Key Takeaways on Medical Fitness
Strict Standards: The medical requirements for the Indian Armed Forces are exceptionally tough, covering everything from eyesight and hearing to internal organ health, psychological balance, and mental abilities [00:19].

Physical Demands: Training and military life are grueling. For example, in an operation, an officer might have to climb from 6,000 feet to 13,000 feet overnight while carrying heavy gear like weapons, ammunition, grenades, and radio sets [01:03].

Consequences of Unfitness: Individuals who are not medically fit risk serious injury during the intense "ragging" and toughening-up process in the academies [01:38]. Additionally, as an officer, you are responsible for the lives of your subordinates [00:52].

The Medical Examination: After passing the written exam (or eligibility criteria) and the SSB, candidates undergo a thorough medical exam by Army doctors, which can last 3 to 4 days [02:27]. These examinations are described as the "gold standard" and are free from outside influence [02:41].

Official Guidelines: Aspirants can download the 80-page medical form from joinindianarmy.nic.in, print it, and take it to a specialist or an MBBS doctor for an initial assessment [01:52].
