Examiner) should be examined and the
result recorded.

7.

The following additional points should be observed:

(a)

That the candidates hearing in each ear is good, and that there is
no sign of disease of the ear;

(b)

that his speech is without impediment;

(c)

that his teeth are in good order and that he is provided with
dentures where necessary for effective mastication (well filled
teeth will be considered as sound).

(d)

that his chest is well formed and his chest expansion sufficient,
and that his heart and lungs are sound;

(e)

that there is no evidence of abdominal disease;

(f)

that he is not raptured;

(g)

that he does not suffer from hydrocelea severe degree of

varicose, varico sevens or piles.

(h)

that his limbs, hands and feet are well formed and developed
and that there is free and perfect motion of all his joints;

(i)

that he does not suffer from any inveterate etc. skin disease;

(j)

that there is no congenital malformation or defect;

(k)

that he does not bear traces of acute or chronic disease pointing

to an impaired constitution;

(L)

that he bears marks of efficient vaccination and evidence of revaccination within the last 12 months.

When any defect is found it must be noted in the certificate and the
medical examiner should state his opinion whether or not it is likely to interfere with the
efficient performance of the duties which will be required of the candidate. If the
condition is remediable by operation it should be stated.
The following intimation is made for the guidance of the Medical
Examiner:1.

In the medical examination of candidates Medical Officers are specially required

to use tact and judgment and to take proper precaution to secure privacy with
the object of removing any objection which may be made by individuals to
stripping.

2.

Should a candidate object to the Exposure of his person for the detection of
haemorrhoide, venereal diseases, hernia and disease of the testicles, scrotum
and rectum, the candidate must if this examination in his case is in the opinion of
the Board necessary, be rejected.

3.

The opinion of the Board accepting or rejecting a candidate is final and cannot be
questioned on this ground. The Board is debarred from disclosing to any
candidate, permanently unfit; the reasons for his rejection. In these cases their
opinion and report is to be treated as strictly confidential and for the information
of Government only. Where, however, the Board detects a temporary defect

amendable to treatment the candidate may be so informed in order that he may

have the defect remedied and present himself for re-examination.
4.

No person will be deemed qualified for admission to the service who shall not
satisfy the Government that he has no disease, constitutional affection or bodily
infirmity unfitting him or likely to unfit him, for that service.

5.

It should be understood that the question of fitness involves the future as well as
the present, and the main object of medical examination is to secure continuous
effective service, and in the case of candidates for permanent appointment to
prevent early pension or payment in case of premature death. It is at the same
time to be noted that the question is one of the likelihood of continuous
effective service and that the rejection of a candidate need not be advised on
account of the presence of a defect which is only a small pro-portion of cases is
found to interfere with continuous effectively service.

The candidate must make the statement required below prior to his medical
examination and must sign the declaration appended thereto. His attention is specially
directed to the warning contained in the note below:1.

APPENDIX-IV
REGULATIONS RELATING TO THE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF CANDIDATES.

These regulations are notified for the convenience of candidates and in order to
enable them to ascertain the probability of their coming up to the required physical
standard. But it must be clearly understood that the Government reserves to themselves
an absolute discretion to reject as unfit any candidate whom they may consider on the
report of the Medical Board, to be physically disqualified and that their discretion, is in no
respect limited by these regulations. These regulations are intended merely for the
guidance of Medical Examiners and are not meant to restrict their discretion in any way.
(1) To be passed as fit for appointment, a candidate must be in good mental and
bodily health and free from any physical defect likely to interfere with the
efficient performance of the duties of his appointment.
Provided that Medical Board shall intimate the nature and degree of
disability of physically challenged candidate in terms of Government Order
No.62-SW of 2001 dated: 13.03.2001 with specific recommendations, if any,
in respect of each of such candidate (s) for appointment to various posts
through the Combined Competitive Examination.
(2) In the matter of correlation of age, height and chest girth of candidate, it is
left to the Medical Board to use whatever correlation figures are considered
most suitable as a guide in the examination of the candidates. If there be any
disproportion with regard to height, weight and chest girth, the candidate
should be hospitalized for investigation and X-Ray of the chest taken before
the candidate is declared fit or not fit by the Board.
(3) The candidate will be weighed and his weight recorded in kilograms;
fractions of a half a kilogram should not be noted:(4) The candidates eye sight will be tested in accordance with the following
rules. The result of each test will be recorded:(i) General: - The candidates eye will be subjected to a general examination
directed to the detection of any disease or abnormality. The candidate will be
rejected if he suffers from any squint or morbid conditions of eyes, eye-lids or
contiguous structures of such a sort as to render or likely at a future date to
render him unfit for service.
(ii) Visual Activity:- The examination for determining the acuteness of vision
includes two tests, one for distant, the other for near vision. Each eye will be
examined separately.

