The RRB Group D medical test is conducted by the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB), and passing the medical test is mandatory. Vision acuity is the most important among the various standards set for RRB Group D Medical Standards 2025. The medical standards differ for every post so based on the medical assessment the candidates are offered appointments in various Group D Level 1 posts.
RRB Group D Medical Standards 2025
The medical examination evaluates a candidate’s vision, physical fitness, and general health. There are varying medical standards set for different classifications, such as A-2, B-1, and C-1 depending upon the type of job in consideration. Candidates with physical disabilities or conditions that do not meet the required standards are considered physically unfit. The tests ensure that the candidate selected will possess strong medical and physical qualifications to undertake the duties required for their employment.
