Feb 19, 2026

SSC GD Constable medical test 2026 is conducted by the respective Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) as part of the final selection process. Shortlisted candidates, those who pass the computer-based test (CBE), physical standard test (PST) and physical efficiency test (PET), are sent to designated CAPF medical centres across India for the Detailed Medical Examination (DME). SSC GD 2026 medical test assesses overall health: eyesight, hearing, body fitness, and absence of disqualifying physical or chronic conditions. Candidates declared medically “fit” proceed to document verification, final merit list, and training allocation.

SSC GD 2026 Medical Test Full Details

The Medical Examination is the conclusive phase of the SSC GD selection process for the Constable post. Candidates who have passed the SSC GD PET and PST tests, the Computer Based Exam, and other exams are eligible to take it. The purpose of the medical examination is to determine if the applicant is physically capable of performing the demanding duties of the force. A Detailed Medical Examination (DME) and a Review Medical Examination (RME) make up this process. The SSC GD DME is a requirement for all chosen applicants, while the RME is an option for those who want a second opinion.

SSC GD 2026 Detailed Medical Examination (DME)

The Detailed Medical Examination (DME) consists of several assessments that determine the fitness of candidates for General Duty Constable positions. Failing to qualify in any of these tests will result in the candidate being deemed unfit for the role. The DME includes the following levels of assessment:

  1. Visual Standards: Candidates must have a minimum visual acuity of 6/9 in the weaker eye, without the use of visual correction.
  2. Hearing Standards: This test evaluates candidates' hearing abilities, including an examination of the ear drums. It checks for deafness, discharge, hearing deficits, and other related conditions.
  3. Dental Examination: Candidates undergo an examination to assess tooth loss, decay, and the adequacy of teeth for proper chewing. An examination of the gums is also conducted.
  4. Standing Examination: This assessment evaluates the normal functioning of the head, neck, chest wall, and upper extremities (from fingers to shoulder joints).
  5. Lower Extremities Examination: Both lower limbs are examined, including tests for flat feet, bow legs, hammer toe, and other abnormalities.

Additionally, the SSC GD Medical test includes examinations for skin diseases and leprosy, inguinal region and genitals, heart and vascular system, as well as an examination of the abdomen.

SSC GD 2026 Review Medical Examination (DME)

Candidates who are deemed "Unfit" during the SSC GD Medical test or Detailed Medical Examination (DME) have the opportunity to participate in the Review Medical Examination (RME). These candidates are required to submit a signed intimation, providing reasons for their unfit status. The RME specifically focuses on examining the deficiencies for which they were declared unfit during the DME. Typically, this exam is conducted on the following day after the Detailed Medical Test.

Candidates can have their medical fitness examined during the review medical examination. It gives them the chance to argue their case and be thoroughly examined in relation to the particular issues that prompted the first unfit assessment. Giving applicants a fair chance to clarify any ambiguities or potential mistakes that may have happened during the DME is the goal of this exam.

Candidates should take note that the RME concentrates on the areas of concern identified during the DME. It does not involve a complete reevaluation of all medical aspects. Therefore, candidates should focus on providing detailed explanations and evidence related to the specific deficiencies or conditions that led to their initial unfit status.

Overall, the Review Medical Examination provides a valuable chance for candidates to present their case and seek reconsideration of their medical fitness, ensuring a fair and thorough assessment of their suitability for the General Duty Constable posts.