There shall be no limit for minimum naked eye vision but the naked eye vision of
the candidates shall, however, be recorded by the Medical Board or Medical authority in
every case, as it will furnish the basic information in regard to the condition of the eye.
The standards for distant and near vision or without glasses shall be as follows:Distant vision
Near vision
_________________________________________________________
Better eye
6/9

Worse eye
6/9

Better eye
Sn 0 6

Worse eye
Sn. 0

or
6/6

6/12

Note: - (1)

Total amount of Myopia (including the cylinder) shall not exceed 8.00 D
in each eye. Total Hypermetropia shall not exceed + 6.00 D in each eye

(2)

Fundus Examination:- Wherever possible, fundus examination will be

carried out at the discretion of the Medical Board and results recorded.

(3)

Colour Vision: - Colour perception should be graded into

a higher and a lower grade depending upon the size of the aperture in
the lantern as described in the table below:-

Grade
_________________
1. Distance between the lambs
Candidate.
2. Size of aperture
3. Time of exposure

Higher Grade of
Colour perception
_______________

4.9 meters
1.8 mm
5 sec.

Lower Grade
of Colour perception
_________________

4.9 meters
1.8 mm
5 sec.

(iii) Satisfactory colour vision constitutes recognition with ease and without
hesitation of signal red, signal green and white colours. The use of Ishiharas Plates,
shown in good light and suitable lantern like Edrige greens shall be considered quite
dependable for testing colour vision. In doubtful cases, where a candidate fails to qualify
when tested by only one of the two tests, both the tests should be employed.
(5) Field of Vision. The field of vision shall be tested in respect of all services by
the confrontation method. Where such test gives unsatisfactory or doubtful
results, the field of vision should be determined on the perimeter.
(6) Night Blindness: - Night blindness need not be tested as a routine but only in
special cases. No standard test for the testing of night blindness or dark
adaptation is prescribed. The medical board should be given the discretion to
improvise such rough tests, e.g. recording the visual acuity with reduced
illumination or by making the candidate recognize various objects in a
darkened room after he/she has been there for 20 to 30 minutes.
Candidates own statements should not always be relied upon but they
should be given due consideration.

(7) Ocular conditions other than visual activity:(a) Any organic disease or a progressive refractive error which is likely to result
in lowering the visual activity should be considered as a disqualification.
(b) Trachoma:- Trachoma unless complicated shall not ordinarily be a cause for
disqualification.
(c) One-eyed persons:- The employment of one eyed individuals is not
recommended.
(8) Blood pressure:- The Board will use its discretion regarding Blood Pressure. A
rough method of calculating normal maximum systolic pressure is as follows:(i)With young subjects 15-25 years of age the average is about 100 plus the age.
(ii)With subjects over 25 years of age the general rule of 110 plus half the age
seems quite satisfactory.
N.B.:- As a rule any systolic pressure over 140 mm. and diastolic over 90 mm. should be
regarded as suspicious and the candidate should be hospitalized by the Board before
giving their final opinion regarding the candidates fitness or otherwise. The
hospitalization report should indicate whether the rise in Blood pressure is of a transient
nature due to excitement etc. or whether it is due to any organic disease. In all such cases
X-Ray and electrocardiographic examinations of heart and blood urea clearance test
should also be done as a routine. The final decision as to the fitness or otherwise of a
candidate will, however, rest with the medical board only.
Method of taking Blood Pressure.
The mercury manometer type of instrument should be used as a rule. The
measurement should not be taken within fifteen minutes of any exercise of excitement.
Provided the patient and particularly his arm is relaxed, he may be either lying or sitting.
The arm is supported comfortably at the patients side in a more or less horizontal
position. The arm should be free from the clothes to the shoulder. The cuff completely
deflated should be applied with the middle of the rubber over the inner side of the arm,
and its lower edge an inch or two above the bend of the elbow. The following turns of
cloth bandage should spread evenly over the bag to avoid bulging during inflation.
The brachial artery is located by palpitation at the bend of the elbow and the
stethoscope is then applied lightly and centrally over it below, but not in contact with the
cuff. The cuff is inflated to above 200 mm. Hg. and then slowly deflated. The level at
which the column stands when soft successive sounds are heard represents the Systolic
Pressure. When more air is allowed to escape the sounds will be heard to increase in
intensity. The level at which the well-heard clear sound change to soft muffled fading
sounds represents the diastolic pressure. The measurements should be taken in a fairly
brief period of time as prolonged pressure of the cuff is irritating to the patient and will
vitiate the readings. Re-checking, if necessary, should be done only a few minutes after
complete deflation of the cuff. Sometime as the cuff is deflated, sounds are heard at a

