A Real Aspirant Problem: The “Color Blindness” Rejection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we look at the big list of posts, you must know about a very sad problem that happens during the final selection: The Medical Test Rejection.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After clearing the tough SSC CGL exams<\/a> (Tier 1 and Tier 2), the Staff Selection Commission asks you to fill out an online “Post Preference Form.” Many students simply put “Customs Inspector” or “CBI Sub-Inspector” as their first choice because these uniform jobs look very powerful. But they completely ignore the medical rules!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a student has color blindness or wears thick glasses, and they select an Inspector post, they get permanently rejected during the final medical or physical check-up. They lose the job even after passing the written paper. To stop this from happening to you, you must carefully read which posts need perfect eyesight and which posts are simple desk jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
