My eye sight is -ve 4 ,so according to the physical standard we are not fit upto -4 so Please increasing this condition in civil service exam. Many students not able to qualify in the physical standard after clearing the paper due to this eye sight condition . Civil service is the most admired job in govt sector but every one has to apply this . Eye sight is now a days a common problem found in every one and major of the eye sight problem due to environmental pollution and un nutrioned food .so this criteria at least extended to some extend as this criteria is not present in IBPS any PSU and also SSC.