certain level; they may disappear as pressure falls and re-appears at a still lower level.
This Silent gap may cause error in reading.
(9) The urine (passed in presence of the examiner) should be examined and the
results recorded. Where a Medical Board finds sugar present in a candidates
urine by the usual chemical tests, the Board will proceed with the
examination with all its other aspects and will also specially note any signs or
symptoms suggestive of diabetes. If except for the glycosauria the Board
finds the candidate conforms to the standard of medical fitness required,
they may pass the candidate. fit subject to the glycosauria being nondiabetic and the Board will refer the case to a specified specialist in
Medicine who has hospital and laboratory facilities at his disposal . The
Medical Specialist will carry out whatever examinations clinical and
laboratory he considers necessary including a standard blood sugar tolerance
test and will submit his opinion to the Medical Board upon which the Medical
Board will base its final opinion fit or unfit. The candidate will not be
required to appear in person before the Board on the second occasion. To
exclude the effects of medication it may be necessary to retain, a candidate
for several days in hospital under strict supervision.
(10) The following additional points should be observed:(a)

that the candidates hearing in each ear is good and that there is no sign
of disease of the ear. In case it is defective the candidate should be
examined by the ear specialist. Provided that if the defect in hearing is
remediable by operation or by use of a hearing aid a
candidate
cannot be declared unfit on that account provided he/she has no
progressive disease in the ear;

(b)

that his/her speech is without impediment.

(c)

that his/her teeth, are in good order and that he/she is provided with
denture where necessary for effective mastication (well filled teeth will
be considered as sound);

(d)

that the chest is well formed and his chest expansion sufficient; and that
his heart and lungs are sound;

(e)

that there is no evidence of any abdominal disease;

(f)

that he is not raptured;

(g)

that he does not suffer from hydrocele, a severe degree of varicocele,

varicose venis or piles;

(h)

that his limbs, hands and feet are well formed and developed and that
there is free and perfect motion of all his joints;

(i)

that he does not suffer from any inveterate skin disease;

(j)

that there is no congenital malformation or defect;

(k)

that he does not bear traces of acute or chronic disease pointing to an

impaired constitution;

(L)

That he bears-marks of efficient vaccination and

(m)

that he is free from communicable disease.

(11) Radiographic examination of the chest should be done as a routine in all

cases for detecting any abnormality of the heart and lungs, which may not be
apparent by ordinary physical examination.
(12) When any defect is found it must be noted in the certificate and the medical
examiner should state his opinion whether or not it is likely to interfere with
the efficient performance of the duties which will be required of the
candidate.
NOTE: - Candidates are warned that there is no right of appeal from a Medical
Board, special or standing, appointed to determine their fitness for the above service. If
however, Government are satisfied on the evidence produced before them of the
possibility of an error of judgment in the decision of the First Board, it is open to
Government to allow an appeal to a second Board. Such evidence should be submitted
within one month of the date of the communication in which the decision of the first
Medical Board is communicated to the candidate, otherwise no request for an appeal to
a second Medical Board, will be considered.
If any medical certificate is produced by a candidate as a piece of evidence about
the possibility of an error of judgment in the decision of the First Board, the certificate
will not be taken into consideration unless it contains a note by the medical practitioner
concerned to the effect that it has been given in full knowledge of the fact that the
candidate has already been rejected as unfit for service by the Medical Board.

MEDICAL BOARDS REPORT

The following intimation is made for the guidance of the Medical Examiner:1.

The standard of physical fitness to be adopted should make on due allowance for
the age and length of service, if any, of the candidate concerned.

No person will be deemed qualified for admission to the Public Service who shall
not satisfy the appointing authority, as the case may be that he has no disease,
constitutional affection, or bodily infirmity unfitting him, or likely to unfit him for that
service
It should be understood that the question of fitness involves the future as well as
the present and that one of the main objects of medical examination is to secure
continuous effective service, and in the case of candidates for permanent appointment to
prevent early pension or payments in case of premature death. It is at the same time to
be noted that the question is one of the likelihood of continuous effective service, and
that rejection of a candidate need not be advised on account of the presence of a defect

which is only a small proportion of cases is found to interfere with continuous effective
service.
A lady doctor will be co-opted as a member of the Medical Board whenever a
woman candidate is to be examined.
The report of the Medical Board should be treated as confidential.
In case where a candidate is declared unfit for appointment in the Government
Service the grounds for rejection may be communicated to the candidate in broad terms
without giving minute details regarding the defect pointed out by the Medical Board.
In case where a Medical Board considers that a minor disability disqualifying a
candidate for Government Service can be cured by treatment (medical or surgical) a
statement to that effect should be recorded by the Medical Board. There is no objection
to a candidate being informed of the Boards opinion to this effect by the appointing
authority and when a cure has been effected it will be open to the authority concerned
to ask for another Medical Board.
In the case of candidates who are to be declared Temporarily Unfit the period
specified for re-examination should not ordinarily exceed six months at the maximum. On
re-examination after the specified period these candidates should not be declared
temporarily unfit for a further period but a final decision in regard to their fitness for
appointment or otherwise should be given.
